Working With Built in Shapes | Getting Started in Affinity | Beginner Friendly Tutorial

#affinity3 #affinity #digitalart
In this beginner friendly tutorial, and the fourth in the Getting Started in Affinity series, we'll take a look at working with the built in shapes in the Rectangle Tool. I'll show you the various ways to create, and manipulate, the shapes as well as share tips and tricks on making both easier. Chapter Markers have been included below so you can jump around or come back to a certain point for reference.
