A great course. English version a little glitchy with the voice but contents wise very useful saved me a huge learning curve. I do mainly concept development to assist real artists develop work from there. This course also helped me to decide which generative AI platform to use. David Garrido is definitely someone I follow and I will be looking at more of his other courses.
