Let’s dive back into Affinity after my maternity leave with a few “assets for encouragement” :) Today I’m releasing a small set of underwater-themed assets for my paid Substack members. I’ve been dabbing into more realistic non-fiction illustrations mixed with graphic decorative elements and textures - perhaps this will inspire you too to expand your portfolio?

The Art of Growth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

What’s included in the asset set?

  • 4 hand-drawn fish, all vector based and with vector-based textures inside the shapes, for your own exploration

  • bubbles and waves for fast copy paste into your illustration

Thank you so much for supporting me and my blog publication! Ready to download? :)

PS: these also work for Affinity V3 on my desktop!

How to import the assets into Affinity

  1. Open Affinity - I am currently on the iPad V2

  2. Navigate to the Assets Studio - right-side menu on the iPad. For the desktop you need to activate the Assets view from the Window > Assets area.

  3. Click on the hamburger menu in the top right of the panel and choose Import Assets. Those need to be saved somewhere first, either in a file on your iPad/computer, or to your cloud storage.

  4. They will magically appear in your assets library!
