Affinity Designer for iPad is a really powerful and versatile app which is hugely popular due to the mix of vector and pixel capabilities, making it ideal for illustration.
This class will take you through many of the features while designing some fun robot characters. I will take you step by step through my process from initial sketches to finished art.
We will cover all sorts of things including:
- gestures
- shapes
- Boolean operations
- the pen tool
- freehand drawing
- groups
- clipping masks
- brush palettes
- gradients
- painting pixels on vectors
- exporting slices
- and lots more!
You will end up with a fun robot in your own style, and a good starting knowledge of how to use the Affinity Designer app, which you can take forward into your own projects.
This class is suitable for everyone from total beginners to experienced designers wanting to explore a new app. No previous experience with Affinity Designer or vectors is needed.
Don’t forget to follow me to be kept up to date with my new classes.
