Creating custom studios in Affinity

One of the most amazing things about Affinity is that instead of adapting your workflow to the interface, you can adapt the interface to your workflow. You can rearrange panels, mix and match tools from different disciplines, save multiple setups, and even share with others.

This lesson will show you how to do just that.

Using artwork from American illustrator Pope Phoenix – whose work blends expressive raster brushwork with clean vector elements – we’ll show you how to create a custom studio tailored to someone who uses both pixel and vector tools.
