You are an expert comedian, teacher, reviewer, artist, tech guy, & illustrator, ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Brad your videos are the best! You’re a constant reminder that art is supposed to be fun!
I love your teaching style and your humor so much.
It's so good - please keep the creative, quirky stuff coming. Especially these "how to draw" oriented videos. Love 'em!
Thank you so much Brad! I bought AD for my iPad Pro and got pretty overwhelmed by all the tutorials on CZcams. I know that I wanted to start somewhere and this a perfect tutorial to dive in. Greatly appreciated!
Love the dynamic use of perspective here ☺️☺️☺️☺️
You are making it more and more difficult for me not to get around to buying Affinity Designer! 😃 Great video! 👍
Just want to say, I was back and forth on whether or not to get Affinity Designer and watching this video totally sold me on it. Thanks, Brad.
Dude, I *really* love your channel, I'm learning soooooo many new things with you! ❤
"only to tell once you zoom out." OH HELL YES. This is my life. I zoom in and scream along like a banshee only to find hours later that it doesn't really make any frickity difference once I zoom back out again.
^^^ THIS. RIGHT HERE. I really need to take Brad's approach more often of ink first, adjust later. Image looks amazing on computer. Can't tell a damn difference when you print...
I do this with scans of traditional ink art work. Spend hours on photoshop editing the tiniest mistakes or wobbly line to find that when I print the art work, it makes no difference...
Thank you so much for this video Brad. Most helpful video on CZcams on this subject.
Dude! Great video! I’m sure I will have many questions and further comments in the years to come. Recently discovered affinity after years of searching. All of the detail tips you gave and the simple tricks are a huge help. All of the contrasting techniques and explanations are on point. These are those easy things you can use to improve your are as a whole and learn to work smart, not hard. Thank you!
I'm rocking a Surface Pro, but this helped me out quite a bit. I too fuss way too much over getting lines 'just so', and it never occurred to me to try the approach you've shown here. Also, great advice on giving individual panel elements their own layer--that's kept me out of trouble on many occasions. Anyway, I finally have an excuse to try inking my comics in Affinity, so thanks very much for that!
Congrats on 100K you deserve it!
Thanks!
Great video Brad, I’m currently on your iPad Affinity Designer course, hope you make more videos like this.
Nice tutorial. Thanks ☺️
Stunning drawing ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Love your style
This great. I didn't know you could do that with the your lines after the fact.
I'm really enjoying Affinity Designer. Thanks to your recommendation.
thank you for this!!
Great vid! 👍
I remember when I first got Affinity Designer for my iPad(learned about it from this channel), the only vector software I ever used was OpenToonz, and this was much different from OpenToonz(not just because it has no animation features either), so it was pretty tricky to use at first, but over time, I learned more and more about it, and now I'm able to successfully do cartoony characters using various shapes and using the Pen tool.
I think you are amazing! I love your quick yet detailed teaching style, and I have Just purchased your Udemy courses for affinity ipad (theres so much in that app its quite intimidating to a digitart art noob like myself) and the course for procreate, so excited to get into them both,.... as soon as the baby goes to sleep that is haha
Really nice vid, congrats. :) . And yep, Affinity rox big time !.... :)
Course is definitely worth the $10!
Downloaded it! Brad is an EXCELLENT teacher ☺️☺️☺️
I’d love to see a video of the tone wash you did..........if you just painted it on another layer, used masks etc. This answered a couple of questions I had about the brush.
almost at 100k!!!
Woohooo!
No badgers were hurt in the making of this video
Great tip on contour lines, thicken later, keep the ADD in check
That was Awesome! (with a capital A, in case you didn't see)
Thank you.
Thanks Brad
Brad, I had watched this about a year ago, and today I found your review of Affinity Photo for Artists. I have both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo on my desktop but I only have Affinity Designer on my iPad. I re-watched this and then back to your AP for Artists review, my question is: is there any difference in drawing between Affinity Photo for the iPad and the Pixel Persona of Affinity Designer for iPad?
Here for the badgers
Hey Brad, thanks for sharing. Any reason why you use the brush tool instead of the pencil tool?
Dope.
Haha I’ve just finished drawing Zombie and stumbled across this 😂😂😂
Almost at 100k subs :)
I would love to understand your workflow tools!
Do you draw every sketch on the Procreate then import to Affinity designer and do your vector art there?
