Hello designers! Welcome to Another Affinity Designer Tutorial. In this video, we will be exploring Anime style design. First we will get an appropriate image from within the stock tab. Similar to some of the cartoons and comics you might see coming out of Japan. Then work through tracing and re-creating it in vector, we will then customise it. If you are a beginner you can follow along with me, I will provide all the shortcuts you need. I talk through all of the steps you need to do exactly what I am doing. So you can learn at a steady pace and become proficient in using the tools of Affinity Designer. As always I include tips and tricks throughout. NOTE: I'm Using a MAC, so any shortcuts I mention may be different for WINDOWS USERS. See the below for the WINDOWS: - Mac Command key = Windows Ctrl key - Mac Shift key = Windows Shift key - Mac Alt key = Windows Alt key - Mac Ctrl key = Windows Right Mouse button If you have any questions or want to show me how to do something better, leave a comment, and don't forget to click like and subscribe.

Hello designers and welcome back to another Affinity Designer tutorial. Today we're going to recreate a stock photo using only vectors. I'm going to walk you through the illustration process and break down each part. We will use a variety of tools to achieve our goals, but every tool is part of Affinity Designer so no additional add ons needed. As always i'll be sharing I'll be tips and tricks along the way with shortcuts that can be useful to speed up your design process. We will be using many tools including the pen tool, pencil tool and different shapes to draw and trace around a photo. After that we will use the node tool to fix any mistakes, then start giving our new drawings a colour either solid or gradient using the gradient tool. To finish off we will be clipping shapes inside of shapes and using the effects tab to apply a gaussian blur or the transparency tool to get the right effect.
