Sketch to Vector in Affinity: Hand-Drawn Type for "Stay Dead"

In this Sketch to Vector lesson, I walk through how I take a rough, hand-drawn type sketch and turn it into clean (but intentionally imperfect) vector lettering in Affinity. Using a real project called Stay Dead, I show my fast, loose approach to drawing type with the pen tool, keeping energy, character, and aggression intact rather than chasing pixel perfection. This is about process, speed, and making work that feels intentional, not polished to death.
