Blend Tool in Affinity 3: Masterclass + 8 Creative Effects

The new Blend Tool in Affinity 3 is easily one of the most powerful additions in the whole update — and in this tutorial I go through every single setting it has, plus 8 creative designs you can recreate step by step. We start with the basics: both ways to select your shapes, Create Blend Group, Steps vs Distance, Convert to Path, and how to edit the blend path with the Node Tool. Then we get into the creative part — custom letters built from circles, gradient text effects, abstract line art, editable 3D effects, hand-drawn custom lettering, seamless patterns, and how to build your own colour palettes straight out of a blend. Everything stays fully editable. Affinity works non-destructively, so you can change colours, shapes and text at any point without starting over. If this helped you out, a like and a subscribe go a long way — more Affinity tutorials and update breakdowns are on the way. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro — what you'll learn 01:04 The basics: two ways to select shapes 09:16 Custom letters from circles 17:04 Abstract line designs 19:47 Editable 3D effect 21:48 Hand-drawn custom lettering 24:49 Colorful letter design 26:03 Creative letter design 28:13 Building patterns 31:50 Creating colour palettes 33:37 Outro 🎯 KEY SHORTCUTS A — Node Tool B — Blend Tool (custom, see the shortcuts section) G — Gradient Tool T — Text Tool Cmd/Ctrl + G — Group Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + G — Ungroup Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V — Paste style Made in Affinity 3 (formerly Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher). #Affinity #AffinityDesigner #BlendTool #GraphicDesign #VectorArt #affinity3