Brad xp pen released their new xp pen 12 drawing tablet can you review
100k approaching, Daddy 😍
*big grin*
What tool did you use for the ink wash Brad?
Disclaimer: I own the software but, still haven't converted over 100% yet. Technically only at 20-40% ;)
6.24 Badgers to Beavers
They're morphing into other animals now! The crazy critters!
"nobody puts badger in a box" - dirty badger dancing
Just video I'm looking for.
Does it have the part 2 for the colouring process?
Can we see the badger in the box^^
For art in 2d video games. Is it better in vectors or if I work at the highest resolution of my game it does not matter? Thank you very much and congratulations for the video.
Do you do any tutorial in affinity designer "create a brush" somewhere?
do you address shading (how you achieved the ink wash) in any of your videos?
Can you join two lines that are initially separate, with each other just using their end points so it makes a closed shape.
Im looking to buy Affinity Designer and want to know if it has this feature.
Hello Brad, how are you? First I want to say that I love your videos. Second, I have a question. I like your black and white inking on this video, have you done a tutorial on how to color in your vector drawings? Please let me know and I'll be more than happy to give it a like. Thank you and keep up the good work ❤️👍🏽👏🏽
can you do this in illustrator? especially the ink wash?
can you then open the editable file in the Desktop app to make final retouches?
Badger badger badger badger badger badger
SNEEEEEEEEK! SNEEEEEK!
(sorry)
Is it possible to draw straight lines with vector brush tool, and if yes - how to do it? Thank you in advance! (i am asking for the iPad version)
Is there a way to ink and color in affinity designer (either ipad or PC) in a similar way to your Quickly Inking and Coloring comics in Illustrator CC video?
Brad, what is that house model you have on your shelf?
I have signed up to your affinity designer course I am finding it hard is there any way to just do it with a pen on the surface,because I have never used a mouse to do art.
Hi, is there a way to do drop color fill like in Procreate?
For some reason I am not seeing the vector brush tool on my iPad. I see the regular brush tool, but not the vector.
I got issues with myself!! lol Yes I'm obsessed by closing all my objects.. How do you get out that crazy closing feeling... and Reason why I do it is to fill the objects? I need help please and advise!
If you're looking to be able to fill your sections with colour I don't think there's a way to do it without ensuring you've drawn closed sections unfortunately. I'd love to know if there is a work around though. I know you can do it in illustrator, hopefully designer gets the same feature in an update.
I feel your pain.
Hi brad colbow, may i ask whether you still use screen protector on your ipad? Does your apple pencil nib wear out fast? What is the indication that the nib is worn out? I am using paperlike for only three weeks and i think my pencil nib is worn out because when i colour my illustration, sometime i get a “blob” line (blob, like a defective fountain pen nib).
Wear and tear on a nib varies a lot. I've used a screen protector on my iPad for a while, maybe 2.5 yeas now. I'm also still on my first pencil nib but I'm probably going to have to replace it soon, the tip is turning gray.
Ink wash? Is that a vector also? Or raster?
If you’ve dealt with print. Please make a video on formatting for books/comics. Specifically margins. For some reason I get confused on my bleed and margins. Add .125?. Not much info out there.
I feel like itd take more time to go bavk and esit all those lines
The stroke width wont change for me . When i adjust the line it doesnt do anything? I have no idea why
First view and first comment 😊
In your opinion can I use this as a replacement for Adobe Illustrator since I don’t use my computer a lot ? Love to know your thoughts thanks.
Yeah, I think it's a great Illustrator replacement. It's missing a couple features but for the most part it's fantastic.
@@thebradcolbow thanks
It depends on your needs. Illustrator is far and away more capable and powerful software, but you may not need all of what Illustrator can do. I always use what I call "Helper apps" alongside Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator because some apps do some very specific things very well. I jump in and do those 1 or 2 things, then move it over to Photoshop or Illustrator where everything I need is available.
I always get these ugly hooks at the start of my line work affinity designer when working on an iPad. The only way I've seen to get rid of them is using the rope tool but I don't always want that stabilization does body have a good workaround for this? Or no why this happens in the first place
Very interesting workflow. Thanks :) ...maybe a little bit too complex for my liking...I mean, drawing all the stuff and then tuning up the strokes later. Maybe in this way you're loosing a little bit of "naturalness".
Do you ever experience crashing on your iPad? I’ve recently run into issues where a few vector shapes with gradient overlay will make the software crash..
