I wanted to see how Affinity Designer's pixel painting feature set stacked up to Photoshop's with a little experiment. I had created this retro styled Bunny originally in Photoshop and decided to take a crack at it in AD. I was excited with some earlier attempts at painting in AD so I thought a comparison would really reveal it's strengths and/or weaknesses. I have recently shifted from Adobe Illustrator to Affinity Designer. I’ve been using it for a month. It’s a great package overall but there are some very basic things that are lacking in it that I want to highlight here. Please correct me if I’m wrong and give me solutions. No way to execute freeform gradients/gradient meshes.
