Cours très bien expliqué pour les bases de Procreate. En revanche, il faut déjà connaitre Photoshop pour suivre tous les pas à pas. Il est dommage de ne pas donner les alternatives gratuites sur Affinity qui est désormais gratuit.

learning in a new way of using photoshop and procreate is the thing for me.
Fagostudio's success is based on a combination of shared inspiration and technical innovation.
