Very cool course
thank you

By Caitlin Freeman on 9/7/2020

I dont think Ive ever had a more enthusiastic teacher before, but it really helped to keep me motivated!

By Angele Castonguay on 8/10/2020

Well done, I learned a lot. Thank you

By Barbie Hernandez on 7/19/2020

Engaging, easy to understand and follow. I loved that major concepts were condensed into more manageable bites.

By Fatima King on 6/24/2020

I absolutely loved this course, the best thing about it was the end! Now, I will unapologetically watch cartoons for my "OBSERVATIONAL" training on body language! Thank you for the continued support and I hope more students enjoy the course.

Learning something new is always exciting.

By Carl Joseph Jaldon on 6/11/2020

The course is quick, concise and lively; selling point. Topics about gestures are very useful. Could maybe do better with a few more resources and situational examples while still managing to keep lessons short, but overall yeah it's a good course.

By Ashraf on 6/9/2020

This was perfect so far learning about body language and emotions will help me animate even better!!

By Cecile BARITEL-RUET on 5/15/2020

The content is useful, yet insufficient.
I expected digital drawing techniques to get to know how to implement the content of this course.
After learning about the limbic system, I expected to have more information on neuroscience, and more specifically about how humans capture emotions, and maybe an overview on recent research conducted in this area.
I think this course have a good direction, but I may have expected something more to dive deep into the science behind it.

By Isabella Cantu on 5/2/2020

yes, it was amazing for me i learned so much and i cant wait to use what ive learned in my own animated series.

By Karolina Gardziska on 4/26/2020

Short, but useful :)

By Ajiax Wo on 4/26/2020

More examples would be better, especially some explanation of the interacting between characters.
