BARDZO FAJNY KURS. IDEALNY NA POCZĄTEK.
Thank you for the great course. I've learned the importance of shadow and light. However, I felt it might not be suitable for illustration beginners. Also, I thought some of the shared files were a little different from what was demonstrated in the video.
Learning new ways of how to use the eraser was eye-opening. it was also a helpful course for people -beginners like me- who are afraid of working with shadow and light .
Lo recomiendo mucho, me ayudo demasiado con el uso de procreate y sobre todo conocer su proceso creativo
Processo de criação bem explicado com exercícios simples para entender a técnica. Fácil executar.
Gostei muito!
