I loved it.
Hermoso curso, te muestra distintas posibilidades para crear.
¡Buen curso para inspirarse y descubrir que todo a nuestro alrededor es dibujable!
Me encantó!
Nada melhor do que aprender direto com os artistas que a gente admira e é fã, como a PowerPaola. O curso é objetivo e direto e me deixou bem empolgado para maratonar as aulas. Cada módulo que eu assistia fazia com que eu tivesse novas ideias para compor meu próprio diário de viagem, do meu jeito.
