@lilith said in Affinity Designer vs VectorStyler:
In terms of learning, there are a lot of 'AD' video tutorials on YouTube, but almost none video tutorials of 'VS'; So it's difficult for beginners to get started with VS
Well, nothing against YouTube videos, VS Vimeo videos have helped me
in one case or another. I found them quite good in terms of length and
execution, with a brief explanation of one feature.
But i think we shouldn't ignore the size of the user base for both
programs, which is probably one of the reasons why there are more
videos for Affinity.
Many YouTube tutorials are also created with the intention of making a
few bucks, which only makes sense with a sufficiently large audience.
One shouldn't underestimate the work that a tutorial, a YouTube video,
requires.
I also think that potential VS users should watch Illustrator videos
instead, as many things work similarly.
Not knowing Illustrator, because I didn't like it (this was before the
subscription), was my biggest hurdle when getting started. I came from
Corel Draw.
So, in my opinion, VectorStyler is more for people who already have
some advanced knowledge of creating vector graphics.
Beginners can also easily be referred to the tutorial section here in the forum,
where they can get a good overview of the options and how to use them.
