A really great beginners course. Great explanation into all the tools, layers and effects. I was having a hard time outlining with my pen tool but now I understand how it works correctly. Thank you! Will definitely do more courses.

He speaks clearly and well, is easy to follow. The material is a little light, going through different art styles in the illustration part would have helped, I felt like it was one character with one style in that section.

So far all resource files lead to a 404 error page. Only mac keyboard shortcuts are used. Even so, I did pick up some useful stuff that helped me get started.

I had several problems with the files not downloading and I am still waiting on a response. I thought it would be more hands on. I did learn a few things but I thought there would be more interaction.

I love how you trained in this video... I took another class and it didn't have alot of details as you did. There was still some things that I needed to know but I learned on my own or by watching you handling it. Thank You so much
