AFFINITY DESIGNER FOR IPAD: LET'S VECTOR-DRAW PLANTS!

Hello and welcome to my Skillshare class: Affinity Designer for iPad - vector drawing plants in pots.

Level: novice to intermediate. Theme: houseplants in pretty pots.

So, you want to learn to master Affinity Designer for iPad but you don’t know where to start? Then look no further, this is the place to be. Affinity Designer has both a vector and a pixel environment, but in this class I will focus on the vector area.

What can you expect:

After a short introduction and a brief overview of the app's interface, we'll start by of making moodboard in VizRef
Next we'll really get working with Affinity Designer, starting with the shape tool
Once that’s covered, I’m moving on to the pencil tool: a great way to draw freely in a vector based app. Learn how you can draw leaves and colour them, using the super handy gradient tool in Affinity Designer for iPad.
We'll cover clipping masks...
And why expanding strokes is a good idea...
etc!

In easy, understandable steps I'm taking you along this tour to both construct as well as draw a nice plant in a pot. Feel free to add flowers, other sorts of plants, cacti, birds!

It does come in handy if you know a little bit about vectors, but it’s not absolutely necessary so just get your gear out and join me!

By the way: this class is a follow-up of my previous classes Vectornator for Superbeginners. Although that's not Affinity Designer, if you're very-very-very new to vectors, it might be a good idea to check out what vectors are about. Even if it's only the part of what vectors actually are. The basic approach to vectors is the same in virtually every vector drawing app.

Have fun while discovering the many possibilities and options of Affinity Designer. Each time I working with this app, I come across new things, so don't be afraid to try out other things than what is shown in this class.

So, no more lingering - let's go! Enjoy yourself with Affinity Designer for iPad!
