It promised to fill in all the blanks of the 'missing' drawing guides in the Affinity programs, and more. I did some research, and saw that it didn't work with Affinity programs at first but, upon request, they adapted it to work with the V1 apps.

Personally, I found that to be an absolutely lame workaround, and it really exposed which YouTubers were willing to repeat nonsense just to generate content.)Īnd then I happened to notice someone mention this 'helper utility' called, Lazy Nezumi Pro, in a YouTube video, almost as an aside. (All the videos and tutorials about 'perspective guides' were merely about drawing some lines on a transparent-ish top layer and simply following them with your eye. I did this because I knew I would still want to use those programs for that 'finished look,' and I knew there would likely be at least three years worth of upgrades forthcoming. 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.
