In this video, I try to cover the different options you have in Affinity Designer to mask, trim, crop, and clip. There are the common Clipping Masks and Layer Masks, the lesser known Mask to Below, and Rasterizing a shape to mask. I try to briefly cover the advantages, issues, and limitations of the different types.
More examples can be found in my PDF collection of step-by-step tutorials.

This video tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com continues with the changes and additions to the caveman game character from the previous video.
The video explains how to easily and quickly add more depth and detail to your game character in Inkscape. After working on the head in part1, we polish the separate body parts in this video to create some game-ready assets that look good and work in animation software like Spine, Spriter, or Dragon Bones [to name just a few of the tools available for skeletal based animation for games].
Most of the content covered here can be created with other software tools such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or others with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.
