Staff Dan C Posted June 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi theartistcourtney, Welcome to the forums I'd recommend starting out by watching our tutorials for Designer, as these cover the basics as well as more in-depth functions. Secondly, we have an entire section of the forums dedicated to tutorials, both Serif and customer created, so you may find more useful tutorials for your workflow here!

gdenby Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi, the artistcourtney, How much about computers do you know? Do you understand the file system, so you can save, find, and retrieve what you are working on? Do you know about the various kinds of graphic files? Do you understand the difference between pixel and vector based drawings/paintings? I bring these up to help you feel a little more oriented. While most computer art emulates traditional methods, one makes a mark on a surface, it might be better to think of it a little more like making a collage, or a design out of colored paper shapes. The difference is that in contemporary applications the shapes/collage bits can be moved, re-shaped, removed as one goes along. As always, ask questions, and offer examples of what you are trying to do.
