New course alert: Design your own printable coloring pages in Affinity Designer (+ FREE assets!)
Design coloring pages you can sell on Etsy, Gumroad, or KDP
I'm so excited to share that my brand new class just dropped:
Design a Printable Coloring Page in Affinity Designer – and yes, it comes with a bunch of FREE vector assets to get you started!
This is a joyful, beginner-friendly class where I walk you through how to create your own beautiful black-and-white coloring page - something you can print, gift to loved ones, or sell as a digital product (hello, passive income!).
No surprise, it comes after my previous article:
