I know the Pen Tool can be tricky, but at least you get to work with a cute little cat! 🤗

That was super useful Ally - I have yet to fully master the pen tool at times! The Alt to break the curve is something I forget so easily. Thanks Ally. :)

Turns out my main problem with not being able to use the pen tool as flexibly as I need is the fact that I didn't know Rubber Band option should be on, and Snapping's off. Oh and using ALT to break the line and create a sharp point. Thank you SO much for this video!

I had no idea about the versatility of the pen tool. Only watched to find out how to draw whiskers and learned so much more. Great vid. This will save me so much time.

Thanks for a great video! I stumbled upon a shortcut for changing direction with the pen tool. I don't use the Alt/Option key at all. Here's what I do: I draw my first line, either straight or curved. Let go of the mouse button. Click on the square or circle where my first line just ended. From there, if I want a straight line, I move the cursor to the next point, click and release. If I want a curve, I move the cursor to the next point, click and drag. This works for me on Win10 with AD version 2.2.1. I haven't tried this on the Mac yet.

This was fabulous! Thank you! I did it and was able to create a cat very close to yours. Any chance you know how to do the ALT trick to break the line and create a sharp point while working on the ipad?

How many people here think its about time Affinity Designer developed an image to vector tracing function, like illustrator?

Yes, I desperately need this. Adobe has it.

Adobe has had this feature for decades, I'm amazed Affinity doesn't.

Why not use a brush to trace in lieu of the pen tool?

You can use the brush if you prefer that 😊

Yes, PNG 🙂

Is there an Auto-trace Tool? or can you Darken the contrast, Make a magic selection and then color Fill the selection. to retain more of the ink pens natural character?

I wonder how to trace the image without outline. I mean, like template layer in illustrator.

Comments about the lack of Auto-trace in Affinity Designer are coming in 3... 2... 1...

Thanks for your comment! I'm trying to figure out what the best sw is for me and now that you mention it, auto trace would save me so much time over thousands of projects, that this is probably a deal breaker for me where Affinity is concerned

@TheEurostar

There many software dedicate only to autotrace, I don’t see why not having it inside Affinity should be such a deal breaker. A nuisance maybe, but a minor one.
