    Looks good Insecto, looks like you're enjoying that noise feature too. Suits it. Like the colour scheme too.

    Frankentoon Studio reacted to retrograde in NEW Affinity Designer tutorial (Cowboy Dog character beer label)   
    Hi all, a recent tutorial I did for Envatotutsplus on Affinity Designer is out.  
     
    It's a step by step from start to finish type of tutorial of my basic workflow developing a fun Canine Cowboy character to a cartoony semi-realistic finish. It's an intermediate level tutorial so some knowledge of Designer is required. :-)
     
    Check it out at:

    Also checkout the attached image here for a preview of the final image.
     
    Have fun!

    Hello everybody, how is it going? :)

     

    Long time with no updates on this topic. Looks like I totally gave up isn't it?… nope!, I'm still working hard on it, but -as always- it’s impossible to foresee the amount of work that takes to create several character design tutorials until you get your hands on the thing.

     

    So... here is a list of updates that sums up (pretty much) what’s been going on with the AD character design project the last couple of months:

     

    1. The project has an official name: Frankentoon (already registered wohoo!)

    2. I have a website mockup, ready to be translated to HTML5 by a fellow programmer. The domain is already bought and a plain landing page is up: www.frankentoon.com 

    3. I have 4 full tutorials already written and ready to be published.

    4. Still haven’t figured out the format of the premium products... but the website will be launched as a free tutorials platform.  

    5. I’m working on a secret vector pack for our first time visitors... ohh mystery :o  (the pack will be free of course)

    6. I’m already promoting the name Frankentoon in social media, you can find us at instragram and twitter as @frankentoon (lots of cool cartoon characters made with AD have been already added)

     

    Probably I forgot something, but those are the most important points in the roadmap.

     

    Website is planned to be up and running by the 1st of may (fingers crossed). By now I have to change the premium iOS ibook strategy entirely, because of the upcoming Windows release.  This cross platform thing opens up new possibilities so I want to have the right product for both windows and mac users.

     

    I think this is all for now... just one more thing :)  attached you’ll find some instagram screenshots of the official Frankentoon account, follow it if you please (please, please! :D), some of those characters have their tutorials written already :o

     

    If you have questions or suggestions they are always more than welcome. I want to know all of your suggestions and opinions (good or bad!)

    Hi. I have only just joined and have also recently made the switch to Affinity Designer (from earlier versions of Adobe Illustrator / Photoshop).
     
    I love the fact that I can get good results intuitively and fast in AD compared, even without a lot of hours under my belt. 
     
    Nevertheless, the prospect of a dedicated book or a series of tutorials sounds very appealing, particularly if the focus is on Character / Mascot Design, creating vector landscapes, backgrounds etc.. In this way, not only will we master the tools but also gain valuable skills that can be put to use immediately on real projects.

    Hi Enrique! 
    Nice idea! As for me, i would buy digital edition of book like this for sure. Not the printed one, for different reasons. And it must be about AD. I will not buy a book on Illustrator anymore  :D

    In the mean time you can try these workarounds

    For Artboard,
    Transform input boxes usually cannot work, have to close the file and open it again to work with the input boxes.

    Love the canvas rotation! And the multiple artboards, but wish it didn't act as a clipping of the art work. Is there a way to override this?

    Hi!
     
    My name is Enrique Figueroa, I'm a professional graphic designer.
     
    I've started to use Affinity Designer recently and I love it!.  I have some expertise in character design, mascot design and such... I began to write a book about cartoon character design in Adobe Illustrator a few months ago... but it happens that I don't use Illustrator that much anymore (I hate, hate the subscription thing).
     
    So I thought that it would be a good idea to re-write the whole book for Affinity Designer only. 
    The book is oriented towards people that would like to give life to their ideas, without the pain of going all the way trough DaVinci's academy... the learning method is very simple, for beginners and advanced users alike. 
     
    The goal is to help you in the making of all kind of characters within a month or two, so you can even make money out of them (T-Shirt design, vector stock selling, freelance works, etc). Its heavy focused on styling and commercial appealing.
     
    I still don't know in which formats will be released.  For now I would really, really appreciate your feedback on this project. It appeals to you?, Would you buy it?, how much would you pay for it?, is this what you need?... any opinion is welcome, my mind is open. You can ask whatever you want too.
     
    I have attached a couple of my drawings just to give you an example of the simplicity and look of the characters for this first module (these ones won't be in the book, but they can give you a small idea).
     
    I love more and more AD and I think It has great potential as a learning tool.
     
    Thanks in advance,
    Enrique Figueroa
