My goal is to empower unapologetic idealists through art, design, and education.I’m an American/Portuguese interdisciplinary artist recently returned to Rome, Italy after eight years in Asia and Africa. After decades of experience as a digital artist, in 2021 I reconnected with my fine art roots. My mixed media drawings are inspired by the ambitious mission statements of the world’s top...
So far so good!
The title says that this course is to teach a "Quick and Easy, Unique Illustration". It fails because of the scattered organization.
Not enough time on any one topic for learning. I had hoped from the preview that the course would cover illustration techniques, but after talking about all the possible programs and some of the basics (which I already knew), every technique section went into time-lapse making it impossible to see what was being done. The time-lapse also denied us the opportunity to hear why things were done the why they were. The creative process was completely missing.
There is also too much self-promotion when giving examples of how to profit your artwork. That is not in the course title or preview. It should be a separate course.
I am so disappointed that I learned very little of what I purchased the course for.
Good match so far😄Loved this class! Professor Palana is a great teacher. Thank you~
I enjoyed the pace and examples of how to use the tools and where to find images! Thanks, great intro to illustrator course!
it is very helpful
I would have liked to get more from this course, considering it lasted just a few hours, probably it wasn't a good idea filling up with 30 min. podcast :/

I took the course and didn't learn much from it. Illustrator have so much more possibilities and uses and I honestly believe that the design was poor. The instructor is pleasant and explains well but the level is not very high and I found it rather useless.
