A second illustration of the same acrobat, this time in colour. I decided to go back to my original technique of doing colour illustrations, only not in photoshop but in Affinity Photo and on the iPad. I have to admit I have problems with the iPad when drawing. I keep hitting the screen in ways that change the toolI am using or accidentally undo something. In Photo every time I come a brush and clicked on a different layer the brush switched to the eraser which was super frustrating. I have to stop drawing on the couch and move back to my drawing table in the studio. Other than that this went really well. I broke the image into sections and drew it all in greyscale then used a filter to recolour the grey into a basic skin colour, for example. then I could add addition tints with brushes to make it more varied and realistic. I also add leg/chest etc. hair on an upper layer. I might go back to this for other illustrations as it was easier to to have a higher level of detail.

I turned off that pencil feature a long time ago as I, too kept accidentally switching between brush and eraser. Hated it. I think you have to look for the setting IN Settings for the pencil, not the app to get it to stop. Never tried to draw with AP. Amazing that you seem to have taken right to it!
OMG that is the issue! I had turned it off but I bet with updates it turned back on again! I had sort of given up on photo for drawing but the brushes have improved, I keep trying to use Designer which is FOR drawing and not getting a feel for I yet with pixel art.
