Nothing inspires a higher level of perfection than knowing the client will walk around with my art for the rest of their lives.Īfter completing a masters in business and having to manage the marketing of a successful shop I quickly realized that the future of art is digital and I began making my own show banners and managing my own website. This began a love affair with art and lead me to open 7th seasons studios. Starting out in more traditional mediums I cut my teeth in pencil, charcoal, and acrylic painting until discovering tattooing. With over 20 years tattooing, and almost 40 of being a creative I have been into art since I got something I can draw with in my hand. Overall this is the course out there I wish I had when I got started, and I am proud to share it with you. You will have completed 2 projects, one illustration and one composition You will have student support through the platform You get all of the source files, brush files and you will have a complete set of digital tools made and customized by you.
You get 2 of my professional brush packs that we DID NOT MAKE in the course, just for being part of it What will you achieve when you complete the course? if you do not know what a mask layer or a blend mode are), then this may not be a good fit for you HOWEVER if you are new to digital art ( i.e. While this is not a beginner course, you do not need a high level of Affinity knowledge to take this course, and as long as you know the basics you will be fine. What level of experience do you need to take this course Gradient pallets for color grading techniques Hand drawn strokes converted into vector brushes and then we crammed it into this course, included in the course are topics on We polled Affinity users from some of the largest forums out there and asked them what they wanted to know when it came to tool building. if you don't have BOTH Affinity Programs, no worries, easily 90% of the course content is applicable to BOTH software systems, so you will never feel like the course is geared toward one or the other
In this course we make the tools and apply them to 2 real life step by step projects.ONE BEING AN ILLUSTRATION , the other is a FULLY RENDERED PHOTO COMPOSITE.
We will be using Affinity Designer and Photo, but we are also going to be using a free software from FX home called HITFILM EXPRESS to bring the world of CGI into play when we make our tools, and as a totally optional piece of my workflow I will be showing you how I use Vector Magic to create vectorized textures for use in larger projects.so from concept to finished tool, you see the entire pipeline we use to create professional tools for use in Affinity What sort of software and projects will be complete In this course we will utilize the affinity suite of products ( Designer and Photo) to create the following digital tools I have been teaching the affinity Suite now for over 3 years to thousands of students and I want to put the power to create with this amazing software in your hands.along with so much more. Or maybe you are in interested in trading or one day selling your tools to those that are fans and follow your work.
so why aren't you?Īre you competent in the Affinity products of Photo and / or Designer, but not sure how to go about making your own tool?Īre you not sure what to make, how to develop them.or even what the steps are to make your own tools? As we know custom tools add a completely new aspect to an artist's work, and there are ton of people out there creating them.
