You have good information to share, and you present it fairly well. If you don't mind, I have three suggestions to make your tutorials even better than they are: ►1. Use the LIGHT Mode for your interface. Yes, I realize it is "cool" and "modern" to use the dark mode, and most people use it because that's the default in Affinity and they want to be cool, too. But it is MUCH harder to see than the light mode, and thankfully, Affinity has provided us with the capability to change that. So you need to decide whether it is more important to you to look cool or to allow people to see what you're doing more clearly. ►2. NARRATE EVERY Keystroke and Button Click. In this video, you only narrate the keystrokes and button clicks you think are important, but you do a lot more inputs than you tell the viewers about. Whenever you do anything on the screen, you need to verbalize what you are doing. This will make your tutorials much easier to follow. Yes, it will be redundant at times, but if you do not do this, I guarantee you will leave some viewers scratching their heads, wondering what you did. ►3. ZOOM IN to the area of the screen where you are working. This is particularly important when you are doing something on one of the studios or control panels. You need to zoom in to have that work area fill the entire screen. This will make it much more apparent to your viewers exactly what you are doing and where you are doing it. I believe if you will make these three changes to your tutorials, you will increase their effectiveness by orders of magnitude. Thanks for providing these tutorials and keep up the good work.

I just wanted to say that your video is amazing! I actually learned something new regarding making a square point at the end of the stroke or a sharp turn. Keep up the good work! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Your teaching style is very easy to listen to and understand. Great video!

Thank you for making videos which explain things clearly and easily.

Great tutorial, many thanks for your time and effort.

This is so helpful!!

I found this very help full thank you 😁

Very cool! I'm motivated to look for similar tools in Photoshop as sometimes I add graphics to my photographs. Thanks for sharing this! Best Wishes, my Friend! Your Friend, Russ

Thank you for a clear tutvid

Thank you for this nice bit of teaching. The pressure setting is something I've overlooked, so thanks for pointing it out. One minor issue - I cannot see the pressure panel in the video! This confused me for a few seconds, but once I realized that you could see something on your screen that I couldn't see in the video it all clicked and was easy to use in AD.

You can also make the stroke edges sharp. Just select the node on the edge and make it sharp

Thanks for the video. Would you say it is just as good to trace over the sketched image using the brush tool on the ipad with an apple pencil?

Thanks for the video, Nick! Question - if I wanted to do this stroke work on an iPad, would I be able to use the Apple pencil and DRAW the outline (of the rose, etc.)? Or would I still have to do it node by node? I hope my question makes sense. :)

10:50 the difference is not there, as you can press one button to also have sharp edges with the stroke version. The difference is when reducing/augmenting the shape's size; fill will remain unchanged, while with stroke you will have to change the stoke thickness in its settings, as it will stay the same no matter how bigger/smaller you want your shape to be.

You don't seem to know your way around the stroke and pressure to make sharp corners like with the full method.
