I use bolder strokes to define contours and the main shapes of my characters.

Then, I create a new Vector Layer and, using either the Vector Brush Tool or the Pencil Tool, I start tracing over my final line work. Once I’m happy with my refined sketch, I lock up the layer and switch to Draw Persona. Then, I lower the opacity of that first doodle and refine it adding a Pixel Layer on top, to work on the details just like working on a tracing paper! I don’t zoom in at all when sketching, to keep checking my entire composition all the time, which is what matters the most on this step. The team have worked really hard on the production values, and it’s not easy creating video tutorials on a building site-with accompanying sounds of fire alarms and drills-for an app still in beta that’s changing all the time! We acknowledge we have some issues with sound in these vids, it’s something we hope to improve on in future.I try to lay down this idea within the first 10 minutes, to keep the energy flowing and not waste time on details yet. With subtitles available for German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese and Japanese, everyone can benefit from this treasure trove of learning. Encased in a lovely platform (as you would expect from our web devs) the video tutorials also showcase the amazing work created by leading creatives in our special beta.

James and Andy from our docs team (with a some help from Charlotte and Sean) have created over 60 video tutorials to help you learn all about Affinity Designer for iPad. We’ve been hard at work creating a slew of video tutorials to help you get stuck into Affinity Designer for iPad.
