Quote from R C-R

I noticed Elaine Giles, Detour Shirts, Kru Mark Tutorials, cappuswong, & quite a few others that I was not already aware of seem to post quite a lot of them, plus a few I new about like Technically Trent & Affinity Revolution.

Which if any of these contributors would you recommend to other users? Any particular tutorials you consider "must sees"?

Apart from those mentioned by R C-R in the first line of his post (medium/high level), I see a considerable number of them around, but they are all (entry level) aimed at those who are approaching Affinity for the first time or thereabouts.

Perhaps it is still too early for specialists, who will surely make videos that all of us (not exactly beginners) can draw on to improve our work.

@affinitytilde also seems to be posting a lot of Affinity tutorials at https://www.youtube.com/@affinitytilde

Hi R-C-R,

I've a few Affinity 3 tutorials (42, to be exact) saved here :

View in YouTube. The 42 tutes are to be found on the right-hand side...

None of them are mine.

I just saved any new Affinity 3 tutes in this location so that they are in one place, rather than scattered across YouTube.

think 'How To Mark' is one of the YouTube guys who creates Affinity 3 tutes.

Thanks. Sorry, but since I am not a YouTube regular, I am a bit confused about which are your videos & which are from others. Are your videos tagged as from "How to Mark" or something else.

I’m not exactly what I would call a “YouTube regular”, either, but I do visit YouTube fairly frequently. However, I am also confused!

The screenshot posted by Dust shows a ‘Gold Fish’ playlist comprising 43 videos instead of 42. ‘Gold Fish’ and ‘@GoldAlienFish’ clearly refer to Del’s distinctive gold wire creations, but I see 46 videos when I visit the playlist page.

Thank you, Alfred. It's just a link to the playlist I created of Affinity 3 tutorials which I gathered in one place. I hope they are helpful to you.

46 tutes there now...

69 Affinity 3 vids there now...

I've not watched them all, but I thought you guys might like to have them all in one location. I'll add more when I see them.

A lot of the videos I watch are related to inking and publishing for comics and zines or brush creation. Most are not directly affiliated with AS as I believe that process and techniques are much more important than the actual application..but....
There are some interesting ones

It's difficult to recommend must-see videos, as the subject matter varies greatly depending on what you're looking for.

for exemple, this two specific videos are "must seen", if you new in Affinity and french :

because because they show a good overview of the interfaces and possibilities, but for someone who is already familiar with the software or who does not understand French, they are not necessarily interesting.

I just found a very long( 2 hrs, 47 min) tutorial for using Affinity 3.0 Pixel Studio. It goes from setting up your tool bar, context tool bar, panels, tool bar, etc, bringing in a file and completing a basic improvement to that photo. It was excellent, in my opnion. It is by Artist Wright and is titled "Affinity V3 Pixel Studio Tutorial for Beginners, (Full Course)"
