The Affinity Designer Crash Course (Udemy.com)

I tried to get the course for iPad, but instead got the Mac course instead.

This course explained a lot about Affinity designer in its use to create an illustration. Very easy to understand and follow along. Brad does an amazing job, if you are also into drawing he teaches drawing classes on YouTube which also helped me out immensely because they translate rather well into digital drawing and illustration.

This was a really good course for getting some solid familiarity with Affinity Designer. It has gotten me to a great jumping off point where I now have the confidence to explore further. The project was also a lot of fun. It was a good balance of not super complex but containing enough challenges to bring up my skills. Seeing how the project was laid out and approached and also the bonus use of the Pixel Persona was enlightening and I can apply it to my own workflow. Thanks!

I really loved this course! the teacher is funny and cool and he explains very well. I've appreciated so much to learn by creating a project (illustrations) and I liked also that the course is not too long, in 3 - 4 days I have learned the basic of Affinity Designer which was my goal and in bonus I have learned some basics and tricks to create shadows and cool illustrations. Thank you Brad :)

The best thing about this course is that not only do you learn about Affinity Designer, but you actually work on a design from beginning to end and it’s so satisfying knowing that you created it! Brad knows the ins and outs of Affinity Designer and is really engaging. I have years of experience with vector design, but I still learnt quite a bit and expanded my skill set and confidence.

This was such a fun course. Easy enough to follow for someone completely new to Affinity Designer or vector based drawing. I had just a little (self-taught) experience with Illustrator but am focusing on learning Affinity Designer so this course was perfect. Brad makes it fun, engaging, challenging yet very, very doable for even complete newbies. I'm happy with the skills I learned and the outcome of the lessons. Very cool!

Excellent course, and very in dept on using Affinity tools without getting confused as to how to make different shapes as well a using fonts. What I love about this course is that Brad took me through the whole design process as well as to explain why he uses a certain color, or how to make the design stand out as well as why he chooses not to add to the design. Also, you get great use of the pen tool to build the project and my favorite part was learning about global colors! All in all excellent course and I will definitely take the Ipad version too. Very happy with course and instructor!

The course content and presentation is very good. Covers the basics and most of the useful tools. In a few videos for example like in Layers video, there were video glitches like watching a really old scratched DVD, this kinda made it hard to see the drop down menu and pointer in the software being explained. It would be perfect if that video glitch is corrected.

I follow Brad on Youtube and this is the second course of Brad's I have taken here on Udemy. It is great to watch him work and explain as he is doing. The project is fun and gets the points across very well. Even though I have had AD since beta, I have never really used it for a "complete" project. This course showed me how to use AD from a master at his craft.

This is an excellent course in the basics of Affinity Designer. My art career has so far been using simpler programs like ArtRage or PaintTool SAI. Not only did this course convince me to purchase the full version of Affinity Designer, but I now feel much more comfortable in a professional interface like that of Photoshop or Illustrator. I think this is an important step forward in my career as a digital illustrator, and I credit Brad greatly for making it an easier (and enjoyable) step to take. I look forward to taking more of his courses.
