Fantastic video, I would love to see more videos on Affinity Designer for ipad 😄.

[@PeggyChai]

Thank you so much for the sharing. I just got the Affinity Designer for iPad yesterday. I'm so glad to find your tutorial. At first I was afraid to look at Affinity Designer. After going through your tutorial, I feel more confident now. You are amazing. 😊

[@marcoscoifman3056]

48 year old designer here, working the curve into new tech after decades in Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign (and recently Procreate) and this blew my mind. Thank you. Got a lot to learn but, hey, I guess I don't need the big display anymore. It's ipad and macbook from now on. Thanks. Loved the straight to the point class, no bullshit. Cheers from Peru.

[@adeeltahirkheli]

very very helpful tutorial. i just downloaded the software and after watching this 27 minutes tutorial i know the basics of the software. thanks alot ❤️😍😍😍

[@candhbrewer1]

This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever viewed. The presentation is well-focused and proceeds logically.

[@phillheimann1864]

I’ve been struggling with Affinity for a few days now, best intro tutorial I’ve seen!

[@ArtandDesign]

Fantastic to hear, I'm glad it was helpful 😃

[@MP-mg7og]

@@ArtandDesign Re apple pencil probs (your description) mine won't connect consistently or battery drain issues. Solution - using an inexpensive generic stylus, no Bluetooth, no problems - click on and start drawing :)

[@heidiwaldmann9815]

Definitely one of the very best tutorials I’ve ever seen! Perfect pacing, perfect amount of information, nothing extraneous. THANK YOU!!

[@JoyavanRheenen]

In all my years on KZbin I think this will be my first time actually commenting. Thank you very much for this super clear tutorial! The way you explain everything is just perfect. I’ll be watching a lot more of your tutorials!

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you very much JoyavanRheenen. That's great to hear! I really appreciate your feedback 😄 Have an awesome day!

[@effindelicious3394]

I was a little overwhelmed and somewhat lost after I downloaded this app because of the many features it has. I needed someone to walk me through as a beginner to get started and this video definitely did that! Thank you so much for making this video and I look forward to seeing more of yours.

[@stephaniewagstaff6563]

I purchased affinity last night without a clue as to how this all works. I have been watching their videos the entire day but haven’t learned what I needed to in order to get started or even know how to start. I would use pages before and cut and paste and got pretty good at it but since loosing the firm we hired due to their inability to be creative on an essence level beyond coding.I have set out to learn enough myself to save money. So much easier said than done. I’m only a few minutes in and your voice is soothing and finally after an entire day Of trying to find a video with basics and beyond I feel I am going to learn how to be someone who can not draw but is a designer be able to figure out a middle ground and hopefully save thousands of dollars.

[@jeng151]

Thank you for this. As a complete beginner to digital art I deeply appreciate the pace of your explanation and even the speed with which you select options. Most tutorials go so fast- they tap around between selections too quickly & utterly lose those of us who are looking at this interface for the first time. This was excellently done.

[@MrFizzygas]

Hi If the speed of delivery is to fast, then as the video starts click the three dots in the top right of the video click playback speed and select a speed that is suitable for you to follow.

[@maxwellukuleles198]

You’re an excellent teacher. I appreciate the way stay on the topic, give examples as you speak, and keep a reasonable pace for we who are new to this. I hope you’ll keep up your good work!

[@m.thiele5012]

This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen for affinity designer. I would like to see more tutorials for this app. I Would be very thankful for this. 🙏

[@addyhongt]

I worked with illustrator but never believe we could have Affinitite having rather user friendly software. Thank for you tuition and get me move fast.

[@Rabababapa]

Love your soothing voice, easily understandable descriptions and perfect pace. Would definitely want to see more affinity designer videos!

[@PochoNieves]

ok so I have to give it to you that this was a well invested half hour. This gets me going since I been dreading to learn it and keep doing illustrator. Now I got a head start. Other videos are just to long to watch in one sit. I needed something to bring me in. This already got me designing again but in my iPad Pro, muahahahahaha!

[@hieroglyphia3018]

This is the best beginners tutorial out there. I would love to see more videos, please

[@JasonMitchellAZ]

There’s an overwhelming amount of options in this app, but you’ve cleared a lot up... thanks for the video!

[@charlestang6998]

Designer’s user interaction is amazing .

[@authenticarkansas]

This video is fantastic. You teach more tricks and tips in less than 30 minutes than a Skillshare course I watched did in 4 videos!

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you very much Lora, I'm glad you find the information helpful 🙏

[@patriciacoveney1]

This was an. Extremely useful overview of the app. As a complete beginner in Vector drawing/designing I would really like to see a simple tutorial as to how you actual guide your pen/pencil using anchor points to create the lines and curves you want. It feels totally alien from drawing freehand and I find the drawing tool has a life of its own and doesn’t do what I want.i would be grateful for an explanation of how to do this. Many thanks for all the tutorials.

