Create a traditional rose vector in Affinity Designer

Course details

Learn affinity designer by actually completing a project 

Affinity designer is quickly eclipsing the more traditional giants in the vector art space, the only issue is MOST OF THE COURSES tell you EVERYTHING about EVERY TOOL. If you are like me you learn most effectively through the application of the tools through an actual project...and when it is immediately applicable!

This course is perfectly suited to the individual that already knows a bit about traditional art mediums, but is looking to make the leap into digital art through the use of Affinity Designer. We will be creating a traditional tattoo inspired rose and banner ...complete with the ever favorite MOM text. 

This course was designed to be about 1.5 hours in length and be completed including the project i about 4 hours....so this is the perfect course for the busy individual that is looking for a simple project to learn the software in the SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME.
