You know the old saying, “All roads lead to Rome”? In this case, many roads will take us where we’d like to get to, but some are better than others. I will also explain some of the decisions I take and methods I follow as I work. Final image that we’ll be creating in this tutorial. Although the iPad app’s features and functionality almost completely match the desktop version of Affinity Designer, it relies much more on using the touch screen (and the Apple Pencil) and because of that, you may expect to find some differences in the workflows. Note: As of today, July 11, Affinity Designer is also available for the iPad. The illustration will scale up to whatever resolution and size needed because no bitmaps will be used.
In this article, I would like to walk you through just some of its very user-friendly main tools and features as an introduction to the software and to show you how we can create a nice flat vector illustration of a Volkswagen Beetle. Unlike some other packages, its price is really affordable, there’s no subscription model and, as mentioned already, it’s available for both Macs and PCs. It was July 2015 when Serif Europe launched the amazing software that many designers and illustrators like me are using now as their main tool for professional work. ( This is a sponsored post.) If you are in the design world, chances are that you’ve already heard about Affinity Designer, a vector graphics editor for Apple’s macOS and Microsoft Windows. The author is not affiliated with the product in any way, and the article has been reviewed independently by Serif as well as SmashingMag’s editors. While this tutorial was kindly sponsored by Serif, the creator of Affinity, we’d like to point out that it is written by an independent design professional who personally enjoys using the software and shares her lessons learned.
