Affinity Designer Tutorial #04-Vector Brush Tool Video Lecture | Affinity Photo Tutorials: Basics to Expert - Professional Skills

hey guys
ampere bringing you another affinity
designer tutorial and in this tutorial
we're going to be going over the vector
brush tool over here
so when you open up a Finiti designer
and it go over here to the tool panel
and I'm going to come select this little
icon over here that looks like a
paintbrush and by default it is going to
be on brush to vault or none in the
controller now what the controller does
is control how the brush is going to
paint so you can choose something like
velocity and how fast you make your
stroke is going to depend on or is going
to affect what is going to happen with
your stroke and there's even something
like pressure which will allow you to go
like this come over here select this and
make how much pressure you wanted to
have at each at certain points and
there's a bunch of cool things you can
do so you start off with just a basic
brush like this but you can come over
here to the brushes section of your
panel and come down to textured brushes
and there's a bunch of different
textured brushes let's make it a little
bit bigger so you can see some sauces
like different textured brushes
you can choose just about anything one
of my favorite is the images where you
can paint something like a chain you can
paint these uh leaves there's some rope
there's this weird sock thing and
there's even a zipper so these are
really useful if you wanted to make like
some abstract art with real-world
objects like drawing a zipper over
someone's mouth or something a sword it
is just a bunch of different assorted
brushes you can choose like different
thicknesses to your brush you can come
over here to the top panel and choose
the width of your paintbrush to
something like here's 1024 and you can
even tone down the opacity over here
down so it makes it a little more
see-through you can call them to the
stroke panel and edit something
afterwards and then something here's
dotted line and bring you back just
different forms of line and you can even
come to the node tool and edit your line
even further as it adds a bunch of nodes
for you to edited so there's a bunch of
other stuff I'm going to do a whole
different small tutorial on the
individual dashed lines because there's
a lot of information on different forms
of dashed lines but I go up here to
change width of different things this is
basically like the same panel over here
but uh in a nutshell that's what the
line tool is or the paintbrush tool
sorry the vector brush but that's just
what the vector brushes in a nutshell
it's really something like a drawing
tablet it's not very efficient with a
mouse maybe something like a trackpad
would be better it's useful for drawing
certain lines I will go in more in-depth
in something like a shading tutorial
with lines but this is just the sort of
overview of the vector brush tool so
it's something you can use more in
conjunction with different tools which
will be explored more in depth in more
tutorials so if you liked the video
