Very helpful! Can you think of a way these two can be used together?

I'm still very much a Procreate girlie, but I'm missing a pen tool from Photoshop that would allow me to make smoother shapes.

Interesting! Being able to use raster and vector is the same project is amazing. I've never heard of any program allowing that before. I have Inkscape currently for vectors, but I've been considering Affinity as a replacement as it's much too crash happy and not very user friendly. How do you like their interface? I already have Affinity Publisher and love that program so I'm hoping Designer is just as good.

I use a lot of texture in my work. I dislike how Illustrator makes it look jagged - no matter what method is taught. Can you still maintain that realistic texture in Affinity? For example layering realistic grit and linen over art?

Absolutely! It all depends how you “bend” the software to your own personal style. There are vector brushes, pixel brushes, plus you can clip textures to layers.
