Easy to follow and fun.
By Jan-Ove Johansson
I think it´s very good and I have learned several new tricks. Affinity Designer is a very good program and I do not regret that I switched from Photoshop and Illustrator. The teacher is good and speaks clearly, which is important for me who has Swedish as language.
