The Affinity Suite is so worth it. Pay a single time and get all the apps on all major OSes instead of the stupid subscription bullshit Adobe tries to lock you into.
-
No Linux support though, which is a bummer these days.
-
so not all major OSes
-
I mean, windows and Mac. So yes, all major OSes. The whole "year of Linux" has been a nice meme... For a few decades now.
-
The world runs on Linux
-
Yeah Linux is absolutely not a major OS (nor will it ever be)

Or Android, so for people who sketch on a tablet they have to use ipad.

Also udemy has some fantastic courses to learn the whole suite, each can be purchased for lifetime access for $10-15 USD. The instructors I bought from are still actively updating their courses and I get all the new stuff, even though I bought when AD was still on v1.3.
If you're looking to learn it's a really affordable way to do it.

Which courses do you recommend?
-
Here's the main one I used to get started.
I've started one on creating abstract art in Affinity that seems pretty good and I have a few others in my learning queue from him on specific parts of affinity that look really good but I haven't done yet.
Him and Lindsey Marsh have a bunch of content out there on the whole suite. I took Lindsey's course on graphic design theory that was pretty good but that course used adobe so i used it more for general concepts. I think either of them would be a good place to start.

Awesome, cheers!

They got bought out by Canva though, so I'm sure the enshittification will follow. Such a shame.
