Alternate source for tutorials?

[Barb]

I am just starting with Affinity Designer after 15 years with JASC/Corel Paintshop Pro.  Fed up with the major problems PSP is having and the lack of good customer support.  My question:  are there any tutorial posted that are not in video format?  I don't do well with video tutorials and would rather have pages to read from.  Thanks.

Perhaps this would help?

There are AP textbook and AD textbook in resource. Both of them are ebook. How do you prefer?

Miguel (@MEB) has gathered together many of the third-party tutorials (mostly available as static web pages) in a great list here: http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/designer/third-party-tutorials/ (although I don't think he has had time to add all the newer Frankentoon Toon Lab tutorials or the paid "Advanced Illustration" ebooks (ebooklets?) in the Frankentoon Store).

 

I get the impression the "manuals" in Resources are mostly the application help files extracted to PDF format, although I think there are one or two good starter guides from other users also published to PDF (although these are for Photo rather than Designer, if I recall correctly).

You can also access the same help directly from Designer or online here: https://affinity.help/designer/en-US.lproj/index.html

 

The printed workbook is excellent quality and worth the price - great introductions to the tools and concepts, and sample project-based application of the tools.
