Wow, okay. All of the shading and stuff on this is amazing. It's mindblowing watching you work. I would love a more in depth tutorial on the shading if you have time for it.
I am glad you enjoyed it! It's a repeat of the Inkscape video - but it makes it easier for viewers to translate the workflow to 'their tool' - even if the concept is the same.
I use Affinity Designer as my primary tool and Inkscape as the 'wingman' for special tasks and features missing in Serif's suite. The main reason is the UI/UX - it suits my workflow a lot better than the sometime odd Inkscape approach. I love clipping masks in Affinity Designer and use them all the time. It's just that little bit harder in Inkscape. Stability is another reason. I recorded this video without a single glitch or hick-up [while the Inkscape version crashed twice while recording]. When time is of the essence, you want a reliable tool.
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. :) Could you please advise: Is it worth it to buy Affinity Designer? How does it compare to Inkscape? (I'm not an artist. Just trying to make some art for my shitty game) Thanks a lot
At the special price [50% off at the moment] it's an absolute steal. I made a lot of game art in CorelDraw over the years but switched completely to Affinity Designer 6+ years ago and am not looking back. The biggest advantages to me are the stability [hardly ever a crash even with 18k + objects in massive level progression scenes] and the smoother UI/UX. The filter effects, adjustment layers for easy colour shifts, the very handy symbols, assets as a panel for easy drag and drop of frequently used elements, and the export persona for comfortable batch export [now also available in Inkscape] are nice icing on the cake. If you can afford it, I would suggest getting it. If you are unsure, try the 30day trial [but I am not sure how long the discount will last - but it happens at least once a year ;) ]. Enjoy!
