    I ended up buying the Affinity Designer course from Udemy for the computer. It was so good that I wanted to get the one for the iPad, but it's the same drawing (not that I blame you). If it had been a different illustration, I think I would have gone for it. You have to be one of the best online instructors out there! I had used Illustrator and was pretty familiar with that, but was having trouble transferring over to Designer. Now I love it, and can't recommend your Udemy courses enough. Hopefully, I can learn enough skills on how to work with the iPad that I can use most of what I learned for the computer.

    Amazing app!! I have it on the desktop as well, but honestly I’m sort of moving more towards using solely the iPad version just because the pencil makes things more enjoyable than using a mouse all the time. It does get a little annoying sometimes though when I have to try and select a mode multiple times when there a few close to each other, hopefully they can fix this in an update. Question for you Brad, I know how to use masking layers in the draw persona but how do I use masks in the pixel persona ? Thanks.

    I found Affinity Designer a bit overwhelming at the beginning. Affinity Photo made me love it 😊. A pro tip: there’s no need to download extra apps to uncompress zip files on iOS 12. Just open the zip preview of a file and save it back into files. You’re welcome. Steps with screenshots and some shameless self-promotion: peterpoliwoda.me/tutorial-how-to-unzip-files-on-ios-without-extra-apps/

    Hey Brad! I’ve been considering buying affinity designer for ipad and start learning vector design with it! Since I have just got the hang of how to use procreate, I think I will need your udemy course for vector design! 😄 I’ve read a lot that for professional designing you will have to vector your art work in the end so it is more compatible and resizeable! But the thing I worry about with Affinity designer is, that even if I can make vector designs in there, I wont be able to export those into .ai files! Is that a big problem for you when working with the app as a professional designer? Or do you get by with exporting your art work to psd, pdf or svg files? I am thinking to make illustrating a (part time-) job for me and if most clients end up demanding adobe files as an end result, I wouldnt see the point in learning to work with affinity designer at first. Do you know what I mean? 😅

    Affinity designer and Procreate are killer! I got one of your Udemy courses for Procreate, and might get the one for Affinity. Edit: I remember a comment on one of your videos asking if you could make the “Brad’s Brushes” Brushpack available for the public. I actually would like this to happen. Edit 2: This app will take a while to get used to.

    If you want a great app for files & documents overall which also is able to unzip, check out „Documents“ by Readdle! You can even download files from the integrated browser, organize files, connect cloud services, unzip files, and much more! With the additional app PDF Expert, you can mark up PDFs right from there as well.

    I'm not Brad, but it does work! The Apple pencil works on both, though there is more parallax on the 6th gen iPad than the iPad Pro. It's not nearly as powerful, so you run out of layers in procreate often, etc. If you can spring it, go for the pro. it does make a significant difference. If you cant, you certainly can still make art.

    9. Here you are actually using a CLIP. There is a mask function with black and white being the colors to show and hide as we’re all used to. But when you are using a top level shape to “mask” the shapes inside it, Affinity refers to this as a clip.
