FIRST STEPS IN AFFINITY:

CREATE REPEATING PATTERNS WITH HAND-DRAWN GRAPHICS

Ease into the new Affinity by Canva without the overwhelm! In this course, you'll learn the basics of drawing vector graphics, and then use these simple but effective designs to create three types of repeating patterns.

Want to try Affinity but keep talking yourself out of it?

I see you.

"I'll just do it some other time."

You’ve been reluctant to even open Affinity for the first time, wondering if you’ll somehow mess something up. 

"I can't draw for beans."

You've wanted to create your own non-AI graphics for a while now, but you keep flashing back to high school art class and feeling that little knot of uncertainty rise up again. 

"This is way too much for me. I'll just stick with Canva."

You’ve opened the interface once or twice… only to close it just as quickly because it felt like too much. 

"Ugh. I knew I was terrible at art."

Maybe you even tried having a little play around, but all you walked away with was a random blob in a color you didn’t even like. 

All of that changes now!

Introducing...

Praise for Nadia's other courses:

“I thought I could figure it out myself, but I'm so glad I bought the training. Your tutorial was great! Your content was laid out in an orderly manner. You explained everything so it was easy to understand and follow, and I feel you were not rushing through the lessons. In many of the other tutorials I've purchased before, I found the creator was talking fast, all over the place, and a challenge to follow. I completed the tutorial and now have the skill and confidence I need.” - B.
