Não é um curso técnico, o recomendo pela workflow geral, que pode ser aplicado em outros softwares, como o Blender que utilizo e outros editores de imagem. Por não focar muito na parte técnica, seria bom ter mais referências de storytelling e composição. As legendas para o português não estão muito boas e há muitos erros de tradução.
