To be honest, this is blatantly not a masterpiece. I was looking at some "how to draw with MS Paint" tutorials on YouTube and decided to use Affinity to "contest them". Now, here's the use of drawing using curves, duplicates, and the like. Here's my art, and honestly, I feel like it's "juvenile" since I'm just a casual artist.
I have good reasons to ditch Adobe Photoshop, even before I installed it. I was still able to use it without the subscription fee, on an old PC. I was spoiled by too many customized shapes on Adobe Photoshop. However, Affinity Photo actually got me to realize that using Boolean operations can be good. I got the curves I wanted. I was initially hesitant to use Affinity Designer, which I also learned to use. I would like to share my super low beginnings with these art... I remember when I didn't see the frames that Photoshop had. I started to experiment with creating frames using the subtract function. Converting shapes into curves was the beginning of my new casual art. I started drawing these around last year. One can see the evidence of my art at its juvenile state. The reason why I didn't go for Affinity Designer too soon was this--it was because I wanted to crop off unwanted areas for the final product .
