Select the green watercolor PNG file from the attachment, and then change the settings of the brush strokes to the following:ĭraw a stroke with the brush we've just created, and after that let's try another great option. So you could easily create your own Affinity Designer assets using these three options. In the example below, you can see the difference between these brushes.
New Textured Image Brush allows you to copy the image with the colors of the original PNG file. New Textured Intensity Brush creates a brush with a texture from a PNG file. What's the difference between these brushes? New Solid Brush just creates a simple stroke brush with no textures/colors or images applied to it.

Go to View > Studio > Stroke, open the Pressure tab, and just change the Points of the graph. If you don't have a digital pen, you could easily change the pressure settings manually. You could also adjust the outline of the brush using the sliders at the bottom of the Edit Brush Panel. Let's change the Brush Size to 50, the Size Variance to 100%, and the Opacity Variance to 90%. You could also change the settings of the brush: just Right Click on the brush and then select Edit Brush. So, to create a brushstroke, you should just hit B to activate the Brush tool and create a stroke with any brush you like. 2.
