Create Your Own Brushes with Affinity Designer

One of the many features in Affinity Designer that makes it such a powerful tool for vector design is having this ability to work with brushes. This is a feature that is mostly utilized in raster environments like Photoshop or GIMP, but that doesn’t mean that brushes don’t have a place in a vector application. In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can make brushes in Affinity Designer based on your own designs and custom shapes. Knowing how to do this will allow you to explore your creativity and come up with interesting, unique designs of your own.
