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.
