What you will learn

Students will learn all the tools necessary to take their sketches and turn them into finished professional looking vector artwork.

Why take this course?

Creating art is fun and your online courses should be too.

In this light hearted course I teach my zombie friend how to break down a complex poster design into small easy to create chunks just like the pros do. We learn all the tools you need one at a time by actually creating art with them and adding them to our poster.

By the end of this course you will be able to turn your sketches into professional high quality vector illustrations that will blow away your friends and family.

About Affinity Designer

Affinity designer is a fairly new program but is gaining traction fast due to it’s deep feature set and its place as an inexpensive Adobe Illustrator replacement. It is available on bot Windows and on Macs.

Affinity for iPad

There is an iPad version of this course available here on Udemy. Search for "Vector Drawing on the iPad with Affinity Designer". If you're using the iPad I would recommend that course over this one, the interface is much different.

I absolutely loved the project-based approach and this is the most clear explanation of how to illustrate in affinity designer I’ve seen yet.

This course explained a lot about Affinity designer in its use to create an illustration. Very easy to understand and follow along. Brad does an amazing job, if you are also into drawing he teaches drawing classes on YouTube which also helped me out immensely because they translate rather well into digital drawing and illustration.

I love this so far. I feel like Brad's teaching style is much better than most and I learn faster without having to labor on learning about each tool for too long.

It was overall fantastic! As a super beginner, there were some techniques I had to look elsewhere to understand but totally worth it

After taking a more theoretical course from Affinity Revolution, this course helped me more practically. The combination of these two courses has taught me a lot. I am very happy to have followed this course!

Good course which explains all the basics of Affinity Designer. One note is the quality of the video could be full HD, otherwise, this is a good introductory course to Affinity Designer.

I am a logo designer switching from Illustrator. This tutorial series was very helpful in getting me familiar with Affinity. Since it was an illustration course and not focused on logo design, there are things I will need to figure out on my own, but the teacher was great and I loved the course.

Step by step tutorial with detail explanation, newbie friendly. Clear sound quality but the video resolution can only play until 720p. some of the video have some issue but everything still ok.

Taking this crash course is one of the most fun learning experience for me! It's also very informative, and you won't realize just how much you've learned until you finish the final project! Thank you so much! :)
