How to create CUSTOM BRUSHES and use them creatively with Affinity Photo

In this video, we will have a look at creating brushes using Affinity Photo. During the video i will explain the major differences between an image brush and an intensity brush.

Creating a brush is nice to know, but we also need to use them somehow. I'll demonstrate one easy usage of custom brushes, which creates very interesting results.

Thanks G. Awesome as always. I find your instruction in this video is at a slightly more relaxed pace. That works well for me. I don't know how I missed this one a year ago, I've been a subscriber and watching your videos for longer than that. Glad I found it though. Very creative.

Wow this is amazing! Thanks for this tutorial.

That was a lot of fun. You did custom brushes and masks in one tutorial.

I found yours by accident. I will stay longer. I watched two of your videos and I think you translate best on youtube. Your voice reminds me of that from elementary school when the English-speaking lady played British conversations on the radio: D you have a very good diction!

will you also record iPad tutorials?

This is so cool, but i am having some trouble. I think i have an updated version and settings/buttons are slightly different, plus i'm pretty new to Affinity. Any way you could help?

Strange, but when one makes a selection from a mask, and then chooses the "New Brush From Selection" command, one gets the equivalent of an Intensity Brush, but the default label for the new brush is "Image Brush".

This tutorial reminds me of one the pet peeves I have with the Affinity software: whenever one create a new item of any kind (brush, category, channel, etc.) it's always a two step process (i.e., create the item, then go back and rename the item).

I wish Serif would change this UX so that any command to create a new item would automatically throw up a dialog box that enables the user to create the new item and name it in one fluid motion.

Very entertaining tutorial, as always! And every time I learn something new - sometimes just "between the lines" ... Great work. This is how tutorials should be.

It's a really nice video. It would have been seven better if you had spent all that time you were talking about the wrong way to do it on talking about the correct way in far more detail. The actual, important steps for creating an "intensity brush" only makes up about 1% of the video. The rest is about "how to do it wrong" and "cool things to do with a mask." Not exactly what you stated in the title of the video.
