THANK YOU! this was the best video on how to use the pen tool!!

[aramis]

"Like" confirmed, just saw the video! The part where you add a path to an existing one solved a problem for me!😎

I use this method quite a lot - I find it easier if I have a high dpi value for my image.

Ha, well I didn't even know about the stock tab, so thanks!

I'm using my pen / Tablet and being constant, starting with pen mode set to smart curves, not pen. Having the node tool on my bottom button is incredibly convenient that and the escape key are usually all i need.

It will be faster and more precise if you click and draw to make the curves as you go. One any software.

I can't watch now but I put a Like on trust!😎👌🏻

[momofmany]

I think you made this for me. 😊 But, why would you use the pen tool instead of the selection brush?

As much as I want to keep using Affinity, their software is nowhere near as good as Adobe, knowing that they should've learned from their strengths and weaknesses, still their program kind of sucks imo. Even the most simple task in that can be done with Adobe is utterly complicated in Affinity, and it's frustrating.
