You are amazing:)))) I have been watching videos on this program to see if I should get it you convinced me thank you. Hope to get half as good as you. Great teacher!
Thanks for the tutorial! Is there a way to auto generate the rectangles used to cut out of the sun so that you don't have to manually adjust each one? I want the lines to be evenly spaced out and gradually increasing in size but I would imagine there is a feature that would allow this to be done?
Hi Chris, yeah there is a way! It's called power duplicate. Select your rectangle. Press command J (on mac) that will duplicate the shape, now move the rectangle to where you want it, resize or whatever, then press command J again and it will repeat that action.
@@ArtistWright Thanks for the reply! I'm wondering if there is a way to avoid having to manually adjust each section to the size you want. Here is what I'm trying to accomplish in Affinity that I'm able to easily do in Inkscape. Any idea if its possible to do something like that in Affinity?! th-cam.com/video/AMiJpBjPnbg/w-d-xo.html
Amazing Tutorial !!!! Thankyou !!!! Cheers !!!! I messed about with it and somehow got it to work... I wish you were around back when I went to Multimedia school... Your an amazing teacher !!!!
I have learned a lot from your video. Thank you. I am a complete beginner with no design background. I much appreciate that u remember to tell us what you are doing as u build your design. It makes it so much easier to follow. May I make suggestions for you to consider, that wud help me and other new people. 1. Re the mousecarrow, can u put it in a circle of colour so it is more easily tracked. 2. Layers - it is very difficult for me to work out what u r doing and sometimes why. I sort of get it, but confuses me at present. If u r able to help out in any way I would appreciate it very much. Such a relief to find someone who remembers there are new people looking as well as the more experienced. Cheers
Thank you Bernice, I appreciate your kind words. I will note your feedback, I made this video a long time ago and have since made a few changes on some of my newer video, such as showing which keys I'm pressing on screen, and zooming in when things get a bit complex or busy on screen. The arrow curser idea is a good one. Why not take a look at some of my other videos in the mean time. See you on the next video 👍
Went through this last night. Thank you. Love this channel. You explain things really clearly and the end result, whilst not as good as yours, is always great.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You have no idea (maybe you do?) how hard it is to find Affinity Designer working tutorials ... you're a natural. This was both informative and helpful. Much appreciation.
I really appreciate your videos! I went to your website and purchased your brushes and assets pack to give you some support! Thank you very much! I know this is an old video but still fantastic information! I hope you will be making more videos often! Jason
Thanks you for this tutorial! I am fairly new to Affinity Designer (and graphic design in general). This step-by-step tutorial was very easy to follow, with a great pace and lots of great tips and tricks. I’ve subscribed to your channel, and will be watching more of your videos!
great tutorial, except for a few things about perspective and reflections. Reflections are not bound by perspective if the original image is not drawn in perspective. the reflection of the sun and the moon in your image are placed as if they are more shadows than reflections. I'd also create a gradient opacity layer for the "Retro" reflection. other than that, some great tips. thank you
Thank you so much for the quick response I really appreciate that. I tried holding down the alt + subtract button and that did not work but your alt solution using the gradient worked so if anyone else ever have that problem you know exactly what the solution is thank you so much again it was fun, I really enjoyed it
For those of us early on in the learning processes, would be nice if you would describe your settings before starting out, so that we don't spent hours trying to figure out what you're using.
awesome tutorial man!! affinity designer is by far the best design software I have ever used! I can't explain how awesome it is, everytime i use it i get hyped xD
passsacaglia thanks Mate really appreciate it! Literally all because of you. BTW people, this is man who suggested I make something like this. Go check him out!
LIKE and SUBBED! That was SO nice of you to do, I did not expect this much ! And finally you did it so well that the perspective seems to be "flatter" and closer to you!! This was Excellent, cannot thank you for this!! Hope it was cool :D And thanks for the share also! Much love from Stockholm!
Hi, is all of this art free use and usable for commercial purposes, or is it copyrighted? Like can I recreate the grid and sun design and use them in some nfts I'm making?
The c and v is the traditional way (i do it sometimes out of habit). V is power duplicate. Meaning you can duplicate whatever you want but also if you duplicate a shape that way then move it or make it smaller, the next time you press J it will carry out that same action.