[@teaboundturtle]

Thank you so much, most of the other tutorials are very hard to understand (bad mic quality) or just take forever to actually explain anything. This video is very quick to the point and nice, thank you so much!

[@diamenace96]

Great video, I learned more on this video then the 2hr one I watched, straight to the point on features. Looking forward to more

[@thierrycaracalla1139]

Excellent tutorial for a fantastic app. I appreciated it very much and all of your tuto on procreate. Would love to see more in depth on Affinity designer on ipad and more on contextuel control.Good job and very clear !!!

[@tamzsha4776]

Fantastic video. I’m a beginner designer. This is very helpful. I’ll be sharing this with others who are looking to learn. Thank you

[@monalefae]

You are so knowledgeable and your delivery is gentle. It made learning this overwhelming program easy to understand. I can’t thank you enough!!! Also, your accent is great. It helps. 😎❤️

[@Muiterz]

Extremely excellent beginners video! Thanks!!

[@dancer14280]

Such a warm and engaging teacher. Thanks for the help :)

[@luxbook]

Best affinity tutorial I’ve seen yet! You’re a wonderful teacher!

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you very much Kristin 🙏⭐️ really appreciate it

[@witzbold70]

Excellent tutorial. Very much appreciated. Would love to see more in depth on each of the personalities and tools.

[@andregrizzle2287]

Very impressive tutorial! Thanks! I just switched from Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud and learning this has been fun.

[@arukshun2710]

Great video. You are very good at explaining things in a clear and concise manner.

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you very much for your kind feedback 🙌

[@MarisaFotosensible]

Thanks so much, it has been a great starting point for having no experience at all in this sort of resources.

[@severinchristensen295]

I love everything about these videos, and the editing is great. You’re an amazing teacher and my gratitude is through the roof. Thank you for making these. You rock!

[@ykhjpn25]

This affinity designer tutorial video is the best one I ever saw. I do wish I could see more in the future!

[@deademcee]

Hamburger menu is best thing I’ve ever heard. Thank you 😊

[@ArtandDesign]

🍔👀

[@BoxOfChocs]

I bought this app today - was experiencing buyers remorse as I struggled to make it work. Then I saw your video! Now I'm worried that I'm going to spend too much time on it! A couple of great tutorials I've seen for other products involve reproducing an existing graphic - eg. in this case, on the right insert a complicated infographic - then build it from scratch on the left. Subscribed!

[@suevanbuer2774]

Extremely intuitive and pleasantly, succinctly delivered!!

[@hollysobiech2790]

Best tutorial for new folks!!! Thanks. I hope to learn to master affinity designer for ipad through your videos.

[@StaffanBerger]

Very informative and pedagogical! The only problem is that I now want to learn so much more about Affinity Designer, so I have to spend six month on full time with it 😀. Many thanks for doing this! /Staffan, Stockholm, Sweden

[@Samhaindigo]

Wonderful, I hope to see more Affinity Designer uploads from you on anything and everything as you have such a very clear, uncomplicated way/ approach of explaining things that makes learning lovely.

[@andybukreev]

We definitely need a user interface tutorial on affinity designer. Tnx for a great video!

[@thomasvansciver9158]

Appreciate all your videos. I’ve been using Procreate for a long time, but missed vector scaling. Use to have Adobe Illustrator a few years ago and was really excited when I found and purchased Affinity Designer. This app will take time to learn so would really appreciate any additional tutorials demonstrating some of these advanced tools for Vector graphics.

[@ArtandDesign]

Hi Thomas! I'll definitely look into it 👍

[@cacomartin]

thanks for share the first steps! very useful 👌👏👏👏

[@MOLEROJUANLUIS]

Amazing class of A. Designer

[@omardref]

This is a very nice video, it helped me a lot to start using the application. I am a web developer and I think this application will be of great help to me in my projects. I congratulate you and send you a coordinated greeting from Mexico.

[@KerrieRedgate]

This is excellent. Very clear and precise. The multitude of panel options always look so daunting in graphics software, but you have given them clear context via your demo and instructions. Very well put together. Many thanks!!

[@rgarafulicm]

Both the app and the tutorial are amazing. Good job, man.

[@gtothewall]

I would love to see how you use this for UI design. This was a great intro to the app thank you!

[@ifaelite8226]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am transitioning to Affinity on IPad Pro and this was super helpful.

