Instructor Details

placeholder

Aside from being an artist as long as I can remember I started offering a few tutorials on Youtube. Little did I know that by teaching people the fundamentals of art and anatomy i'd begin a new dimension to my career. Being a working freelance illustrator with a youtube channel is hard work, and I wouldn't change a thing. I steadily expanded my work from clients who needed branding to doing work on indie games and apps. i enjoy helping artists and non artist achieve that next level. The road to artistic expression and freedom is paved with hard work and dedication. There are setbacks and monsters to slay , but the rewards are great.

Course introduces a lot of beginner exercises that are very helpful. Unfortunately, it also seems to just be a dump of content that was redone overtime, leaving progression feeling weird and disjointed. For instance, section 8: putting it together is largely a rehash of the first few sections. There may be new content, but you have to fish for it.

Great course! Some parts are a bit slow and repetitive, but overall an amazing learning experience that covers pretty much everything I wanted.

It walks through the basics really well from choosing tablets and exercises to help with familiarizing oneself with the tools
