[@envatotuts]

We just published our new Affinity Designer for Beginners | FREE COURSE, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaW7YaafoqaajM0

[@spectacular2402]

I'm looking to get away from Adobe's chokehold and your examples of what Affinity Designer and Inkscape can do quite literally blew my mind. Using their features in tandem seems like the ultimate vector experience.

[@FahimalIslam]

Inkscape is a great piece of software. I just love it.

[@amitashi]

Absolutely great review. I used Illustrator, then Affinity Designer and now you inspired me to try Inkskape!

[@thruthelookinglass69]

Best teacher ever on the internet !!!!! Love Love LOve your Tutorials Thank you a million times

[@drutgat2]

Many, many thanks for this. I think that you are the best teacher of anything that I have ever heard. Your explanations are beautiful in themselves, and it is a pleasure to experience you describing things, never mind the content (well, the content is important).

[@wishmaster3000]

Absolutely love the video! It's great to see there are different options available, even for free (also don't mind paying for software). Thanks for sharing

[@ronnieljavier599]

Affinity designer is my vote. Hands down

[@linuxier1986]

Thanks for the wonderful Video, well presented.

[@theblackwaters9079]

What is the best free program?

[@forcifyst1ng633]

Which version of Inkscape are you using?

[@Battersea-kd9to]

I'm a beginner.. .not a professional and want to learn for a hobby, not for a job. Which is better for me? Affinity or Inkscape? I just want to make basic vector images that will be used in animation, powerpoints, etc.

[@envatotuts]

I think Affinity Designer would be great for you. For me, Inkscape is more difficult to use, but is free.

[@EasyrangolidesignsRangoli365]

Sir, Inkscape works in ipad ??? With apple pencil ?

[@nitareed4088]

great...thank you...subscribed

[@kunalganguly7179]

Can I use it offline ....or its need internet connection??

[@saidul02]

affinity surprisingly good.

[@thomasburbage5450]

It would have been interesting if you had included what support these apps have for text (converting fonts to vector).

[@ivanguerra1260]

Hey Kezz, Is that you ? !! OMG, you haven´t change since we were in school, you look exactlly the same !!

[@adri.progression]

wow! Thank you so much!

[@johannes914]

Corel Draw ?

[@hayleyroong6788]

can inkscape be used to make stickers like illustrator does?

[@BeatNationJatin]

Yes visit logos by nick KZbin channel for complete details regarding INKSCAPE

[@tiwosatriatama]

As its tagline "draw freely"

[@sl5154]

Inkscape is by far the best.

[@atikasifbondhon5168]

I am curious about why you didn't even bother mentioning Corel Draw!? Hope you will answer. Thanks.

[@abdullahsalimahir5023]

basically inkscape is one of the best softwares after adobe and it's FREE!!!

[@ichaa3tech]

It will be better in the future

[@tiwosatriatama]

And open source

[@abizziegirl]

What version of Inkscape are you using here? I am on the latest but yours looks more 'advanced'. I'm on 0.92.4.

[@russsullivan4234]

It's the same as yours, but she's using a different theme. I'm not sure what theme she's using, but I'm using Dark-Theme-92 from logosbynick.com

[@KezzBracey]

It's actually both of those things. In the video I'm using an alpha of version 1.0 so everything I covered stays relevant longer. I'm also using the software on Linux, where it's much much easier to apply a theme of your choice. Here I'm using the default dark GTK theme that comes with the system. Btw I also find Inkscape runs faster and smoother on Linux than on Windows.

[@sportwolf376]

thank you

[@envatotuts]

You're welcome

[@shahmi98]

Affinity has 50% discount right now, should i go for it?? Aaah can't decide

So, if Inkscape is such a great alternative to Illustrator, why haven't you made an Inkskape tutorial in over 5 years on this channel?

[@hamishmaclean1629]

I think affinity is the only design app on iOS with artboards.

[@TiffanyRock]

Damn I was so excited to get affinity only to realize it’s 50 whole dollars

[@godnyx117]

@Doris Latimore Johnson Even 50$ don't worthy it compare to the TOTALLY free Inkscape! Unless you are a professional and you really need Affinity Designer!

[@APOLOnl]

Inkscape sucks affinity rocks for only 50 bucks!

[@omidr.g7409]

Honestly , the only reason Illustrator is still a thing is the Blend tool ... Other than that, it's worse than all the other alternatives in every way !

[@SuperElbadri]

CORELDRAW !

[@technoiswatchingyou]

Hi. Folks, could someone tell me please is this programs has Blend Tool feature alternative for Adobe Illustrator?

[@billps34]

Inkscape has an "Interpolate" extension built in - it's similar to Illustrator's blend.

[@karlamichelle4946]

you forgot about coreldraw

[@bam2502]

I dont like the logo of the affinity designer

[@dimitris_official]

affinity designer is literally better than illustrator these days

[@dijuchoudhury]

Affinity is not free

[@khaliyah191]

Diju Choudhury She never said it was free (5:07)

[@daddy3d1972]

Been using Affinity Designer for several months. Easy to learn. However many of my designs are for T Shirts and Affinity has HORRIBLE text tools. You can do basic text stuff but it has no special text effects like Bulge or Perspective warping. This is very limiting if you use it for Graphic design. These features have been requested for some time but it appears Affinity has no desire to add them.

[@kelvinrandolph4466]

Thanks for the comment, it's helpful to me. So, what have you decided to use?

[@LearningSimplified]

Useful information to share with...thanks sir!!