[@jsi4452]

I just happened upon you, and I'm so glad. You explained everything I need to know to use Affinity Designer. I'm new to the Ipad and was struggling so badly because of the screen contrast and smallness of the icons, plus not know where to look for help. You are a godsend and I hope after watching your video a couple more times, I will be able to use Affinity. Thank you soooo much. You are great.

[@DanDanBlvd]

Downloaded the app few minutes ago; wanted to add another dimension to my photography through vector art. This came on top of the recommended videos. I love how thorough the instructions are. :)

[@ArtandDesign]

Thanks for sharing! That's great to hear

[@hArtyTruffle]

Love your videos! I’m going to go look see if you did more of these for Affinity Design. Most helpful 👍🏼 Thankyou 🌻

[@zahana1]

This video is absolutely brilliant! Thank you very much. This has answered many of my questions in a fun and entertaining way. You saved me hours of watching stuff I do not understand. I think this was the best explanation of vector and pixels with examples that I have seen so far.

[@sarasosika8839]

thanks the best tutorial on how to use affinity designer, we want more videos

[@TheChameleon2008]

awesome video and hope you can do more videos in the future where you go in deep into the app designing some awesomeness.

[@MissMaryEmbroidery]

I would love more videos! I would love to learn more about the brushes.

[@fignyc]

Great video! Having you do some interface design sample on your video would be awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Man I learned so much from this video, thank you your voice and manor make you good at what your doing

[@zor5559]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'd be interested in a video on UI design and anything else with Affinity Designer.

[@pattikahlbom6359]

Enjoyed the video. Definitely would like to see more detailed videos.

[@ef439]

Bravo ! i learn so much with your videos , if you can continue with affinity designer it will be great !

[@Jennji76]

Yet again you’ve made a great and well explained video. Like others have said, it would be great to see another series of videos, like your procreate tutorials, for Affinity on the IPad. Your explanations are clear, concise and demonstrated well. Your voice is soothing and relaxing too, which makes for easier verbal processing for me, so thanks. Keep up the great work. 🙂

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you very much Jennifer 🙏that's great to hear 😃 Ill see what I can do about an Affinity Designer series. Thanks for watching and have an awesome day! ⭐️

[@murmur9845]

A great tutorial, yes I would love to see more of your videos, many thanks.

[@neshiah4747]

Excellent video. Clearly presented. Would appreciate more Affinity videos 🙂

[@OmerHawary]

This is very useful and it convinced me to buy this tool to add to my Procreate and Affinity Photo collection. Thanks!

[@shannonmoniquehandbags]

Love your teaching style. Please create more vector videos. I am a handbag pattern maker and designer. I want to trace my hard copy patterns into digital form and also make patterns for handbags and accessories within the Affinity app. Thank you once again.

[@ArtandDesign]

Hi Shannon, thank you very much for your feedback, really appreciate it ⭐️... That's very interesting! Makes total sense. Are you able to use only the iPad to do this currently, or do you also need to upload to a PC to finish things off?

[@shannonmoniquehandbags]

Art and Design currently I use my iPad Pro to take a picture and upload it into the program. However I am need to learn how to make sure the pattern pieces are scaled to size so I can put them in a PDF form and also use my cutting machine to cut some of the pieces out.

[@keri2000]

Really impressive tutorial. Thank you. I wish I had found the app and your video sooner.

[@ArtandDesign]

Thank you ColoradoNailGirl :) Really appreciate your feedback

[@jawiginla]

Thank you for a wonderful insight into a wonderful app and yes I will love to see more videos on the specific capabilities of the app, for example, animations and logos. I look forward to seeing your take

[@V4D2]

Thanks very much for this. I've watched it half a dozen times already.. Hehe It is , by far the best tutorial I've seen, for this level, on KZbin. Congrats! I will watch everything u upload, if you continue with this segment. ;) I've been trying to get into Adobe soft for years..but , for some reason ..never got around to do it. The only one I really use is Lightroom. Recently I bought an iPad and Affinity Photo. I am a photographer and also decided to go back to college to study Architecture. Basically, I need to edit photos, I need to freehand draw on the iPad (I also got Procreate recently as well) , and I need to assemble some nice looking architectural project panels, for school. Today I bought Affinity Publisher for the Mac since I believe it will help me laying out those panels. So...I am undecided about getting this one...as I believe Photo and Publisher would suffice. Would getting Designer just be a bit overkill...or do you think it's got a space within that kind of workflow/use. ?? Cheers from Portugal Many thanks!

[@ArtandDesign]

Hi V4D2! Glad to hear you like the videos 😃 I'm not really familiar with what's needed from software for architectural drawings. I've heard good things about the app called "concept". It has some featues that might be relevant such as measurements, angles and more. I'd say check it out on KZbin before buying though 😄

[@KingsdaughterJo]

Thank you for this beginner tutorial!
