Affinity launched the Vector Blob Brush in Affinity to give users a more instinctive way to work with vectors while following an idea.

Affinity stemmed from a vision to empower designers to produce high quality content in an effective and affordable way. In 10 years, the Affinity suite of creative products for photo editing, graphic design and page layout has become beloved and renowned for delivering powerful experiences for professional designers.
