I want to make the feet and the effect of the water on them...

Where can I find a tutorial on how to take images and turn them into vectors?

You cannot. No Affinity products offer the option of converting an image to a vector.  It is one of those things that the devs have said they would like to be able to do, but are not making any promises. If you do a search for "Convert Image  Vector" or Autotrace (without quotes) you will find several postings asking this question, such as this one..

I found your message very hard to read. You appear to have pasted in your text from a text editor in a monospaced font without any word wrap. Consequently I have to scroll sideways to view the whole line. Could you not just type your message into the box provided?

In order to get the whole as plain vectors, even the 3D water/gel effect, you would have trace that image with some third party bitmap-to-vector tracing tool and export as PDF/SVG from that then for exchange.

Other than that, you would have to create or reuse some vector feets and then try to apply some FX 3D filter and water/gel effect (some for Affinity made style etc.) to it, so the whole comes in looks close to your image. Note however, that applying FX effects and styles will here then rasterize the feets, meaning they will loose their plain vector format when exported as vectors in Affinity apps.

Thank you,
A thousand apologies. Corrected.

I thought Affinity had an easier way of doing this. I don't even care about Vector, but how to make this water effect.

Try the styles here (the glass one) ...

I think there are other such effect too under the resources section in the forum. Do a search after "glass"/"gel"/"water" effects and styles in the forum or via Google.

I clicked on the link, but there was an error.
