Turnip Man - Basic Colours and Lightning in Affinity Designer 

Turnip Man and Alessandro saved my life - simple as that!!

THE LEGEND OF TURNIP MAN CONTINUES 😂😆

Thank you for taking the time to do these informative tutorials not being an artist is helping a lot again keep them coming

Thank you for this series. It is very helpful!

Absolutely amazing tutorial videos. I've learned more from watching one of your videos than I have watching dozens others. As someone who is just getting into digital art, I thank you very much!

Your videos are so good! I’m a complete beginner and already feel like I’ve learnt so much from you. Thank you :)

This, and the other turnip-man video, was great! It's easy to follow and understand and great for beginner-affinity/photoshop -users who want to turn their real-life drawings into digital characters. Can't wait for the next steps!!

Thank you for your video, I just bought AD and really enjoyed the information you provided!

I've been looking for this tutorial for weeks now and I'm so pleased I found you! Keep up the great work, it makes me love Affinity once again! Oh a big thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's much appreciated believe me.

A complete beginner - thank you soooo much. Really helpful and excellent teaching.

i just got AD and i really love your videos, please keep doing these

You really help me out. It's amazing.

I've been using AD for a few months but kinda winging it with some basic Illustrator skills. Great to see how it's legitimately done. Much appreciated

This video is still amazing!

Hello! I recently got AD and I just wanted to say that I love your videos and the way you explain what you do. Keep up the great work!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT TUTORIAL!!! Great teacher !

I just got Affinity Designer and your videos are excellent tutorials. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! (Also the Pikachu in the background is fantastic haha)

Just wanted to say thank you for publishing these tutorials, it really helps someone new understand all of the possibilities for using Affinity Designer. I'm just getting into making vectors and these tutorials have tremendously diminished the learning curve.

Grazie mille per le tue spiegazioni, i tuoi video mi stanno aiutando tantissimo, il workflow è davvero oro!

these are so helpful, please keep it up!

Felicidades, buen trabajo.

The advantage of using the blending mode for the gradients is that you can change the colour of the complete body and it will change on the arms/legs etc.

i´m making my turnip man following your tutorial. your tutorials are amazing and i can understand your english very well. In my Affinity Designer i can´t add a gradient from the selection to the default Gradients Folder as you did. I had to add a new palet for that document and add my owns gradients there. perhaps it´s because my OS is Windows, i don´t know really. you are a very good teacher, it´s interesting and relaxing listening to you... sweet voice and sweet tone.

HI !!!!! NEW TO AFFINITY AND STILL IN COLLEGE , THANKS FOR THE GUIDE MAN

THANKS! Just bought Affinity Design after having a really old copy of Adobe Illustrator not work anymore on Apple's new OS. It's a little scary to re-learn this stuff but your videos are definitely helping me muddle through it and learn new techniques. :)

Amazing tutorial. I really like how you actualy give us knowledge about layers and project structure. A lot of things I needed to learn on my own skin, experimenting and never could find a good tutorial explaining it. And I am not telling only about AD but all software in general. If you mess up your structure sooner or later(probably sooner, I mean if your'e lucky :D) you will have a reaally bad time. One thing I still find difficult with this approach is fast recolor of whole image. You still need to find all the color curves hidden in your layers and let's be honest this is a really simple vector. What would happen if you would like add things like clothes that overlap few layers, shadows, lights etc. I hope you have some answers to those problems too because I can't wait for another one of your tutorials! Also If you have too much time on your hands I would really need a mentor like you(simple fast talk or checking out art or two with tips on what I can work a little more would be great :))! Teach me senpai(or something like that)! :P

Very nice tutorial. One thing you might want to consider is the order of your layers... example right arm should be top layer... left leg should be last layer. That will help your work flow. I see that you reordered the layers later in this tutorial. Good. Nice work.

WOW I can't fand an other word then WOW ... Thats so amazing... You can explain so good and so fast ... Thats only amazing..

good job, thanks!

I like how your accent completely disappears at 7:23 for like 3 seconds and then comes back Nice video!

You're Great!

AWESOME!

Have you tried to copy and paste the gradient you used in the body to the legs? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks man, I'm amazed how hidden this information seems to be sometimes!

Ive cut out the logo i wanted but hot do i drag the logo itself? instead of just the outline? Awesome teaching brother. keep it up.

Thanks Alessandro, for this perfect educational presentation. I want characters in PowerPoint, is this possible with Affinty Designer?

Hey ty for this Video I really liked it but can you explain me how you can fill the turnip man with colour without razterizing it? because i tried to fill my Shape with colour but found out that I have to razterize it before I can fill it with colour. But I did not see you razterizing your shapes one? Because the problem with razterizing my shape is that I cannot change the shape anymore.

nice video :)

the first joke was definitely a sign of to much time spent in front of the screen XD
