Amazing video! The width tool is such a powerful tool that I use a lot. Thanks for the tip to center the line at 1:22 , I didn't know this. Nice to learn from each other as designers. Keep up the great work. 😎

Do you have this tutorial for Affinity designer?

@DesignMadeSimple Год назад

It's not possible with AD unfortunately. The workaround would be to create custom brushes.

I was about to ask the same thing. 😅

Sorry Nick, I have to disagree with you, even though I really appreciate your work and don't know half as much about vector design as you do. I just tried it, it is very easy to do in Affinity Designer. You start with a circle, no fill, just stroke obviously. Convert to curves, use the pressure adjustment to make the variable width planet stroke, duplicate to make the orbit. Expand appearance and then it's literally the same workflow with the Affinity shape builder tool as with the Illustrator shape builder.

@@sigibischof That's a good workaround, although not a complete replacement for the width tool. Thanks for sharing!
