That's like creating a perfect girlfriend 😃
Nicely done Drue
I loved this video thank you
Es wäre ja wirklick toll, wenn es die Videos auch auf Deutsch gäbe. Denkt mal drüber nach!!!
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!
How do you get the brush to stay when editing? Mine is invisible for some reason
Great tutorial! Thank you very much!!
Just purchased affinity and this tutorial is just what i needed. Thanks for the workflow and info my man
What did you use to live stream the iPad and your camera?
learned a lot, thank u for the knowledge
I really want to know what his girlfriend said after he invaded the inside of her nose lol, but awesome tutorial. Trying to watch tutorials over and over again to really get a grasp of affinity and yours helped a lot.
This perhaps the best YouTube Affinity video I have seen. Truly the best. Thanks.

Drue is literally the reason I wanted to be a photographer
Came across you by accident really enjoyed your works out great voice to listen to not boring like some you definitely had an advantage with this your girlfriend already looks great thanks again.
Really well done! I like the focus on subtle changes that enhance the photo.
Thank you for the tutorial!
OMG, this guy is amazing! I could watch him edit all day!!
Affinity for Android pleasee, because not all people have Apple devices.
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!
The Add Preset is bottom right, not left….if you want to edit for clarity.
Great tutorial. Thank you.

Awesome tutorial man..
I don't even own an iPad (nor do I want one) but it's so easy to pick your techniques on iPad and apply them to the desktop version. thank you!
Hello drue! Thanks for the video! What settings do u use to export for Instagram usung affinity photo?
101 in how to insult your girlfriend accidentally! Great tutorial though!
Appreciate the iPad-friendly aspect ratio!
Very nice video, but the video in video overlaps the important toolbar of affinity 🙁
Nice tutorial, no crazy playing around found on your YouTube channel. Thank you.
Very well done. Thank you for showing.

Unfortunately Affinity for iPad cannot be installed on iPad Air model. It is only for advanced models. Wish it’d change.
Nice workflow demo … thanks.
Such a good work from Drue, thanks!
