Great video! Someone explaining what he does ( nicely, by the way), without loud music, just the necessary and at the right volume. Thank you very much!
That was fantastic too! I‘ve learnt so much from every one of these videos, but especially - since I work mostly with vectors - from what Isabel was showing here. This lockdown programme has been such a benefit, Affinity!
@@isabel_aracama Oh the madam herself replied! This must be my lucky day. Thank you so much! I made it way back when I wasnt aware of Affinity. Anyway, thank you so much for this video, I immediately got inspired and then make this vector work in Affinity Designer; instagram.com/p/CK0jzBzgD0i/
Just: wow! So much to learn from - I will have to review this a couple of times ;) love that this is all done in vector shapes, as this is what I attempt to learn in the moment. Thanks for the great tutorial and for providing the original files! Greets, Claudia
As a newconvert to Affinitys software fm Adobe suite it was wonderful to see an expert user perform beautiful visual magic. Now just got to view it a few times to work out HOW you r doing sooo fast! Thank you so much for a gr8 session.
@@isabel_aracama Absolutely, I loved how I could hear the excitement in your voice when you saw the colours that you liked, to me that feeling when art just clicks is the best feeling ever! :)
If I could steal a 1/3 of Isabela's design skills, I would haha! Thanks, Isabela, I am learning so much from you starting with that hack pen tool tutorial of yours that has helped me with my affinity penmanship skills.
Thanks Andrew for this nice comment! But you can borrow them! Just look and repeat, ask, look again, repeat and ask more. That's the way I learnt... just that I never had so many resources as there are now or ppl to ask to hhhh... You'll get very far if you are persistent.
Hi Bondage Tuition! It certainly helps to use tools such as the colour chord options implemented within the colour panel in Affinity Designer. The truth is that since I am very used to work with this, I did't use any special combination or colour scheme other than what I prepared initially for the reference, which I created out from scratch following my eye and taste. But, should I need to or should I not feel I'm finding the right balance in colours or right combinations, I like to use tools like this one here, which helps a lot, plus it creates candy for the eye colour schemes in the blink of an eye coolors.co/
This is a wonderful video! Great work, great instruction :-) My only complaint is the impossible position of the moon, if the sun is to the left and hitting the side of the bridge. The moon should be a tiny sliver of a crescent, and that always drives me crazy. Obviously, that's completely immaterial, and you can just ignore me.
Nice tutorial! So fun to do it following your example. A question about the color picker (not the tool) With an object selected, you go to the Fill Button (e.g. 5:30), and in 1 movement you hoover over a place to choose the right color, you click (or let go) and boom: the object has the chosen color. (Like the Color Picker Tool works) If I try that, I have to do that in 2 movements: one to click somewhere with the color picker: the little circle changes into that color; and then I have to click this little preview circle for the object to change into that color. Any idea what I’m doing wrong (beside many other things)?
Hi John! Thanks for reaching out with your doubts and for the interest in this tutorial. So, you are doing absolutely nothing wrong. You have been "tricked" by the fact that the video is edited and there is a small cut in there. I probably said "hummm" or "eeehhmm" and so the moment I was editing the video I removed that bit which coincided with the double click and so it looks like the colour picker is working as the colour picker tool works, which we all would love btw! I am not really in love with the double clicking either! (double meaning that I have to come back to the chip and click on it again to get the colour applied). Let's just take this chance to leave it here like... a suggestion hhh :) Cheers and if you do some nice artwork, please let me see it! Kiss!
As everyone else has said, great tutorial. Just had one question. Why did you create the palette from the reference image as it doesn't look like you used it at all?...
Well it was more a tip than anything else in case you want to use something like the colours in the reference. I usually create it and then I use it ... or not! haha...
Hi Kalev. If you share the minute (Share >Start at, or simply typing it), it will be easier for me to know where exactly you mean and what is it you need to understand. In any case, I'll try to guess what is it you mean, maybe in minute 2:41 on the top left corner the greenish shape? If this is what you want to know, it is a primitive shape (square) with a lot of gaussian blur and an overlay blending mode applied to it. Cheers!
To me the bridge is wrong it needed to be larger and further to the left on the horizon, at the moment it's the same size as the smaller image despite being on the large graphic? Nice tutorial though...
Affinity team, please we beg to have more like this. This is awesome!
You’re teaching is liquid gold, Isabel
Oh, so nice of you to let me know! Thanks so much and happy it helped you!
World needs more of these valuable series. Kudos to Affinity team!
Great video! Someone explaining what he does ( nicely, by the way), without loud music, just the necessary and at the right volume. Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot for the kind words :)

These tutorials are awesome, thanks!
WOW! Thank you very much for this tutorial!
Great video, thank you. Isabel- can I ask if there is a system behind the colour coding of the layers in your documents?

Do it, cause for sure you can ;)
Nice. Very good. Congratulations.
Thank you Isabel. That was incredible.

Finally :)
Right in the beginning how do you make the overlay affect just the left corner not the entire image
Hi Kalev. If you share the minute (Share >Start at, or simply typing it), it will be easier for me to know where exactly you mean and what is it you need to understand. In any case, I'll try to guess what is it you mean, maybe in minute 2:41 on the top left corner the greenish shape?

Hard to understand her. Even slowed down.
Hi Henry. Sorry you struggled here. Try the automatic captions UA-cam generates, better than slowing it down maybe. Hope it helps you. Cheers!
