Procreate
I really liked this course. It gave me lots of ideas to create my own illustrations. I often struggle with creative block and I feel like simpler exercises and a not-so-complex style help with that.
Me encanta como dibujas, como explicas, me encantó este cursoooo
This has been a wonderful stylistic exercise and departure from my normal semi-realism. I needed inspiration for E-commerce based illustrations, but didn't want to make vector art and this was just what I was looking for.
I was disappointed with this course because I found that the explanations were not pedagogical. The stages were not really shown step by step. Many techniques were evoked without being explicitly taught. I also regretted that the brushes weren't shared, as there were many things, particularly the textures, that I wasn't able to reproduce.
That said, I salute the enthusiasm of the teacher, who is radiant.
Very helpful and a good guide in procreate.
