Great tutorial. I need to learn this pen well. Most of the art I will be creating needs these clean curves and lines. Thank you!

That was super useful Ally - I have yet to fully master the pen tool at times! The Alt to break the curve is something I forget so easily. Thanks Ally. :)

Turns out my main problem with not being able to use the pen tool as flexibly as I need is the fact that I didn't know Rubber Band option should be on, and Snapping's off. Oh and using ALT to break the line and create a sharp point. Thank you SO much for this video!

I had no idea about the versatility of the pen tool. Only watched to find out how to draw whiskers and learned so much more. Great vid. This will save me so much time.

How many people here think its about time Affinity Designer developed an image to vector tracing function, like illustrator?

@tinkledellcottage3643 5 ай бұрын

Yes, I desperately need this. Adobe has it.

@russelljones3970 Ай бұрын

Adobe has had this feature for decades, I'm amazed Affinity doesn't.

Thanks for a great video! I stumbled upon a shortcut for changing direction with the pen tool. I don't use the Alt/Option key at all. Here's what I do: I draw my first line, either straight or curved. Let go of the mouse button. Click on the square or circle where my first line just ended. From there, if I want a straight line, I move the cursor to the next point, click and release. If I want a curve, I move the cursor to the next point, click and drag. This works for me on Win10 with AD version 2.2.1. I haven't tried this on the Mac yet.

Why not use a brush to trace in lieu of the pen tool?

@AffinityRevolution 3 ай бұрын

You can use the brush if you prefer that 😊

@mcpheex3 6 ай бұрын

This was fabulous! Thank you! I did it and was able to create a cat very close to yours. Any chance you know how to do the ALT trick to break the line and create a sharp point while working on the ipad?

@zakaroonetwork777 5 ай бұрын

Is there an Auto-trace Tool? or can you Darken the contrast, Make a magic selection and then color Fill the selection. to retain more of the ink pens natural character?

@heftymonk 5 ай бұрын

I wonder how to trace the image without outline. I mean, like template layer in illustrator.

Haha so true! 😅

@GeanImation Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment! I'm trying to figure out what the best sw is for me and now that you mention it, auto trace would save me so much time over thousands of projects, that this is probably a deal breaker for me where Affinity is concerned

@TheEurostar 10 ай бұрын

There many software dedicate only to autotrace, I don’t see why not having it inside Affinity should be such a deal breaker. A nuisance maybe, but a minor one.
