I left a 5 star rating because I like the teaching method of the instructor, he doesn't drone on and on. He gets directly to the point in a clear and easy to understand method and is knowledge about Content he is teaching.

I loved the beginning of the course. Shading the image in along side him, I felt like I making amazing artwork. towards the middle I was losing him and right at the end I was totally lost. I had no idea if he wanted me to draw along or just watch.

Also when I try to do the the black and white image without the guidance it looks muddy. I guess that more on my fault for not being a better digital artist.

I really liked the teacher, the course was very streamlined which was nice. I don't know how I feel about this course I'm glad I know about the methods and seeing his design progress, I just can't put it into practice and felt like I haven't improved. Maybe it just wasn't the right course for me.

Incomprehensible, no subtitle in "French"?
Not enough classes, no exercises.

I learned to make a better character, learned to digital paint. I didn't know that, before this course, so I am thrilled.
