I have spent several years learning different kinds of software while freelancing personal and commercial projects. Along the way I have collected a bunch of useful knowledge that can be translated into engaging video tutorials. So while I continue to create zany animated adventures, I want to share with you what I have learned. I have worked for several companies...
Nice one, I like it
ok
Good course.
All was explained very well.
There's some interesting examples people could use.

I began to watch this as i am looking to use this software for a number of projects i am working on.
I felt a lot of the important concepts were being rushed through. The ProCreate he used to create "Chad" is on an Apple platform, i use Android, so no access to that to copy.
Plus no indicator of how to create, he just showed something that was already done.
Plus, no access to files he was talking about.
Makes it harder to follow i'm afraid - sorry