Can we cut a line in affinity designer? Please help
I’m using the iPad. Why can’t I make my lines thinner when using the vector brush???? :(
Can you export or open the file in Ai?
iPad vs Android Tablet vs Windows Tablet for drawing ???
And what would you recommend for taking to school, notetaking and drawing ????
IPad, Samsung Galaxy tab , Surface pro, Surface go ????
iPad is easily the best here. But if you need more general computing stuff too a Surface might be better. In terms of word and such. But the ipad is unbeatable in note taking with the pencil.
@@BurningBroadcast I know but I find it Soo hard to chose, my current PC is crap, it's a 4 year old laptop, and it runs like a turtle. I know that the iPad has optimized apps and everything works perfect, but the Surface is more versatile. If you were to chose one for yourself, to be your main device, for most stuff, would you chose an iPad or a surface ???
And I am on a budget so I am choosing between the Surface Go and iPad 2018
If I get more money I will chose between the Surface pro 6 and iPad pro
Well, my question would be how much of the pencil's drawing stuf you will be using. If you plan on doing lots of art, I'd pick the ipad. Affinity Designer and Procreate are stupid powerful. However if you want to do more general school stuff, and use the pen mostly for taking notes (in say OneNote) I'd say the surface is a better device.
I'd personally look at used Surface Pro 4 or 5's over the Go, the Go seems like a good deal ,but the entry model is to be avoided as it's way to slow. Also the keyboard cover and pen make the entire kit a lot more. You can probably find a nice i5 Surface 4 or 5 for a good price second hand. Those will be faster and great for your usecase.
So, if you're not very heavily focussed on art. I'd get a surface device, preferably a used Pro (or the Pro 6) with the keyboard cover and pen.
I myself use a iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) with the Apple Pencil and a Dell XPS 15 9550. But I also do a lot of heavy work the ipad or a surface pro wouldn't handle (video editing, 3d work etc)
@@BurningBroadcast Thanks, the pen is really important for me, but I also do a lot of other stuff on my PC. I do pdf editing, autoCAD, PowerPoint, Video and Photo editing and the iPad isn't good enough for that. I am still thinking if I should get the iPad or the Surface. I always had an attraction to surface devices, this is why I waited for the Surface event to come before I made any decisions.
If I were to pick up the Surface, what drawing apps would you recommend. I used Photoshop, Krita. On my Android drawing tab ( it's an old cintiq hybrid) I use medibang pain and Sketchbook pro.
Anyways, thanks !!!
I think a thin and light Windows tablet is the best option now. None of them are the best at everything. The Apple Pencil is probably the most accurate stylus, but the iPad is the worst option for general productivity. You have great options for art programs on Windows including Affinity Designer and Clip Studio Paint. These apps will perform well on a light Windows tablet. The light Windows tablet will do wel with battery life. I currently have an old Samsung Note Pro 12 and a first generation iPad Pro. It can barely handle Affinity Designer and other apps perform poorly. Only Procreate is really performing excellent on it. For note taking, I personally prefer Samsung's S Note app and the Note tablet over my iPad Pro. iOS is just sooooo limiting. If I were looking to buy a new tablet right now, I'm pretty sure I'd get a light Windows tablet and I think I'd favor one by Samsung. I feel like the Android tablet no longer has many advantages. It does general productivity better than iOS of course, but not as well as Windows. So the only advantage is cost. Ultimately, the cheapest option will be an Android tablet.
Wondering when you’re going to upload the finished art challenge october... the first week has passed..
Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to send out a message. I'm putting it on hold for a couple months. I'm rethinking how I can do the featured artist part and make the videos more fun to watch.
Brad Colbow aww thats sweet!! But you should know that the artists are waiting to see if you chose their art and I’m also one of them. It would be a pleasure if you’d do that for the next video.
👍Great idea!
Brad Colbow thanks!! 🙏🏻
Make video of pen tool in more detail affinity designer

как ты постарел, дед. в 2023 ты был моложе
I like this method but it takes so much time. I find it’s much better to just get proficient with brushes that way over time you just get better and quicker.
Great vid and tips ... but the music is very distracting
Ad is a great tool for designers. But the erasing tool is just silly.
first ? :D
Hey Brad (son of czcams.com/users/dottotech)
ha ha ha sorry man! But you really look like each other sins you have a Beard Growing!
But thank you for the video learn a lot and just like always i am enjoying you Uploads.
What is the alternative of affinity designer (Vector) for Android??
Till the next upload!
