Vector inking and colouring in Affinity Designer for iPad with Monez

[@ryanbergz5642]

So basically, I am a person with disabilities, a quadriplegic one because of the accident that happened 10 years ago. I am paralyzed from neck to below my extremities except my hand with limited strength. One thing that sucks is I don’t have a finger function, as in total paralyzed but decided to pursue graphic design with the help of Affinity. I don’t use adobe cc. Then, I decided to buy an iPad with an Apple Pencil. Bought both Affinity designer and photo in my iPad and it’s so frustrating as hell. I started to give up, but then I saw this video, and started doing this awesome tutorial, OMGEEE! It’s so easy to draw using his techniques showed. Thank you so much and Affinity team for these. You guys gave a huge impact to me as an aspiring graphic designer/soon to be illustrator. You guys are the best! 1 thing that I like to have a tool to be added in Affinity designer next update on iOS is the hand tool. Haha that would be a great help to pan my workspace using one point instead of two simultaneously. Love you guys!

Thank you for sharing with us, we're so pleased that Monez techniques work for you! We'd love to see what you create! We'll pass on your feedback to our devs. Thank you

[@monezIllustrator]

Hi Ronniel, I’m speechless and so happy for you! Very happy to know what I shared can be useful. Thank you for watching, and I hope you can share your work soon! 😃😃

Wow. I'm brand new to any design software. Affinity Designer is my first one. Watching this video, I see a master, creating things I didn't know was even possible. I need to go to Bali and sit beside Monez for 6 months.

[@monezIllustrator]

ahaha..thankyou Rob, yes please come, Bali bintar beer are waiting 🍻🌴🌞

[@duffpaddy3996]

Me, 10 times during the video: omg this looks amazing already Monez: keeps adding details

[@monezIllustrator]

we can add more and more detail using this technique, it's so easy 😃, anyway..thanks for watching

@@monezIllustrator did you use apple pencil to draw or a mouse or trackpad? i'm a long time adobe illustrator user, and find it hard to use the pencil for vector drawing. i loved your work and the way you presented your method, good job!

Great techniques! This video only reinforces the need for Affinity to offer a better fill tool option - being able to select all strokes and do a live fill click inside the negative spaces, or be able to add a large fill rectangle behind everything and allow it to divide like Illustrator allows for. It's such a time consuming process to have to basically retrace around each shape you want to add a fill to

Affinity Designer Version 2 now has a Vector Flood Fill tool, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gITbfa2An8Z6lZY&ab_channel=AffinityDesigner

Balinese people are not only highly gifted people creatively, but they are the loveliest people on Earth. Thank you, Monez, for your amazing art and inspiration! I learned a lot here. Greetings from Australia.

thankyou wor your kind words, terimakasih 🙏🏻😃

Reminds me of talavera. This fish would make an awesome sculpture fountain for a pond. This tutorial is very helpful.

[@monezIllustrator]

glad you loved it, thankyou

[@Ralphhy]

I also love that affinity is not limited on the iPad everything that’s available on the desktop version is also available on my iPad.

[@AFWork]

Nice app, nice tutorial... Thanks... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@triisti6255]

I really enjoyed this tutorial. I cannot draw really well & not really good in illustration softwares, but after watching this I'm so excited to learn more and more using Affinity Designer. Thank you so much Monez and Affinity

[@monezIllustrator]

you welcome, and thanks for watching

[@PratikAnand]

I am already an affinity user even before this video but it is so good, I have shown it to multiple ppl , friends and family. Monez’s style is amazing and brings out the best features of this app

[@monezIllustrator]

wow thankyou for your kind words Pratik

[@brunombardi]

Monez has a unique style... God, his illustrations are so amazing! I found Monez jobs on Twitter while were looking some Affinity tweets and since then I'm a huge fan of his works. Thank you Affinity for bring this to us.

