I often do forget and also have a hard time to find again resources that others or I have contributed over time here in the forum. In former times I've often oriented on MEB's Affinity resources page, which sadly nowadays isn't up to date any longer (probably it's too much work and too time consuming to keep that up to date). - Here are some links to my own resources section contributions, so I have and keep myself sort of an overview for these.

I'v tried to do a more “realistic” drawing in AD.
So it ended with some very different rendering on the same draw %)
 
I'll try to continue those kind of tests ^^

I'm sure there must be a graphic novel in here somewhere. If I could be arsed.
 
Addendum: Have added in another character study here. Not sure where all this is heading...
 
 
 

I chose Affinity Designer to learn how to render a real world object using a bottle of syrup. The lines were pretty easy to work with and with Designer's help, the project was easy to finish.
 
A .png comparing the photo with the render is attached to this message. The project file exceeded the size limit by a bit, so you can grab it at this link for now. I hope it helps someone else learn how great Designer can be for new users.

I'm Jack Lewis and I'm a retired (75) technical illustrator. I cut my computer graphics teeth with Serif's DrawPlus and I got some pretty good results with it but it was on a PC and I hated Windows!
I'm sure you have all heard me belly-aching and going on about the lack of certain features useful to technical illustrators.
 
About two years ago I invested in a mini Mac and went through the usual learning curve (actually I still am). That meant no more using DrawPlus so I bought Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Photoshop I could use OK and still do but I after DrawPlus I just couldn't get on with Illustrator. I then got hold of a PC laptop and installed DrawPlus on it. The next day I got an email from Serif offering me a free download of something new called Affinity! What lousy timing - on my part that is but bang on for Serif! I am now going to invest in the latest iMac and the rest is now history.
