I will provide you with all of the guidance you need to create your very own botanicals that can be used in illustration, surface pattern design, for print on demand sites, client work and much more.

You will also receive, as a free download, a set of assets, and a vector brush pack that I have created specifically for this class. Throughout the class, I will show you how to use them to create your own colorful, textured florals. I have also included, in the Resource Guide, a complete list of all of my favorite Affinity Designer brush makers and texture designers so you can further build your own go to collection of tools for creating your own textured flower illustrations.

In this class, you will learn:

– All about the User Interface in Affinity Designer for iPad, including the vector and pixel personas and how they can work both together and separately all in the same app.

– How to create your own custom color palettes using reference photos or your own illustrations.

– Use the built in shape tools in Affinity Designer to create the vector base for your leaves and flowers.

– Use the Pen and Pencil tool to create freehand shapes that you can turn in to beautifully textured, colorful flowers.

– The three methods I use to add texture and dimension to my flat illustrations.

– How to create, save your completed objects to the Assets Studio and use assets in the Nature Elements Asset Pack to build your leaves and flowers and use them in future illustrations or seamless patterns.
