Me encanta el trabajo de Jun. Recomiendo el curso!
The course is pretty cool, but I'm struck by Domestika's lack of support: they swapped one of the videos for one from another, completely unrelated course. I tried contacting support several times, and each time, I only received automated responses that didn't resolve the issue. I give support a zero rating.
Great course!
An inspiring, beyond magnificent course in the field of digital illustration.
