This is one of the best Affinity tutorials I've seen, it's even a great overview for the Affinity Designer tools in general, some of which I haven't heard anyone else talk about. This was so nice to follow and to understand, I definitely learned a lot!

Thank you for treating your session more like a tutorial, Robert. Because you were so careful to explain your process, this is the best of the new set of creative sessions IMO.

This was by far the best session yet. Very thorough and easy to understand for people who are still learning the program. After watching this, I feel like making art on this platform is much more approachable.

What a fun, enjoyable and informative tutorial. Thank you Mr Robert and thank you Affinity team!

I've watched this tutorial probably 3 times now. It is absolutely fantastic and the small tips and edge cases that you demonstrate are what I keep coming back for (because my memory sucks). This is the kind of stuff I really dig.. I'm loving the work flow man. Thank you for dropping knowledge on us!

One of the best teaching videos on the subject. Thanks for all the great tips

Thanks for the video. Love to see the workflows and workshop techniques of seasoned artists.

Really love it, from the beginning to the end. Thank you very much!

Ok, that tip on using masks to hide overlap absolutely blew my mind. This is such a phenomenal video, thank you so much!!

Filled with supersaturated tips and techniques! And the dry humor is appreciated :D. I'm going to have to watch this several times to absorb it all and that's a Good Thing. This is one of the best art tutorials I've ever seen, period -- everything is explained and the Why is explained as much as the How To. Excellent tutorial and would love to see more from this artist.

I’ve drawn about 5 anime characters and I’m starting into the phase of coloring them so I’m really appreciative of your detailed explaining , I feel a lot more confident 🙌🏽 I

Great tutorial; beautiful work! Thank you.

I love seeing good Affinity Designer tutorials for the iPad. We need more. Thank you.

Loved it , as an experienced vector guy.....I have never thought about masking out my vector layer instead of cutting and adjusting the shapes where they intersect....this was a great session

Great tutorial. Much appreciated.

This video opened my mind to the possibilities of art, thank you very much, you have my respect

This is great! Thanks a lot!

I started a new project earlier this year. Almost wrapping up as of this week. Today I found this, lol. Defo going to watch this through in full to see what bad habits I've learned. Thanks for sharing sir :)

Entertaining and great tips. Thank you very much

Wow. Thank you! I am trying to teach myself how to do this stuff... you just saved me I don't even know how many iterations of goonbat wrongheaded trial and error. There's so much information here, but since you provided the files, I can look back at what you did and see exactly how the image is put together. This is a gem of a video and I wholeheartedly thank you for making it! You rock! And I like your ogre.

Excellent! Thanks

thats great i love affinity

Fabulous work, love the process and learnt a few tricks along the way. Now I just need to know how to sketch amazing characters like Mr Ogre.

Una de las mejores sesiones de affinity que he visto (casi por completo), este programa me ha encantado espero poder conseguir en el futuro la V2

Great tutorial

I'm going to try that masking trick the next time I run into a situation instead of cutting and adjusting the line work, because if you cut the line it re-adjusts any width thickness your line has, usually not to your liking. I liked the colouring segment too with the masking workflow for highlights, halftoning and shadows. Good video!

thank you for the great tutorials. i am new user.

Dude thanks so much for your vid.. TO many so called affinity tutorials have not covered what you have in the first 6 minutes...

Please do more tutorials about game character illustrations and creating game sprites and characters using affinity.

Wow! Affinity should incorporate this tutorial into the software somehow. This is a must watch if you are new to affinity designer and vector drawing.

Wow, just five mins in and this has been quite the comprehensive fast flight intro to the basic tools. Will be absorbing the next 40mins. I understand the disclaimer about people already knowing how to do some of these... but as a complete beginner I truly appreciate that you have taken the time to go through some of them like doing vector brushes from scratch and their caveats. At least there’s this video where I can point others to now. Edit: realized there at the end that you have a screen on your desk, do you connect your iPad to it? Or is it just for another computer? Curious if there’s a workflow that takes it into account.

This was my induction to Affiity Designer and definitely the best tutorial going. Clear, informative and with good humour throughout. I've been looking online but can't find a download for the YRB 64 palette. Anyone able to help?

That snickering at his own pun (a head of myself) was just too cute.

Hello, I wonder if we can create art in AD like people does in procreate?

32:20 Can you explain what you're doing specifically to make the nodes carry their weight?

Hi, Robert, thanks for the tutorial! I'll have to try out masks more. I was wondering what you're using to record the ios app. I've been using an el gato game capture device, but it no longer seems to work with AD 1.9 nor does Reflector 4. Any advice? Have a good day, Robert and the Affinity team

cool

33:19 This step where you are make copies of all th layers, then consolidate and label - could you elaborate on this step? You go through it pretty quick but I'd love to know more about what you are copying, what you are grouping and why - thanks!

Great video all around, teaching, delivery, and production quality! Whereabouts can I find the yrb 64 color palette? I would love to use it on my own stuff.

Cancel that, I've just created the color palette that I've found in the How to Color Comics the Marvel Way (from the Marvel Age #13 issue (1983), and also from the KZread video of the same name by Cartoonist Kayfabe) as mentioned in your video. Thanks again for an outstanding vid! I plan on coloring my old school comic stuff with these colors!

@@FosterYourAffinity you're awesome! My previous employer called me back to work 3 weeks ago and I haven't been able to do any Affinity stuff. I'm using the Adobe Suite for work and I really miss Affinity. Hope you are well and thanks for keeping in touch!

best uses of color, RGB for digital & CMYK for print. these days professional printers can print whatever.

the one thing I notice though is that the brush you made ends up having some raster based texture which kinda loses the point of even using designer at this point, might as well make everything with pixels as if there are raster brushes it won't look as good when the image gets resized

Affinity have program for Video?

How to make real ink drawn on paper drawings into vector? With out having to Re-Draw every thing with Wild Behavior Bezier tool.. . Why does Affinity Not have a Trace Feature?

@Affinitybyserif

4 ай бұрын

Hi, currently we do not have an auto-trace feature, so you would have to use the pen / pencil / quickshape tools to recreate your design.

About coloring, wouldn't it be much easier and faster to have a "fill" tool that automatically creates a vector shape to fill a closed or almost closed area? Yes you can't use it everywhere, but there are plenty of places in this drawing where it would have saved a ton of time

Affinity still needs true vector brush capability. :/

really great videos, but since you start operating with colours, im totally lost. i wish you were more saying, what function you are pressing/selecting etc., rather than just talking about... "things". for example i have no idea when im using laso, how to add to the selection.

Way too fast and quite detailed for me as a beginner. Think i will need to replay this about 15 times to understand it. Wish he showed the masking thing in a step by step slower, as I’m still unsure as to how it was done and why. Fantastic what he can do.

Dear affinity In the next update, add tracing image to easy convert to curve

Affinity looks awesome but I will never learn how to use it. Guess not everyone is as smart to learn things. I couldn't even find the plus sign.

Why are all these for ipad, really annoying, what about people with a mac
