So happy to see an African artist delivering an Affinity lesson. It was about time!!! Thanks Affinity and awesome work Sphelele
Really enjoyed that - keep it coming Affinity and @Ellsphee, if you don't have a CZcams channel already...get one!
Now that's talent right there Khehla 👏👏so proud of you.
Thank you!!
OMG. This was excellent. Ellsphee, thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Man what a great experience... I really would like to have some insights like Ellsphee had while creating his work... Congratulations Affinity and Ellsphee. Bring more content like this one to us.
Thanks for watching!
Look at you Khehla! So excited for you.
Thanks for the video. That illustration is absolutely brilliant!
Thank you!
I do a lot of line drawings in Illustrator and seeing how the line thicknesses can be manipulated in Affinity Designer, is making me realize I need to really check out AD
Incredible!!! I already have the Affinity Suite 😀. I only lack the talent 😔
This is so informative. Just now getting into Affinity and these kinds of videos are fascinating.
Superb work
Awesome end result, and nicely explained approach and thought process. Thanks so much!
Loved this one. It was so creative, inspiring, and completely understand the "feeling" of being satisfied with the artwork.
Thank you , it was a great lesson, opened my eyes to see what can be done with Affinity
Really fine work, Ellsphee. Loved seeing the workflow you use. Lots of useful skills, you’re a Talented Artist.
Thank you for sharing your workflow! Been looking for a tutorial on vector art using affinity designer!🙏🏾🧡
Just about to make the switch from Illustrator thanks Affinity 🙏
@@memberwhen22 not necessarily it depends on what is his requirement. Used Adobe for 21 years, switched to Affinity in 2016, and use it for all my design work.
@@memberwhen22 I quit Adobe after using their software for over 20 years. While their software is excellent, I'm not a fan of paying subscription fees and not being able to own them like I can with Affinity. I'm also blown away by Affinity's usability and features. Sorry, not sorry, not going back to Adoibe.
Sho Ellsphee! Tshisa poi poi!
Excellent and well done Ellsphee :)
What a great video. Thank you
Amazing work. One question: I notice the countless layers of curve layers generated as you draw. Does the number ever become so numerous that it impedes your work? Do you ever find it necessary to stop and group lines into logical groups?
Mesmerized by your work. Beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial.
I'm honestly counting down the hours!!
Yeah. This is gonna be good.
Thank you for the support!
Great! Inspiration! Thank you so much!
Sublime skill using an incredible software that has inspired me; thank you Ellsphee.
Really beautiful and impressive work, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting and inspiring. Keep up the great work.
This guy is a legend. Such amazing work. 😍😍
Really enjoyed the presentation. Thank you Affinity for highlighting such great talent.
I have to be honest this video is extremely inspiring. I like your approach from beginning to end, especially with the coloring. I hope to venture more into creating my own art and bringing it to life in Affinity Designer. Thank you for the video.
This guy is really good! Somebody get him an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil 2!
Thank you!
Ipad and Apple pencil don't make you creative. He does not need them. All he needs is a pen and paper. I think he was got them
Very Nice!!
Amazing tutorial
Amazing looking artwork. Great video. Thank you!
Nice work, mate. Thanx for sharing! God bless from Switzerland 🙏🏼❤️
Awesome video. Learnt a whole lot. I feel like I'm ready to take over the world.
Amazing resource, thank you so much for sharing your talents!
Wow!!
Amazing! Such an awesome artist. Very helpful tutorial too. Thank you.
Good. Thanks for sharing
Amazing work!! I am in awe of your creation. Are you self-taught in graphic design or did you go to college for graphic design?
Love the video your skills are exceptional. The style is beautiful too! Thanks for giving insight into your process and more importantly, your decision making path. So cool to see some freestyle artwork for a change. This space is packed with commercial graphic design and I get it, we all gotta eat but seeing more personal works being done with this amazing program inspires me on a different level! Carry on sir!
Thank you for sharing the work process! Your art is wonderful!❤️
Wow! you are awesome bro
Brilliant work bro. You should think about getting your own CZcams channel. Salute my fellow 031er

Thanks Ellsphee for a really interesting tutorial and loved watching it evolve creatively in your own time. (Background music annoying) but great tutorial and I look forward to more in your presentation style.
Nice art and great explanation. Thank you! :)
Love the image.
Aweh
Nice work. Great art. Thanks!
Great work man! Kudos!
wOw! Such a cool art process! Thank you man! One of the best sessions this far. Its petty, you didnt have time to show us all of those little details :). I noticed, blue/green piece of sweater looks kind of paper with torn edges. Did you apply textures or how did you make it?
Great job!!! Thanks!
Hi boss love your work
awesome artwork
Hi from sunny
Nothern Germany 🌈🌹
Wait a second... why didn't we get a notice beforehand like last time???
very cool!
Omg it so so so so so beautifulllllllllll 🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭👦😭😭😭
dope
17:15 was curious about what you did to get the shaded look on the face. Was it just shapes with blur and textures overlaid on top?
How did you achieve that textured effect on the "world peace" badge.
thanks
I applied and tweaked to Gradient Overlay found under Effects. Similar to how I did the smiley face.
Thanks
Thanks
Does affinity designer and photo have a tracing tool like photo shop and AI?? Or do you have to manually have to trace everything?
Trace it in another software, I'm using Inkscape to do so. It's really easy to use :) I know, a shame this can’t be done with Affinity, but that I can combine vectors and pixels makes it worth it!
Anyone else wondering why we didn't see enough of his cute face? just me? ok...
🤣🤣🤣

Beautiful artwork! Beautiful use of Affinity Designer. I hope you take my next comment in the spirit that it is meant to be helpful for your videos: Please stop with the nervous cursor movements, remember our eyes are trying to follow your actions. When you are hovering, let it hover, no wiggling around. When you move to select a tool, do it at straight, smooth, and at 2/3 speed motion so we can follow it. I'm not referring to your sped-up portions, only your talking, describing, demonstrating portions. I am so disappointed I had to stop at 10:00 due to a queasy stomach because your artwork is so interesting! I'll try to return to watch more of it.
