In this tutorial video, I explain the basics of symmetry with symbols on the perfect example of symmetry - Snowflakes.
Quickly and easily create great-looking snowflakes with lines, rectangles, or a circle/ pie shape at the base thanks to the extremely versatile power of symbols.
Most of the functionality shown in the video can be created with other software tools such as Adobe's Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.

![Affinity Designer Tutorial - Designing a Unicorn dot-to-dot illustration
In this video tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com, I will turn a quick sketch into a dot-to-dot illustration.
This video was requested. I created some similar designs in the past and included them as activity pages in the weekly letters to my granddaughter.
I prepared a quick sketch of a unicorn earlier. In Affinity Designer I use the pen tool to create a rough shape that I can easily edit with the node tool. I use the pressure curve to taper the more detailed line art.
My plans to use a textured brush as well as symbols for the numbers turned out to be mistakes - but that happens [especially while you try and keep the recording going ;) ].

![Affinity Designer Timelapse - Have some Fun with Textured Image Vector Brushes
A short video from 2Dgameartguru.com using gradients and patterns as textured image brushes in Affinity Designer.
This video is a quick creation of a brush pattern and shows the flexibility of the brushes. The brush pattern is based on a tiling gradient [left and right have the same colour] with a white pattern and a shadow shape inside to make it look like a straw. Set to repeat in the brush settings the pattern will be tiled along the path - for some fun effects.
