In this class, you'll learn how to create perfectly symmetrical vector illustrations in Affinity Designer for iPad, without having to rely on a sketch.
Designer for iPad has a built in symmetry tool in it's Pixel Persona, but not on it's vector side. While you can sketch out your design in raster mode (or in another program such as Procreate),trace it with a vector brush or fill it in with the shape tool, wouldn't it be easier if you could do everything right in the Designer Persona? You can, and in this class I am going to show you my method for doing just that.
In this class, you will learn:
- How the Symbols Studio works: creating symbols, adding them to your design, making changes to your symbols as well as how to detach a selected object from the Symbols studio.
- My method for creating an invisible background, using symbols, allowing you to add elements to one side of your design that automatically populate the other with perfect symmetry.
- How to use the Assets Studio, Pen, Pencil and Shape tools to easily add floral elements to your background without having to rely on exact measurements or snapping.
- How to add texture to your designs, using raster image files and brushes, both to the overall illustration as well as elements within the symbols.
- How you can add single, asymmetrical elements to your design, without affecting the rest of your symmetrical illustration.
