The ultimate Pen and Node tool tutorial for Affinity Designer. Its a deep dive and you will learn everything step by step. Starting from the basics all the way up to advanced.
For those using version 2, don't worry there hasn't been any real changes to this Pen Tool.
Note: when I mention to go to the 'STUDIO" drop down menu, in V2 you would go to the 'WINDOW' drop down menu (at the top).
