At the age of 17 I began a 6th month internship with an animation studio out of Utah. After my internship was up, I was hired on to build backgrounds and to design props and characters for animation projects. I then began to do my own freelance work on the side through networking and using online freelancing sites. Now I...
Yes, it's a good match because I have loved drawing before but this time drawing digitally is one of the things I yearn for.
I look forward to having a Sweet move into this course as I progress.
this course is better for those who wanted to learn about game character design design
Unfortunately, I did not find this tutorial to be very helpful. As someone with some experience creating sprite sheets, I did not learn anything new from this tutorial. Additionally, I found that the creator did not provide much detail or tips on creating a cohesive theme, which made it difficult to follow along. While the tutorial may be helpful for complete beginners, I do not recommend it for those with some experience in sprite sheet creation. Overall, I was disappointed with this tutorial and would not recommend it.
This is an awesome course. Each lecture is very clear and easy to understand and I can see the improvement in my digital art skills.
When I started this course, I didn't know anything about photoshop. I think it is a good introductory course for total beginners who have no idea where to start to make a character.
I've learnt a lot of things such as making a character, making a animation cycle, animating and exporting to unity. The instructor also gives us info about where to use the info we've learnt.
Generally it's a 5/5 course. Would suggest it to anyone who wants to start learning photoshop.
Creating and designing a new type of game board console with its own games...
it's a MUST!!!
lack of tips and tricks, and the tutor's ways of coloring and drawing is time consuming and much effort. I hope he gave us some efficient tools and work

I was expecting some boring lecture, with a boring lecturer, and boring, "I heard it all before" notes that I have to listen to, but this course has started out great, with some very important points that I have not considered in the past. I am looking forward to completing this course and getting on with the next one. Awesome start!
