Character Airbrush Course using Affinity Designer

In this course, I’ll walk you step by step through my process for creating high-quality, clean character renders inside Affinity Designer. I’ve used this workflow in professional settings for clients such as SEGA. You’ll become confident and familiar with the pen tool, the node tool, the ins and outs of a grayscale to color workflow and walk away making something you can be proud of.
