If you are struggling in illustrator how to color your character, what are the techniques used to draw color and shadow then this course is for you.
Note: Instructor will not teach you about light and shadow, he will show you technique how to draw light and shadow as instructor is assuming that you already know about it.
I was struggling in drawing characters and did not know how to do it. Instructor will teach you from point to point without beating around the bush. Once you know all the techniques, after that all you have to do is practice and practice. He will teach you about all the tools that will be used to draw your character. Hope this review will be useful to you.

This course taught me everythin' I needed to know about Adobe Illustrator as a 2D animator- saved me the time & effort to scour the internet for scraps (moreover it feels there's no source material for Illustrator available anywhere with special regards to 2D animation)- all in one place in a structured format. Can't be thankful enough! Besides, I think it covers all the required basics & foundations of Adobe Illustrator- the crux of it, if you will- even outside of 2D animation, so it's a great place to learn Illustrator anyway.

This is an amazing course but not enough, You have to make a complete tutorial both on Adobe illustrator and After effect at the same time as "Ultimate guide to become animation expert".

Lessons we're well presented. Most of the meat in this course is in Section 5. Section 1-4 was the Illustrator essentials part. I would have liked to have a quick project utilizing the lessons from the section just finished. The artwork used for the examples in section 5 could have been better quality.

The course has nothing in common with characters. The version of the illustrator is from 15 years ago. Waste of time and money. For this price you can get a quite good and extensive basic to advanced illustrator course.
