From Sketch to Vector - Affinity Designer Tutorial

I know the Pen Tool can be tricky, but at least you get to work with a cute little cat! 🤗

Turns out my main problem with not being able to use the pen tool as flexibly as I need is the fact that I didn't know Rubber Band option should be on, and Snapping's off. Oh and using ALT to break the line and create a sharp point. Thank you SO much for this video!

Thanks for a great video! I stumbled upon a shortcut for changing direction with the pen tool. I don't use the Alt/Option key at all. Here's what I do:
I draw my first line, either straight or curved. Let go of the mouse button. Click on the square or circle where my first line just ended. From there, if I want a straight line, I move the cursor to the next point, click and release. If I want a curve, I move the cursor to the next point, click and drag. This works for me on Win10 with AD version 2.2.1. I haven't tried this on the Mac yet.

thanks

That was super useful Ally - I have yet to fully master the pen tool at times! The Alt to break the curve is something I forget so easily.
