This mini video shows a quick and easy approach when creating fur in Affinity Designer. Using symbols makes it very easy to change the colours and the look of the fur.
In this video, I use clusters of strokes with pressure curves as symbols to quickly create the hair. I use circles to create the main body and the eyes before adding hair. I duplicate, scale, and adjust the symbols to quickly cover the body with fur.
I created a more in-depth video on fur with tapered strokes prior [youtu.be/tOQsHhfoUP8] and there will be another quick follow-up video on using texture brushes to create fur [youtu.be/EN4CuCyT-jM].
Enjoy!

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.
