In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a cute potted plant in Affinity Designer. We will use shape tools, child layers, the Shape Builder, and even some basic Pen Tool.
This project is super simple, so it's the perfect place to start for Affinity Designer beginners. Enjoy! :)

Ally, you are just the sweetest teacher, and I love that you take it slowly and describe each step you're taking. You also point out what can cause problems, and then how to fix them. I'm quite excited about Affinity 2, especially with you to help show me the way. :)

Loved this tutorial. I’ve been using Serif products since they started back with DrawPlus and so i can see how amazing this shape builder is! I used to do all of this by hand! Thanks for the info, I learned the basics of the shape builder now from your video and I can’t wait to try new stuff

Thank you for this tutorial. Is there a way to make the pot look rounder by making the shadow gradient?

@delaneyjohnson207 8 ай бұрын

Great tutorial, thank you! When I get to the part where you round the bottom of the pot, when I hover and drag it down, it creates a point instead of rounding it. I tried converting it to smooth but it just created a rounded point. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thank you!!

@AffinityRevolution 8 ай бұрын

With the Node Tool, you will make a point if click on a curve. To move the curve, you need to click & drag. 🙂

How does Affinity Designer compare to Procreate in functions & purpose?

@AffinityRevolution Жыл бұрын

Procreate is meant for digital painting, while Affinity Designer is meant for vector artwork. Here is a video on vectors if you'd like to learn more: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7qnnJVpptjVn58.html

@silversurfer4195 4 ай бұрын

For some reason, in v 2.4.2 I cannot get the "Create a new shape from the selected object" to work. I select the lip & dirt layers, click on the funny circle+square icon, but nothing happens... Mind you, it's not a complaint, just an honest question. I have rebuilt the shapes twice by now, but I'll continue with that extra layer. Thanks for the videos, anyway!

@derekknight9789 9 ай бұрын

Why use HSL instead of RGB or CMYK?

@AffinityRevolution 9 ай бұрын

I used HSL so that I could keep the same hue for the "shadows", while restricting my color changes to just the Luminosity.

@derekknight9789 9 ай бұрын

@@AffinityRevolution Sounds advanced. I'll have to wrap my brain around it for a while to figure it out I guess. Your classes seem detailed but easy to learn so far. My ADD is pretty bad lately for learning it seems. I'm working on a REPLICA NEWSPAPER exposing the HISTORICAL BETRAYALS of WW2 at the moment. I hope to come back to your AFFINITY REVOLUTION TUTORIALS for advice as I transfer from ILLUSTRATOR to AFFINITY. Thanks for the reply for me to think about. That seems pretty deep. Maybe HSL was there in ILLUSTRATOR and I never knew the COLOR THEORY or how to use HSL? Anyhow thanks for your guidance and your videos.

Hi thanks for the channel, subscribed! I've used Adobe Illustrator since the early 90's and about a year ago I moved to Affinity designer. Mainly because they don't require a subscription!

I am using Affinity Designer to less, to upgrade to V2. Maybe I’ll wait for an 50% off or something, but until that I use V1. I’m relatively new and struggling with the part where you are using the shape builder. How can I do this in V1? Great video though! I’m totally into Affinity Designer and plants hahaha 🪴

@AffinityRevolution Жыл бұрын

In Version 1, you will need to use the Geometry Tools. This video covers the tools in-depth: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNiSipynuZnbcWw.html

@Victor-xs7gf Жыл бұрын

I also have V1 and was looking for the shape builder until I realized it's for V2 lol. But I found an easy way around it. Just create two brown rectangles and make each a child layer and lower the opacity. Same effect 👍🏻
