Your teaching style is very easy to listen to and understand. Great video!
I really appreciate that, glad to hear it! Thank you!
You can also make the stroke edges sharp. Just select the node on the edge and make it sharp
Thanks for the comment! Much appreciated!
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! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it! And thank you I appreciate that!
Thank you for making videos which explain things clearly and easily.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
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.
Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful! Its a very useful feature, definitely one of the best! I have since fixed the issue, so the menus will show properly in future videos. I appreciate the comment, all the best!
@@njvalenteart Out of curiosity, was it just a setting in OBS (or whatever you use to create your content)?
@@leroycasterline1122 Yep, so all fixed now.
Great tutorial, many thanks for your time and effort.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
This is so helpful!!
Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful!
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
Awesome, I'm glad this might help, PS does have a pen tool as well that works very much the same way. Best of luck!
Thank you for a clear tutvid
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful!
I found this very help full thank you 😁
Glad it helped! 👍
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.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your very thoughtful comment! This is one of my first videos, since I do use more narration for the keystrokes and zoom ins for important features. I am always trying to add more and find the right balance, so people can get the most out of the tutorials. I'll keep that in mind as far as light mode, for creating videos. I simply prefer the dark mode, it tends to be easier on my eyes for the hours I stare at the screen. Thank you very much again for your support, all the best!
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. :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! You would still have to do it node by node, unless you use the Vector Brush, but it will give you more of a "freehand" look. It won't be quite as clean as using the Pen Tool, but it might work really well for you. Hope that helps! I've been meaning to do a video on the Vector Brush Tool, and will soon.
@@njvalenteart Yes, that does help and make sense. :) I need to just download AD and give it a shot! :)
@@TedMattos Awesome, good luck and have fun!
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?
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful! And yeah, you can definitely do that! Thanks for watching!
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.
I prefer the sharper lines with the fill method. And you can set stroke lines to scale with object, so there are ways of keep the stroke weight when scaling or changing. Thanks for your comment!
@@njvalenteart wait you actually can do that?? smh thanks for the tip 😅
@@wisedred Its pretty handy!
🧐👍
👍🙌
You don't seem to know your way around the stroke and pressure to make sharp corners like with the full method.