I was wondering if you may have a solution to a problem i faced trying to do this project with the sun, I get to the point where all the lines are in place and I click on the subtract to delete the black lines and it flips the whole circle in another direction where the yellow is no longer on the top it is on the left and the pink area is on the right is there a setting i need to change so that wont happen or have you not experienced that affect? i can show you it is before i click on subtract and after, and after watching this video it did not happen to yours. i hope you can help. thank you
Hi Ranae, thanks for watching I appreciate it. I can't say I've ever come across the problem you described. But may I suggest you create a compound shape to see if it makes a difference. Basically when you get to the part where you have all your black line layers (and they are on the top layers above the circular sun), select all the layers (the sun and the black lines) then hold down the ALT key and click on subtract. A compound layer basically allows you to reposition any edits you have made. That might not work but it's work a try just to see if your problem happens again. If not you can always use the gradient tool and reposition your gradient for the sun.
great tutorial video! I'm trying to redo your stuff but was wondering if it was possible to use the new isometric tool from AF1.7 to mimic this kind of frontal perspective... --> I've got a pattern of hexagons that I would like to bend the same way you did your "ground-grid"... But I didn't managed to replicate it with my pattern of hexagonal shapes... it always seems "from above" and slightly biased.
Hi there thanks alot, I haven't actually managed to play with the new grids in that update yet. But will have a look. I have tried to get this grid by other means also, such as using the star tool and increasing the amount of teeth/points but like you said the angle just didn't seem right. Let me know if you find out before I do. That would be useful
I'm a beginner at Affinity Designer and i'd just like to say your tutorial was absolutely superb. Well explained at the right pace and made it all look so easy although the reality is I'll probably forget most of it. Is there anything that inspires you to design certain things or certain projects? Paul C
Hi Paul! Thanks for the comment I appreciate it alot. I'm happy to hear my pace and explanations are working for you. If I don't do a certain action for a while in Affinity Designer I will forget too, your not the only one. I make designs based on things I love, I think that is a good start when thinking about what to design. That's why I recreated my own motorcycle in Affinity Designer (that's also a tutorial on my page). I would suggest creating something fairly simple first and getting used to using the tools you need. Maybe recreate a mobile phone
@@ArtistWright Thanks for the response. Think the difference you made was how you explained what I saw as a complicated design into a simple one. I've done a few other tutorials and recreated a document and think I will follow your 80's one next and go from there.
Thank you for this valuable information, I want to make sure I'm creating content my followers want to see. So your description of how it's helped you is important. Thanks
Quick Question, I do have Affinity Photo as well. If I bring my design into Affinity Photo will it change my image into a Bitmap from a Vector? I am designing a logo for a shirt. Thankyou sir
Hi there, no it won't but if you start applying FX and some filters to any of the vector objects they will convert to pixels. Keep an eye on it in the layers panel.
@@ArtistWright If you have an email address, I could send you what I came up with sometime once I enter it into the competition I am in for the shirt design! :)
Gar MaNarNar ah not that long at all, I used photoshop before. This is the first vector program I used properly as I didn't like Adobe illustrator. If you see my motorcycle design video. That is the first time I attempted to make something decent on it after a week playing about with it.
Ade Inkheart on a mac it's the Apple symbol and the letter stated. Thus duplicates anything selected. Same as you would do when copying and pasting on a word document

How did you get your rectangle in the window first over the 2 grids.
@@tinman6182 if you are talking about the rectangle that holds the grid, I just dragged the grid inside the rectangle on the layers panel
Brilliant! Thank you very much. I've now made my own, using the LA skyscrapers as the silhouette.
Excellent! I bet it looks Great, well done!
@@ArtistWright being a kid from the 80s, I love synthwave, retro graphics etc. This tutorial was a lot of fun!
Same here!
Another EXCELLENT tutorial.
I was a kitchen designer for 25 years and the similarities are great I’m able to transfer skills

THX for that great tutorial. even, if the RETRO-mirror-reflection kills me :)
Thanks Kevin, yeah don't make the mistake I made with the reflection
Hi!
What isthe difference between crt C, crt V and just crt J. Isn't easier to do just duplicate the layer with one operation instead of two?
The c and v is the traditional way (i do it sometimes out of habit). V is power duplicate. Meaning you can duplicate whatever you want but also if you duplicate a shape that way then move it or make it smaller, the next time you press J it will carry out that same action.
Also this video is 5 years old so I've learned alot more since then.
