This is very instructive. And very creative. More Affinity please.

I love how you talk through the speed art instead of just adding music. Makes it so much more fun to watch! And thanks for covering Affinity Designer. It's my vector program of choice too!

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Thanks! I was worried there would be no point in narrating what's on screen but it seems to help with accessibility :)

[@Pameliux23]

I also LOVE that you explain what you did! Thanks! It is beautiful!

[@amyautumn]

Honestly one of the most grounded and realistic Affinity tutorials out there atm. Lovely video, that helped me quite a bit! :)

[@darrenelkins5923]

This is great
At first I thought it was going to be like most speed drawing videos
And their lack of explanation is frustrating and demoralising
But you explain the process brilliantly
Unknowingly, it was exactly what I was looking for
Thank you very much

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Thanks and you're very welcome! I'm really happy - and relieved haha - that people learn from my explanations :)
It takes extra time to write them so I don't blame other tutorials for not adding them.

[@aplanebagel]

Wow amazing !!!

[@labsquadmedia176]

Arianne- this is the second video of yours I've watched. Your explanation and pacing is spot on! Thanks for the time it took to produce such a clear and helpful video.

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm very particular (and anxious) about my script so I'm glad my narration hits the mark :)

[@zapandilla6521]

Wow I really appreciate the extra explanations of each tool. I’m just starting with affinity designer so I’m still a bit confused about the interface

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Thank you and good luck with learning Designer!

[@Gleamiarts]

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Excelente video. Thank you!!. Please more videos about Affinity Designer, almost in TH-cam, there's not videos about that.

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Will do! Illustrating is pretty much my focus with Designer :)

[@meta0168]

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Gracias!

[@junovhs4646]

very nice. I do miss some of the texture from the original. have you ever tried using photo textures as a replacement for color fills in Designer? Its one of my favorite things about it

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Thank you! I haven't tried that exact effect yet but I have overlaid textures on top of plain colors for a children's book ☺

[@welyntonsouza6493]

I like a lote, but the original drawing in paper are better, you change so many details

[@ArianneCriseyde]

Thanks and I appreciate the feedback! When it comes to my Sketch to Digital videos, I want to take the character designs to different directions.
