En general está bien, aunque me hubiese gustado que empezara desde 0, desde el boceto hasta el acabado final, sin saltarse pasos o no haciéndolos en tiempo real.

Gostei bastante do curso! Pude aprender sobre uma série de ferramentas do Procreate que eu não dominava ou desconhecia para usar na pintura. O pacote de brushes que o Erick disponibilizou foi super útil, mas senti falta dele detalhar um pouco mais quais brushes utilizava em cada momento ou mesmo como usar determinada ferramenta do app. Precisei voltar algumas vezes para pegar esses detalhes. No entanto, de forma geral, curti!
