In this video tutorial, I will create a Mandala/ circular pattern with the new Affinity Designer v2 Shape Builder Tool.
This video shows you how to create intertwined and complex-looking shapes using the Shape Builder Tool. I will be breaking down the patterns into simpler parts. Through the use of symbols, lines, pressure curves and expanded strokes to create the shapes needed for the shape builder. This new tool makes it easy to create the intertwined look of organic [or geometric] patterns.
I hope you like the video and enjoy the new opportunities of the shape builder for your own designs!
[This is an advanced tutorial. It helps to have an understanding of the tools in Affinity Designer and know a bit about symbols, pressure curves, expanding strokes, and applying colours and gradients.]
I uploaded the source files for these two [plus one more and black&white version] to gumroad. Grab them for FREE and check out the way they are put together.
