Ronnie did a great job explaining all the fundamentals of Affinity Designer and covered a lot of gaps in my knowledge. I really enjoyed the section where we begin coloring in the character and I wish we can have more of that. I highly recommend this course to anyone willing to get started with illustrating in Affinity Designer.

This was great. I learned so many tips and tricks. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Great!

The class perfect for me as a beginner. Great details and in depth explanation. More drawing examples would be nice.

I think it was a good course, anyway, though I thought differently at first. I already knew a lot of what the course leader showed us, but I am satisfied with the course.

I got so much out of this course! Ronnie is great!

Lots of good info on drawing but also how to approach problems.

I really enjoy this course, Lots of thing to learn and very well explain.Can wait for the next one .Thank you

Good so far. I've had the program for a while. Trying to move eventually to affinity and drop Adobe but need to know more.

Amazing
