In this video tutorial, I explain the creation of seamless vector patterns to be used in the Pattern along Path effect in Inkscape. It's the closest I have come to creating a brush stroke effect in my illustrations in Inkscape.
I have recorded a video on how to use them in vector designs prior. The video shows the way I create a simple design [a fishing boat] and use the 'Pattern along path' effect to create the pattern on top.
You can download the Inkscape SVG file with the brush shapes here:

![Affinity Designer Tutorial - Designing a Unicorn dot-to-dot illustration
In this video tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com, I will turn a quick sketch into a dot-to-dot illustration.
This video was requested. I created some similar designs in the past and included them as activity pages in the weekly letters to my granddaughter.
I prepared a quick sketch of a unicorn earlier. In Affinity Designer I use the pen tool to create a rough shape that I can easily edit with the node tool. I use the pressure curve to taper the more detailed line art.
My plans to use a textured brush as well as symbols for the numbers turned out to be mistakes - but that happens [especially while you try and keep the recording going ;) ].
Most of the functionality shown in the video can be created with other software tools such as Adobes Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.

![Affinity Designer Timelapse - Have some Fun with Textured Image Vector Brushes
A short video from 2Dgameartguru.com using gradients and patterns as textured image brushes in Affinity Designer.
This video is a quick creation of a brush pattern and shows the flexibility of the brushes. The brush pattern is based on a tiling gradient [left and right have the same colour] with a white pattern and a shadow shape inside to make it look like a straw. Set to repeat in the brush settings the pattern will be tiled along the path - for some fun effects.
