In this advanced video tutorial, I will be emulating a woodcut print effect using just 3 dedicated layers holding one colour each, set to multiply with global colours.
I will show you how to use the pressure curve to achieve the cut lines, create leave shapes, and quickly add variation, how to use the layer blend mode 'Multiply' to show colour and use white shapes and lines as an eraser, and use the layer stacks to hide or show elements below.
Enjoy!

As part of the challenge on the Facebook group Affinity Designer - hands-on I recorded my workflow while creating the design using basic shapes, the corner tool, and clipping masks.
I create the clockmakers store using basic shapes - circles, rectangles, and cogs - with added text elements. Most of the shapes have solid fills [I did cheat a little and used a few gradients] and use shading shapes inside clipping masks for detail and depth.
Reusing, duplicating, and modifying existing elements make it easy to quickly create complex designs.
