Vector Illustration Masterclass - Botanical Art in Affinity Designer & Adobe Fresco for iPad - VIDEO COURSE

I'd be over the moon if you could please leave me a STARS ★★★★★ rating after your purchase :)

Welcome to"Vector Illustration Masterclass - Botanical Art in Affinity Designer & Adobe Fresco" - my most comprehensive vector illustration course, over 5 hours packed with a lot pf practical knowledge! This class is dedicated to artists of all levels who would like to improve their vector art skills and design a fun botanical art poster. We will be also exploring the synergy between Affinity Designer and Adobe Fresco.

This course is building on my first "Vector Assets" course and it includes a lot of extra material. The first Assets course focused on the hand-drawn vector art feeling, and this second Assets course focuses on more geometric shapes and forms.

This is what you'll be learning in the class (among a ton of other things):

• most vector drawing tools in Affinity Designer: the pen tool, the pencil tool, the vector brush tool
• Fresco vector brushes and symmetry tool
• Fresco vs Affinity exports and imports between 2 softwares
• the corner tool
• the shape builder tool
• the rectangle tool and all Boolean operations
• blend mode effects together with power duplicates
• adding vector-based texture
• the knife tool
• building a complete library of assets
• designing a botanical poster and preparing it for print

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR

1. digital illustrators and designers: Transition from beginner/intermediate to pro with using vector design tools. Improve your work efficiency and speed.

2. beginner and intermediate artists looking to learn more about Affinity Designer & Fresco: This class is perfect for you if you'd like to learn more about vector illustration, get more proficient in using Affinity's and Fresco's drawing tools and speed up your creative process.

FAQ 🤔

• What tools do I need?
  • Any version of Affinity Designer, desktop or iPad. I will be demonstrating on my iPad in Designer V2. There is one important difference between V1 and V2: the older V1 version doesn’t have the auto-close option for the Pencil Tool, so you will need to make sure to close your vector shapes manually. Adobe Fresco here is optional because you can still complete your project just with Affinity. However, Fresco is for free - so why not? :)
• Is this course good for beginners?
  • I’d recommend this course for more intermediate users who already know the interface of Affinity Designer a bit. However, all my Affinity courses are very beginner-friendly and targeted at people who have little experience with Affinity or Fresco software. They're also suitable for more experienced designers and illustrators who perhaps wish to transition from Adobe software into Serif tools (Designer, Photo, Publisher).
• What if I don't understand something?
  • If something just isn't clicking, just give it a rest and come back to it later if you're having trouble. Perhaps you would like to join our Facebook Affinity Designer and Fresco group? We share there our Affinity and Fresco work, answer questions and give each other feedback. You can also approach me on Skillshare or via email: hello@weronikasalach.com
