Excelente curso aprendes conceptos básicos de photoshop y absolutamente nada de pintura y dibujo así se enfoca en lo realmente relevante me encantó❤️ Es emocionante ver un artista muy reconocido y famoso se basa en enseñar cómo usar bien el formato para exportar para imprimir es excelente. Todo el audio se escucha como si estuviera sonando en una radio y tapado, es hermoso ese estilo para hacer el resto de los videos! también me gustó que en el vídeo de introducción el audio es muy nítido
