Ce n'est ni un cours sur Procreate, ni d'illustration, ni de dessin, ni de character design. Il montre son processus de travail en allant trop vite pour que l'on puisse comprendre les étapes, et ne les livre pas toutes (il modifie son illustration sans expliquer les étapes). On ne sait quel pinceau et réglages utiliser. Ce cours est destiné aux artistes sachant utiliser Procreate, dessiner et illustrer. Néanmoins, ils auront l'impression que le prof ne livre qu'à moitié ses secrets de création.