[@monezIllustrator]

Wow thankyou for your appreciation. See you on Twitter 😃👋🏻

[@stefanlush6890]

It's awesome seeing someone go through their workflow. It's one to learn how a tool works, it's another to see it in action across an image. Thanks!

[@monezIllustrator]

Thankyou

[@judddredd8617]

Think this is my favourite tutorial so far. What an unusual technique basically using the pen tool for whole illustration. Very talented guy 👍

[@monezIllustrator]

thank you so much, yes the pencil tool is the best tool for illustration

[@hobiceria6919]

Love all the technic, inking, also the illustration. I am the person who has difficulty using brushes for illustration, but with a tutorial like this is really helpful. Feel so amazed, when I know that a file project for learn in description video. Thank you!

[@monezIllustrator]

thankyou for watching, yes this is the best method that makes my workflow really fast on AD

[@madzix74]

Such a great video with useful information on how to navigate AD. I watched a lot of videos before and most of them were not very useful but this is perfect!

[@kazeemawe2168]

Wow! Downloaded Affinity Designer on my iPad Pro 12.9’’ for about two years now when I wanted to design a logo, but now I see more reasons to use it. Love the the inking and painting style. Will learn more form Monez.

[@monezIllustrator]

Thank you for watching, glad to know that my tutorial is useful.

[@ilanpretz]

This Monez Artwork has been very inspiring, especially as he is an ambassador for his culture and traditions that he honors through his exquisite illustrations and murals. This has been the best software tutorial I have ever seen.That means that if you are a true artist with good judgment, Afinity is the right tool to enjoy any colorfull creative process.

[@monezIllustrator]

Thankyou for your kind words. For me, to mix a traditional culture with modern tool is such a joy. With AD designer, design process is much easier and fun 😃

[@wl-art]

This is really nice and soothing to watch. I'm understanding how you go outside the line with the color and clip it inside.

[@monezIllustrator]

YES, cliiping mask made everything soo easy

[@oletrenner]

Very inspiring demonstration, thank you! I'm loving the end result, so much detail, but still balanced and well-rounded. Awesome!

[@MarkAnthonyHenderson]

Wow! this was like a short Master Class is using Affinity Designer. I love this.

[@monezIllustrator]

thnx mark

[@OlivesD]

Thank you, Monez, for both the beautiful art and the tutorial! I was finding the process of learning AD on iPad to be somewhat frustrating since most tutorials only cover basic functions without showing real application, but watching your painting process was both enlightening and inspiring. Since then, I've looked up all your videos. I hope to see more.

[@monezIllustrator]

thankyou Olivia, glad to know that my video are understandable, since my english are very basic. I will update video's on my channel very soon.

[@JoeCarterDesigns]

Really beautiful illustration and great to see the techniques used here!

In response to the person who asked about iPad models during the live chat - Designer will run on a 1st Gen iPad Pro 12.9. You will see improved performance on newer models. Thank you

This was amazing, I am BRAND NEW to Designer, and this was exactly what I’ve been looking for. Artwork with a black outline filled with colors. Every thing else I’ve found wants to pretend the outline isn’t there anymore. Hopefully you’ve made more videos like this. I subscribed and liked the video. 😎😎😎

[@victorteh1]

What Affinity Designer iPad needs is a tool equivalent to Illustrator's 'Live Paint'. That will practically cut down the process time of this video's artwork by half i.e. no more redrawing flat color shapes underneath the line art. Having this feature will convince me to switch 100% to Designer. Now I still have to use a sort of hybrid of both AD and AI.

So exciting to watch you, but I don't quite understand why you use the pencil instead of the vector brush. What settings do you use. Can I use them in AD for Desktop too?

[@Mystic_Dragon_Art]

It allows him to use the sculpting mode on the Pencil Tool which the brush doesn't have. It's the same on the desktop version.

[@monezIllustrator]

I had more control on pencil tool rather than the vector brush. I set the setting on the stroke pressure setting under the sgroke studio
