Affinity Designer 6 – Texture in Affinity Designer, is the 3rd in a 3-part series by Delores Naskrent to introduce you to the Affinity Designer software (6th in sequential order of all DeloresArt AD classes). We created the butterfly (or whatever!) in the first 2 classes and this class is where we will add all kinds of texture. There are different methods, of course, and I want to show you a bunch. Naturally, I am going to tie in a lot of ideas that I implemented. I will even provide you with a texture pack I have created for you.At the end, you will have a finished illustration ready for printing and hanging, or selling on a POD site, if that is your desire.

In this class I’ll walk you through:

adding a bitmap fill with the fill tool
importing texture fills to add to assets library
applying textures as layers and using multiple layers for effects
using blend modes to apply textures
recoloring imported textures

Adding bitmap fills into vector documents is another import skill to learn, and my guidance will help you through the questions you may have. This class will benefit anyone looking to add more depth to their knowledge of vector illustrations.

The key concepts I will include:

layer management and efficiencies
why asset collections are imperative in Affinity Designer
finishing techniques like adding depth and dimension with effects

Learning to soften the look of vectors in Affinity Designer is a valuable skill. Adding to your knowledge of vector software workflows is ideal in our profession and important for you to learn. We will do it, step-by-step, and think of further applications in future classes.
