Hi guys need some advice.

Might help us relate better if you show the sketch or something similar.

There are many tutorial on YouTube. They can be found by typing "Affinity Designer" or "Affinity Designer Tutorials" in the YouTube search bar.

Thanks, I’ve looked before and now and found a few may have to take parts from what I can find, and maybe apply some drop shadow, I can only try again .  Thanks I’ll look into this weekend , trying to wine me self away from photoshop.
