USP: Sharp and crisp high resolution printouts for sketch pencil drawings, basic shade.

• I wanted to see how Affinity Designer's pixel painting feature set stacked up to Photoshop's with a little experiment. I had created this retro styled Bunny originally in Photoshop and decided to take a crack at it in AD. I was excited with some earlier attempts at painting in AD so I thought a comparison would really reveal it's strengths and/or weaknesses.
• This sealed the deal and digital art has replaced the traditional pen an ink for me. Furthermore the industry has changed to such a degree that more and more clients and artists are demanding digital skills i the design and application of art, and so I saw a significantly under served market in people with existing talent, but lacking digital.
