I figured, I would reserve the Affinity programs for use when I needed a more 'finished look.' Of course, this meant that I would have to learn two very different user interfaces and 'modus operandi.'Īs I have said elsewhere, when the V2 versions of the Affinity programs came out, I immediately 'upgraded,' even though I knew they did not have perspective guides at all. And so, I began working on learning Krita, with the intention to use it for all sketching and painting work. When Krita 5.x came out, I took a look and discovered that they had even better perspective guides than AutoDesk Sketchbook. Even though I really like the Affinity suite of programs, I had been sticking with an old version of AutoDesk Sketchbook for doing my sketches, because it has nice perspective drawing guides, that allow me to A) Import a photo of a room or building, B) Insert perspective guides and align them with the actual lines in the photo, then C) Easily sketch out a project that I want to build, over that photo.īefore V2 came out, I hadn't really been thinking of the Affinity programs as effective tools to do rough sketching.
