![]() When you first open Affinity Designer iPad, you will want to change some preferences. Affinity Designer iPad Settings for Sewing You can access iCloud documents directly from Affinity Designer. If you store patterns in iCloud, you do not need to download another app. Make sure to download the Google Drive app or Dropbox. To be able to access your patterns, you will need to have them accessible on your iPad. I store all of my pattern files in Google Drive. This will help the iPad not turn off while you are projecting a pattern. You can change this setting to 15 minutes or “never”. On the iPad go to Settings>Display and Brightness>Auto-lock Changing the sleep timer/auto lock will help you enjoy the experience of projecting from an iPad better. I also added a Motion Blur filter to the ‘Bright Light Reflection layer’ I created around him.While using Affinity Designer iPad for sewing, you don’t want your tablet to keep going to sleep while working. I then added a Mask Layer to hide most of the blur with the Paint Brush Tool and kept just a little bit of it on his left side around the rugby ball, leg, arm and head. To illustrate movement on Jason, I then duplicated his layer, rasterised it, and added a Motion Blur filter. To add movement to all those new elements, I applied a Motion Blur filter and then angled the blur in a particular direction to make it seem like they are flying off Jason. Then once again, using my fine art skills I drew smaller pieces of debris with the Paint Brush Tool. I duplicated two pieces of concrete from the debris pile in front of him, and then shaped them into smaller pieces by erasing from the edges using a Mask Layer. Jason is a very powerful athlete so to illustrate the power of his movement I added debris around him. Our composition is taking shape, but we need to remember that this is a sports piece and it is great to reflect the movement of sport and the athlete in the artwork. In the foreground is the main man Jason and then in front of him is a close up of some rubble. I love showing depth and perspective in my compositions and to achieve this I set up my background to include a sky, far buildings and near buildings. Step 3: CroppingĪt this stage, you want to bring most of your photographic elements into Affinity Photo and place them on the canvas. ![]() Once you have your shortlist, it helps to do a rough sketch of your scene to plan where your images will go. Look for as many photos as possible to contribute to your composition because that is what makes your environment look unique. There is so much quality and variety on these sites, you are almost guaranteed to find the photos you need. These are, and which are accessible from Affinity Photo’s Stock panel. I have three free stock photo websites that I like to use when looking for stock photography for my compositions. ![]() Step 2: Finding photos for your compositionĪlongside the licensed image of Jason Taumalolo, I will be using stock images to build up the rest of the composition. I am making my own rules and I want it to look unique. When planning scenes like this one I love that I am creating a fictional environment that does not exist. So for my concept, I have come up with the idea of him wrecking through a downtown scene after breaking through the stadium. Whenever Jason goes on one of his big runs and breaks the defensive line he leaves a trail of carnage in his wake. He is dynamic and powerful so I want the artwork I create to reflect that. In this case, it is Jason Taumalolo who is one of the best Rugby League players in the world. When I create my artwork, I like to get a solid understanding of the athlete I am working with. ![]() Please turn on JavaScript to view this video A time-lapse video of Tinashe’s process Step 1: Coming up with a concept ![]()
