Vintage Coloring Demo 2 - Affinity Designer on iPad (Advanced)
This is a follow up demonstration/tutorial for my Quick Kit Vintage coloring system. In this one we color the entire illustration from beginning to end using a few tools and techniques that weren't covered in the first tutorial.
The Quick Kit Vintage can be used in both Affinity Designer & Affinity Photo, but in this tutorial, we only cover its use in Affinity Designer.
If you enjoyed the demo, and wanna pick up the brush kit, you can do that here: https://gum.co/VWyzF
Also, I'd really love to hear from you guys concerning this tutorial. I just upgraded my computer, and started using Final Cut Pro for the first time, so I'm still learning how to use it. At the same time, some of these pieces I create take a few hours to complete, and it just feels that that's way too long of a video for most folks. So, I'm trying to tighten up and condense my tutorials by adhering to some kind of script.
I'll still plan on uploading some chit-chatty, easy-going, off-the-cuff long plays; and I've got a lot of fun ideas for that, but - I'm really trying to master the art of creating a good tutorial. I hope you guys will let me know what you think.

I used "Crimefighter" font for the text in the illustration. If you want to use this font in your own work, you can check it out here: https://blambot.com/products/crime-fi...
Blambot.com features a ton of really great fonts for making comics and the prices are super reasonable as well. I highly recommend checking out their catalog.
