Painting In Affinity Designer


I also create illustrations and designs not only develop apps.
When creating them, I often use the graphic software Affinity Designer. It’s an awesome design tool.

Affinity Designer has an amazing set of vector-based brushes that allow you to use raster-style painting processes, but adjust your strokes after the fact. Learn how to use them in this lesson. Paint using raster brushes (soft, hard, textured, or image) with optional clipping to vectors.

In this article, I’ll introduce how to create a pixel art using Affinity Designer.


First, create a new document then you will see as follow:


Next, click on multiple cubes-like icon next to “Affinity Designer” icon.
As a result, you can see that the variation of the toolbar has changed.


Click another cubes-like icon (this is the pixel tool) near the center of the toolbar.


Now it’s time to create exciting pixel art, but we’ll do a little more to make it easier.
Click View menu on the top bar and then go down to the Grid and Axis Manager. You can see the pop-up window, so check the Show grid on it.
To adjust the grid spacing, change the Mode from Automatic to Basic, and change Spacing number.


A little more!


Click the icon next to the trash can mark at the bottom right to add a Pixel layer.


Affinity Designer Update

Next, Change the drawing color.


Change the drawing size.


Now we’re ready!

Create pixel art with your artistic sensitivity!🤩🤩🤩🤩

Whether you're using vector-based Pen, Pencil or Brush tools, or pixel-based Brush or Retouch tools, you can simply connect your device and you're ready to go.

For mouse users, Affinity Designer lets your mouse become velocity sensitive by default. The same brush tools can be used but with simulated pressure sensitivity based on the speed (velocity) of your mouse movements.

This automatic response is governed by the brush controller which is set to automatic by default—it senses the type of input device and varies brush size, flow, etc. as you paint according to a particular input: 'Pressure', 'Velocity', 'Brush Defaults', or 'None'. If set to 'None', the brush is always a fixed size, flow setting, etc. Otherwise, the brush stroke properties will vary from a minimum to maximum amount (e.g. the full brush width).

While you get the response you need from either input, you'll still be able to fine-tune brush settings for pressure/velocity.

  • For vector brush settings: jitter options let you control how brush size and flow are affected by your pressure-sensitive device or mouse.
  • Pixel brush settings: as for vector brush options, but additional jitter options are provided that affect brush hardness, shape, color, and the scatter and rotation of nozzles.

If you want to create a custom pressure profile that can be applied to a previously drawn stroke, you can design it and apply it from the Stroke panel. This can be optionally saved as is, or modified before saving.
