I am not a professional artist or designer. I was just playing around with Affinity Designer one day, drawing some flowers and trees... and I got hooked! And now, I every time I see nice flowers or trees, I feel challenged and look forward to draw them.  I have a lot to learn about Affinity Designer and digital art drawing, but I am enjoying every moment of it.  So thank you so much! :D

Thanks for taking the time MEB, all of your comments are very encouraging! 

Very nice—its a very strong style.

We’ve heard that the guys over at Smashing Magazine are looking for independent contributors to create a set of tutorials for Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. All authors at Smashing Magazine get paid, so it's not just for kudos.
 
If you have good experience as a writer and using Affinity apps, this could be for you! There's more information about what Smashing Magazine are after, and contact details, over on our blog post.
Best wishes, Dale.

I think...that there are no shorcuts, you need to adjust the converted fonts manually.  Is more precise since every font has its own character and thanks heavens, we are smarter than the software, so I feel more comfortable adjusting those small details laying down some guides in the desired angle and then shaping the paths until they all fit.

I really appreciate our feedback. I'm planning to release this tutorial books in volumes, all of them independent of each other, this means you can perfectly start to put to work your knowledge from volume 1, that is characters.  Some other topics I'm developing simultaneously are:
 
• Creature Design
• Advanced Coloring
• Introduction to environment design (so your characters can live in their own worlds)
• Dynamic poses and expressions
 
At the same time I'm working alongside with a web developer to launch a website with free content: tutorials, vector packs, brushes, etc. There will be premium content too, but you don't have to buy anything to start learning.
 
If you have questions or suggestions, I'll be checking this post daily. My main concern is to fulfill your needs on this matter as closer as I can.
 
To Peter: Thank you!, I appreciate this kind of feedback, is very important for me.
