Thank you so much, I'm glad you find these videos helpful. Cheers

Hi, thank you so much for this beautiful comment :D I decided to do everything on RU-vid and not having any paid courses because I really think education should be free and accessible to everyone. I can sustain myself and keep this channel active thanks to some ads revenue and my patreon page, but other than that, all my videos are and will always be free. If you see some of my videos on SkillShare or similar platforms, that means they were stolen and uploaded by someone else (already happened multiple times :P). I will definitely do more tutorials about Affinity Designer. Cheers

I certainly will let you know, and I will report it a s plagiarism to Skillshare, because your techniques are in high demand, and I will check your patreon page to support you there also! Thank you again for your hard work in bringing these wonderful videos!

Oh, thank you so much, you're too kind 🤗

Thank you so much :D

Thanks for watching :D

Thank you so much for your positive comment, I'm really happy to know my videos are helpful for you. Often I see other users tackling only the cool and advanced parts of a software, forgetting about the basics. Those are the most important. Cheers

An amazing tool indeed

Do tou think the desktop app is needed? Im an illustrator and just got the ipad app. I certainly cannot afford PS subscription.

plus you buy this not rent it for a crazy price

@@hannastocksick7395 i think the app is easier to use on desktop

Thank you so much, more tutorials are coming soon :D

Thank you very much!

Oh wow, thank you so much for this beautiful comment, I'm really glad my accent is not a problem, I'm trying to improve my English at every video. I've been to New York recently and quickly passed through New Jersey, stunning place!

You're very welcome :D

You're very welcome

Thanks for watching :D

Happy to hear that. Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to write some subtitles.

Yeah, for sure. The next video is coming tomorrow, and I will publish a new video of this series pretty much once a week. Cheers

If I understood properly, you could duplicate that line to another layer and only edit what you need and keeping the overlapping part identical. I don't think there's a way to use a line from another layer in a new layer. I might be wrong, tho

Thank you so much for watching, happy to have you a subscriber

It's a glove to protect the tablet from the oil or seat that your skin naturally releases. You can find it on ebay or amazon and the brand is huion.

It's a personal choice, it doesn't really exist a right or wrong approach. I prefer to use the pen only when I don't have to do precise things, or moving vertex around by few pixels. I know designers that use only the pen for everything they do. A matter of habit.

+Techni Smart yes, I think I'll do that right after I completed this character design. Thanks for following

You're very welcome!

Alessandro Castellani request how to make crop marks in Affinity Designer

Pretty great software indeed

Thank you very match

Everyone can learn, talent is a really small part of a good artist. Like everything in life you need practice and constant dedication to improve. I've been drawing since I was 5, I was awful at the beginning but I never stopped. Thank you so much for watching :D

Thank you so much for your comment. I am a logo designer as well, but I usually don't do much freelancing because I'm really busy. Send me an email and we can discuss it, and see if I have some capacity. Cheers

whats your email?

Uh, that's odd. Check if the tool is grouped inside another tool. You could also write a message in the Affinity support forum, they're pretty quick at answering. Thanks for watching

I'm sure this software will grow to include all the missing features

Thanks for the reply. I have used vector tracing tools and they are OK, but making pixel selections to different layers and to save/export. even copy/paste, would be a great feature. One could smooth out the pixel selection as needed. etc to get the desired result in AD composite.

I have been using Corel Painter ( I like to call it the Overly Caffeinated Brush Factory) since early 90's. IMO When Corel bought the program everything changed for the worse. It is still a great program, it depends on what you want to do. I do selections/compositing and have a simple Pen and Watercolor style. AP actually has pretty impressive DAUB WC brushes that meets all my needs. LOVE the liquify persona for cartooning! Here is a short list of annoying Painter goofups: 1) NO WAY TO SHUT OFF THE ANNOYING TOOLTIPS (Since version 11). They constantly cover up things and give redundant info. They **** me off! They do not listen to experienced users and their complaints and requests! AP has a delay for tooltips...awesome! 2) Brush configurations are WAAAY too complicated and overblown. 3) There are a multitude of little quirky things. It seems like programmers get a great idea and then drop it before they add the polish, so to speak, Big Data, no decent resize options, no decent export file function, like PNG (you have to save PNG and reload RIF file) What a PITA! I could go on and on... If someone is a Painter user please comment. Also forget bloated, yet powerful Photoshop with subscriptions...no way! AD and AP are great. I am sure they will add things as people request...like I mentioned above. I do not work for Serif or Corel. Using new Ipad Pro with stylus as a "Wacom" type tablet, configurable inside Desktop AP, would be a great feature (without 3rd party subscription).
