- In this video, I'll show you how to take a sketch of your own artwork, and bring it into Affinity Designer on the iPad, and convert it to an SVG for the Cricut. This involves tracing over the sketch, converting to curves, combining the shapes, and exporting as an SVG.

I have searched and all videos are hard to follow you made this so easy to understand. Thanks
Yay!
Thank you so much! You're explanation and instructions are the best I've found...and I've been
looking!
Aww thank you for the kind words!! So glad you like my videos ☺️
Thank you so much for this, I could not work out how to join all my lines together and you have answered the question so clearly!
Yay! I'm so glad!! ☺️
This was a great little tutorial! I’ve used Affinity for quite awhile, but never the brush, so that alone was a great tip. I also want to design my own SVGs for Cricut. When I tried initially, I had pieces of my creation scattered all over the place when I imported to Cricut Access. It took me awhile to figure out what I was doing wrong! I knew about combining shapes (probably not using the right terminology), but I didn’t know about expanding lines. That’s very helpful, too.
I found you by doing a search for Affinity Designer 2 on iPad, so now I need to see what else you have on your channel. Thanks!
Thank you! So glad I was able to help! That's so cool that you're going to create your own SVGs! Let me know if you have any questions along the way 🙂
Thank you very much!
Awesome!!!!! Love the baby teradactyl (sp) 😍
Aw thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing your skills.
You're so welcome!
Fantastic work
Thank you!
Thank you so much this is so easy to follow!
Yay! I'm so glad you like it!
What brush are you using in this? 😍
Extemely helpful! Thank you
Yay! You're welcome!!
@@HeatherCashArt actually watched a few times. Still trying to remember the steps 😅 so I really appreciate this
Thank you!! I was looking all over to do this. To convert masks on layers how would you do that?
I would have to look more into it to get an exact answer, but I'm thinking you'd probably want to convert everything to outlines, and then slice the object with its mask, and delete the parts you don't want. (So kind of like, use the mask shape as a cookie cutter) I'm not sure that makes total sense how I'm explaining it though. I can also maybe do it for a future video!
When I expand to stroke, it changes the width of each stroke. Do I need to adjust some setting so that this doesn’t happen?
Unfortunately Affinity Designer is really bad at expanding the stroke accurately, so it will never look just like how you have it. Illustrator is the only program I've found that does it perfectly :(
You could always save it out as a transparent PNG if you are bringing it into Cricut? OR bring the PNG into illustrator to Auto-trace? Just make sure the image is really big (like resize the actual vector object to be larger) so that you get a nice clean, accurate trace.
How do you rotate the paper? 😊
Is it a palm reduction in this app so you can place your hand over the iPad and don’t accidentally draw with the hand or a finger?
Hi! I love your profile pic 😊 it is a preference that you can turn on! Go to Preferences -> Tools -> Allow Canvas Rotation in All Tools
Hope that helps!
Is this same for laser cut files ?
I'm not sure, unfortunately I don't have a laser cutter, although I'd love one! Do you have a Glowforge??
@@HeatherCashArt no I have a cheaper beamo and it’s brilliant
Couldn’t you just draw in vector in affinity designer ?
That's basically what the tutorial is, but I just like to start with a sketch underneath because for me it's easier to sketch first rather than create the finished product from the beginning. But the whole process after bringing the sketch in is drawing in affinity designer (just using the sketch as a guide). Hope that makes sense!
@@HeatherCashArt I got it. Thanks for the speedy reply.
