Hi people,
Hoping to help as many artists as possible ... here's another tutorial made by me for understanding certain tools available inside Affinity Design. I'm sure I'm not being exhaustive, these are three ways that I know and found out and they serve me well for my professional work. There must be other ways of working the shadows and highlights. I hope it is easy to you to understand.
Enjoy

Wow! Affinity Designer looks very good from the git-go. It's fast, well organized and pleasant to use. The text handling has some excellent features already. Scrolling through the font menu and watching selected text change live, quite a treat. 
 
The main addition it needs for me to replace AI is arrowheads. I don't need a lot of useless style options such as Adobe offers, just filled triangles that have some adjustment options.
 
    •  placeable on beziers as well as straight lines
    •  auto scale to line thickness
    •  user adjustable scale acting on default size  (+% and -%, i.e.)
    •  user adjustable head angle (again, maybe relative to default)
 
And maybe, if not too much trouble:
    •  an option to have arrowhead extend line OR
           have the line shorten to place the arrow tip at the end of the original segment.
 
Thanks for listening,
Byrne
 
[edit] P.S. Another discussion of arrowheads suggests ability to round corners. Not strictly necessary for me but nice. Acts on all three corners, maybe adjustable as a proportion of the arrowhead's size.

No complaints here. I'm 40 and well, dark...works for me :P  I did notice an option in the preferences for changing the the size of the icons in the UI but they don't seem to do anything. Ugh, I am not  looking forward to the day when "dark" UI does not look good to me anymore. hehe
