If you don't have the time or desire to reproduce the stroke texture with the Pen tool, you will need to vectorize the brush stroke in another vector program, which has an image trace feature. Although it was time-consuming, it did result in some interesting vector shapes, which I saved in the Assets panel. I've tried this a few times on small projects. If you still want to use brush strokes created in Designer in a vector format, you can manually reproduce the stroke's raster texture by drawing with the Pen tool (see screenshot). So, maybe in the future Serif will add this feature. Although, there are many customer requests in the forum for the addition of vector based brushes. Unfortunately at this time, this is the only type of "vector" brush that you can create in Affinity Designer. Of course, the second type of brush defeats the purpose of using vector brushes, as the raster image cannot be scaled without loosing image quality. This "vector" brush takes the raster image and stretches or repeats the image along the vector path created by the vector brush, resulting in only a few anchor points along that single vector path (see screenshot). The other type of brush is based on a raster image. Because the base image used to create the brush is vector, the brush stroke remains in the vector format, containing many vector paths and anchor points (nodes). One type of vector brush is based on a vector shape or image. I was surprised to find that there are really two types of vector brushes. Recently, I tried to create a vector brush based on a vector shape in Affinity Designer. Do you like to create your own custom vector brushes? If so, do you know the difference between a vector and raster based brush.
