Welcome to beginner's Affinity Designer for iPad class. Affinity Designer is a powerful design program that is fantastic for both vector and raster art. It is a good alternative to Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Fresco and Photoshop. It doesn't require any subscription, you acquire it for a single payment. It enables a whole new way of working by allowing you to combine vectors with raster.

In this beginner's course, we will be focusing on getting to know the tool from scratch, so no prior knowledge necessary. This class is suitable for both beginners, as well as for more intermediate artists who wish to transition to Affinity from other programs, and they need some help to get the hang of it. By the end of this class you'll be able to create a simple vector illustration using Affinity Designer.

I have recently uploaded a bonus lesson on the main differences between Affinity version 1 (Affinity Designer 1.0) and Affinity version 2 (Affinity Designer 2.0).

We'll be covering:

  • navigating the interface
  • new documents, vector formats
  • transforming vector objects
  • the Node Tool
  • the Pencil, Pen and Vector Brush Tool
  • stroke and fill
  • useful iPad gestures (that you probably don't know of)

Who is this class for?

  • artists
  • illustrators
  • vector artists
  • graphic designers
  • surface pattern designers
  • content creators
