Un curso estupendo como el anterior de fanzines. Me ha parecido muy interesante para las personas que nos estamos iniciando y buscamos trabajar la creatividad, además de crear el hábito diario y no sabemos por donde empezar
Es genial. Y aprovecho para recomendar el curso de Fanzines, también de Alfonso
