Hey, thanks so much! I haven't got one in the works just yet (stuck in a bit of a rut), but I'll probably get around to it eventually. Really glad you liked this ture though, so thanks for watching :)

Thanks! It's a one time payment. When a new version comes out, you can usually pay a small fee to upgrade, but only if you want those new features. Basically, buy it once and it's yours!

@@RSKT_art wow thats awesome. Thank you for your valuable reply.you are so talented. Iam just beginner.can you suggest a version for me.?

​@@adarshma345I would go the latest version, and go with the pro version. Debut is just too limiting and you'll find yourself wanting to upgrade right away

Haha, love the Zoia so much. I really want the euroburo someday

No worries!

Thanks so much! Always glad to hear I've inspired someone. Animating is tonnes of fun, you should give it a go! :)

@@RSKT_art I'm definitely going to give it an honest try. I'd love to create stories for kids.

Haha thanks man, glad to have you here! Love me some Violent Soho!

I'm also a Moho dabbler and have been testing Affinity Designer. That first video convinced me that the combination of those programs is not the best idea. This one showed that Moho's own drawing tools are adequate. I like the pen tool in Designer, it has better control than Moho's, but hiding parts of lines and varying line width is so much easier in Moho. Even for still cartoons, Moho is a good option. I was able to duplicate Victor Paredes' dinosaur that looked hand-drawn, this Mantis is a bit over my head with all the controls, but it's explained really well. I don't know anything about violent Soho either, maybe that's the price of being an old American who lives in Germany.

To some extent. If you were to design the character with its outline and colour on separate characters, then it should work pretty much the same. However, if you're just exporting them as images, it might behave a little different. I think drawing inside of Moho offers up a lot more creative freedom. It just takes some getting used to.

Thanks so much! Yeah, styles are a tricky thing to wrap your head around, but once you understand it properly it can drastically speed up your workflow. It allows you to make changes to strokes, fills, and other things with just the click or two of a button. I'd highly recommend reading through the manual and experimenting with a practice file to help get the hang of it.

Hey! So my workflow is basically draft > line work > clipping masks > shading > shadows > highlights > colour correction. You can see this process in a few of my other videos where I do larger pieces. If you want a more in depth look to this illustration, check one of my webinars I made for Affinity's official channel. I do a larger piece while also breaking down a smaller piece at the same time. It's basically the same as this video but way more in depth. Hope that helps :)

Glad it was helpful!

I definately am! I'm using a crappy old graphics tablet in this video. In some of Moy other videos I'm using an ipad pro. If you look through my other videos though, I actually have one that shows you how to illustrate like this with just a mouse and keyboard (which I actually do a lot). Affinity has some really cool stabilising features that make it really simple to illustrate using just a mouse. Definately check it out :)

@@RSKT_art Thanks for the info! I had no idea that there was such a thing as a drawing tablet! I'm 72 and live alone. I have no family and no one to tell me this stuff! LOL. I think your videos are great. Please keep doing what you're doing.

No problem! Being an artist can sometimes be a lonely venture. Happy to help :)

Yeah the clipping masks can be a bit strange sometimes. You basically want to make sure the clipping mask layer is selected, and when you go to draw on it, you need to draw inside of it. It doesn't always work though so sometimes you just click anywhere to create a pixel layer, and then drag it inside of the clipping mask layer so it's nested inside of it. Hopefully that helps :)

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

About a week, on and off. It's hard to put a number on it, but if I add up all the hours maybe a day or day and a half?

Cheers ​@@RSKT_art

I just used a mouse for this 😊

Wow, thanks! Glad to hear you stuck around and watched it! Hoping to make some more soon :)

I used Adobe animate for a long time. My personal experience is even after all the updates, it's a program that just scratches the surface of a lot of great tools without giving you more advanced features. That said, it's still a great and fun program. Personally, I find Moho's bone tools and drawing tools are 100x more fleshed out than Animate. I'd reccomend getting a trail of each one to see what works best for you though.

You're very welcome!

Hey, so it should mask out properly when you draw on the canvas, but sometimes this issue happens for. me too. If it does, drag your new pixel layer onto the vector layer in the layers panel. You want to make sure the pixel layer is nested inside of the vector one. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching :)

@RSKT_art cheers mate.

No problem at all! Glad you found it useful :)

Yea the other moho tutorials are so bad haha

So sorry for the late reply! I'm super stoked to hear you found this useful. I really need to jump back into Moho sometime soon and explore it even more. There's definitely a lot to cover still, as I didn't even explore flexi binding in this video. Either way, I'm really glad this one helped people out. Cheers for watching! :)

Hey, so there isn't really much out there that's Affinity Photo specific. That said, you could basically watch any Photoshop tutorial and it should trabslate over as a lot of the tools are the same.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I'm not too sure what you mean by this to be honest, so I might not be much help. Did you wind up buying moho?

@@RSKT_art I think I used the sentence with the translator error as it is! Sorry. Maybe I will buy moho soon. Your video was helpful. Thank you!

Thanks a ton!

Glad it was helpful! Blender's definately gesture packed, but fortunately you don't need to use all of it :)

Hi, thanks for watching. I'm not really sure what's going on with your cursor though. Maybe there's a setting in preferences? Wish I could help more. If all else fails, the discord is super quick at answering your questions :)

Thanks so much, and sorry for the late reply. So I actually had been trying to use Blender to do this sort of 2D rigging when the 2D animation UI was implemented. While I think grease pencil is amazing, it couldn't quite do this. Fortunately there is a fantastic TH-camr who's been making a Blender plugin that let's you do smart bones and actions. I haven't looked into it yet, but it looks cool. Either way, as far as Moho goes, I think it's great. I do think the UI could use an overhaul, I wish there was a outliner, and I wish some tools were easier to use. That said, none of this undersell what it is. It's a great tool for both solo Animators and teams to make quality animation! Definately give it a go!

It's pretty great!

Thanks so much! I spent about a week on it (on and off), but I was working most of the time. I guess if I add up the hours it took me a day all up? Probably would have been easier if I roughed it out first.

It definately can! I had issues using it back when I made this though, but it seems to be working now.

Oh I got it now, it matters which tab you're in when you create a new action! 😅

Haha glad you got it sorted! :)

No problem! It seems with everything going one lately that this video is picking up traction again. I agree, there's definately still a few things I'd like to see added still. That said, since Canva now owns Affinity, they're now aiming for more regular updates. Fingers crossed we see more features added soon!

Good question! Make sure you're in the pixel persona when sketching. If you're still having issues with that or the vector line work, try making your document larger. I often find the smaller the resolution of my canvas, the more it corrects the stroke. The larger the resolution, the less it seems to. Hope that helps! :)

No problem!

It definately is! Check out their official TH-cam channel. They have a whole series on getting started, which covers importing PSDs Into Moho

Hoping to do some more in the future :) Glad you enjoyed the video!

It's definately underrated in my opinion too! It really seems to be picking up steam lately, which is great to see!

Haha, oh man. I haven't touched unreal since my second year of Uni. Would if I could, but sadly that's not my skillset. Sorry mate.

Thanks man! I really appreciate it :)

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it!
