    And I was able to download the dodge and burn. Where else can I find the macros for eyes, catchlight, local and others. Also, you are a lifesaver. I’m currently only working with the iPad for now. And this helps greatly!

    I love Drue so much, his voice feels soft and comfy, he always has a smile on his face, and unlike other tutorials where people are telling us to follow their lead, Drue always encourages to be creative and act on our own!
    On the of all that, he's insanely talented
    Love this guy!

    Unfortunately Affinity for iPad cannot be installed on iPad Air model. It is only for advanced models. Wish it’d change.
