In this video tutorial, I create a hairy little monster in Affinity Designer. It's a 'remake' of an earlier tutorial I recorded for Inkscape.

This video explains the creation of hair using strokes with pressure curve adjustments. I use circles to create the main body and the eyes before adding hair. I start with a few variations and group them into clusters. These clusters allow me to quickly duplicate, adjust, and place hair where I want it without having to draw each hair separately.

There will be two quick follow-up videos showing slightly different approaches with textured brushes and global colours [youtube.com/watch?v=EN4CuCyT-jM] as well as symbols [youtu.be/OauYV7hsyFo].

Enjoy!
