Affinity Designer Tutorial - Mushroom guy 

Hey everyone! Make sure to check out my updated rendering tutorial which is way more detailed: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K2j7Hy4N7Oo.html Cheers!

As a newbie to affinity designer, this has been infinitly helpful. Thank you!

Pro tip: When using the Pen Tool, don't just click for your first point if you're going to be making a closed shape. If you do that, you'll end your shape with a weird, janky connection rather than a smooth, seamless curve. Start your shape out by clicking and dragging from your first point so that when you complete your shape, it looks so much cleaner and more professional.

The way you used shading with vectors is an inspiration. I also learned how to approach light and shade - thank you for your excellent tutorial.

One of my favorite tutorials. I come back to it often.

This was amazing, and extremely helpful to figure out how to start using this program. Well done!

Absolutely loved this tutorial!!!!!!! I've just gotten into digital illustrations for fun - this was so awesome!

A very informative and complete tutorial. One of the best I've seen. Danilo is an excellent teacher and has certainly delivered on this one. Thank you for this video and please consider creating more like these.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've done a numer of very simple tutorials, and they were great places to start for someone who has not experience with digital graphics, but this tutorial filled a gap between simplistic and complex, showing/teaching what you're doing. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks. It is amazing how easily you transformed that image. I loved your video, it was clear, easy to understand.

This is the most helpful tutorial I've seen yet for my beginner self! Thanks!

This is great video. It's ideally paced, elaborate and easy to follow! Please keep this up.

Such a good tutorial. I illustrate occasionally (I started out as an illustrator and eventually became more of a designer so don’t draw much anymore) and actually forced myself to learn affinity by doing some illustrating for about a year. I use some of the same techniques ( i sometimes draw in paper. Sometimes use the pixel persona in affinity or sometimes just skip it) a lot of my illustration style uses basic vector shapes instead of drawing a lot so its a little more design oriented. I also often create different artboards but its just as progress in the drawing instead of for each step. I also dont create a version with just the flat colors which makes a lot of sense. It never occurred to me and ive been doing this a long time. Thanks for the tutorial. Some great tips i can use the next time i want to draw some characters.

You are a master with this application. I've been using it for years and learned a bunch of new stuff from your video. The way you do the shading and the blur option is very helpful. Thank you.

Learned so many things! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

Your channel with affinity designer is on a different lvl than other ones. Really amazing illustrations

So many helpful little shortcuts & methodology. Thank you so much for sharing, it'll really help speed up my work flow. 😊

Excellent demo. I'm envious of your skill. Thanks for making and sharing this, it was helpful.

That simple Mushroom guy was not simple for me until I followed along with your video, thank you man

Danilo, you are such an inspiration. I'm new to Designer watching you gives me hope.

Wow, extremely enlightening and informative. I had no idea about the power of “Paste inside”!

Wow! Amazing tutorial! My head hurts thinking about trying to recreate this 😂! As a complete beginner I'm going to have to watch this a good few times before attempting it 😬. Please keep making more videos like this. From my perspective, it would be interesting to see how you might change/add to the process to age this character (or others).

Back here now... I just passed the halfway point... I just started from scratch... almost zero draw skills... your tutorials are thorough... it's advanced my draw skills... can't wait to fully finish this lil mushroom guy... Update just finished it... it turned out awesome. Your tutorial was great. Your drawings are amazing.

Thank you for this great tutorial, I can almost see your channel easily passing 10000 subs in just a few weeks, your art is absolutely beautiful.

Great tutorial. I learned so much! Thank you. And I loved listening to your accent.

Just found this channel and ooh my, fantastic video. I can’t wait for more.

Thank you so much Danilo! I am an absolute beginner and thanks to your video I was not only able to recreate shroom guy, but I have learned so very much in the process and completed a couple on my own ❤

Thank you Danilo for this tutorial! I just moved from illustrator to AD and this helps a lot! keep posting more!

Absolutely amazing. Thank you very much! I am on my way to becoming an illustrator, and this tutorial is one of the most comprehensive out there, and extremely helpful.

Lots of great shading and rendering ideas... especially with the eyes. And I even liked the background music!

Thank you so much for this tutorial Danilo. It was very helpful to see your process. I only saw your comment about the new tutorial now an will definitely check it out.

This is going to change my art for the better. Thanks for the tutorial!

Wow , this is a new way of shading and colouring , thank you so much ....

Great tutorial, Danilo. I love that you didn't speed it up and with the commenting it's very educational. Love to see more of these. :) Thanks for sharing, mate!

Wow! I'm a total newbie so not even sure what you are doing technically, but you showed me what is possible! I picked up some good tips, love the bit about the artboard, that really helped me. Thanks for taking the time to post, much appreciated.

Thanks for this. The shading & highlighting method you used wasn't what I expected, but I also don't know what I expected. I wish there hadn't been any jumps in any of the steps/processes, but this is so much better than most videos I've seen so far. Definitely going to check out the other one you linked to in your pinned comment.

Just bought affinity photo. After seeing your channel, im getting the designer as well. Thanks for these contents.

Probably the best tutorial I have seen, Thank you!

The work flow is very simple but tedious... This tutorial is pretty much exactly what I needed. thanks bud

Just found you. Love this tutorial so much. Love Affinity Designer. Thank you!!!

I went through this to learn more about affinity and vector stuff, and I re-designed the logo of a dude I know from twitter. I'm quite happy with the outcome. Thank you for making this!

My appreciation for designers just increased by 5000%. Amazing Tutorial! :o

Thank you for your generosity; amazing tutorial.

I'm so exciting! My mushroom is dun. All day was studying your tutorial.thank your so much! regards from Saint Petersburg Russia

Really great video.. super clear explanations at a really comfortable pace to follow

Out of the dozens of vector art tutorials, tips and tricks, speedpaints.. This one video has helped me significantly wrap the idea of vector art around my head so I can know a little about what I'm doing

I am learning a lot from your videos. You make the work experience very friendly and with fantastic illustrations. Thanks for sharing, bro!

This was a brilliant tutorial! A pleasure to watch!

Superb!! this is really the best AFD tutorial that I have found on the web so far. Danilo Fiocco you're a master of AFD. Keep up the good wonderful work.

Wow thank You soo much for this tutorial - I'm so glad this video pop-out - the way you did it clear up so much - very very helpful- Thank You Sir 😊

It´s my first time using Affinity and your tutorial helped me a lot ! Thanks!

Thank you for this great tutorial. i really enjoyed and learned a lot.

You are amazing man! Great job! Very talented. This guy deserves a big hand of applause!

for a pretty advance knowledge this tutorial is really well explained. I took Graphic design in adobes Creative Suite. They gave us a book with a computer and said good luck.. ha. i did a stealth jet as my first illustration. I could never accomplish the shadows as well as you did in this tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

This was such a great tutorial, you packed so much into a relatively short video. I was able to reproduce the Mushroom Guy (pretty close), and I have never used Designer or know how to draw. I need to get a lot better with the pen tool, but It was a blast! Thank you so much.

Impressive! Fantastic tutorial. Well done Danilo👏🏻
