In this basic video tutorial, I work with clipping masks, warp groups, layer effects, and symbols in Affinity Designer to colour Easter Eggs.
I run a Facebook group 'Affinity Designer - hands on' and do weekly challenges for beginners and advanced users. The challenge for this video was "Easter Eggs" - using clipping masks. I try and show ways to use clipping masks and warp groups with a fish eye in v2 to design colourful eggs with ease.
I hope you enjoy this video!

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.
