So, I know this will not make the developers work any faster. I wrote the makers of Lazy Nezumi Pro, and they tell me that, indeed, their app will not work with any programs that are 'sandboxed,' as the V2 programs are. Here, I had thought I had figured out a way to focus all of my energies on learning only one suite of programs. Unfortunately, while doing said research I found a mention that Lazy Nezumi Pro will not work with programs that are 'sandboxed,' and my heart just sunk.

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.
