I'm a graphic designer, illustrator and design teacher for more than 10 years. I create clever logos and cute illustrations, I like to inspire, share my knowledge and make people think and laugh!
I use Inkscape, an open source graphic design program in most of my design, and I was teaching this to my students too in a college in Budapest.
I am constantly sharing knowledge about design and life as a freelancer. I teach on Udemy since 2014 and work together with some of my friends now, to create better courses together by sharing my online teaching experience
Exploring new ways to create and sharing my knowledge is what I like the most - so don't be afraid to ask, I'm here to teach!.

Would have been better if spent just a few extra minute to explain the tool that was being used.

Yes the structure of each lecture is good and the delivery and pace is also good for a newbie like myself.

Great tutor, good fun and really accurate with art. A joy to learn from. I was utterly rubbish at computer art before doing this guy's courses, and now I am much improved, almost ready now to use my own art in my own games. I am very proud.

Muy buen curso, con solo seguir las lecciones y con practica pude avanzar bastante, el idioma no fue obstáculo, entendí algo de lo que dijo.

I mostly watched this to learn how to create seamless tilesets in Inkscape. The tileset in the course is simpler than I would like, but the technique for making it seamless works and can be applied to more complex art, so I can't really complain.

The instructor was very knowledgeable about the topic and showed professional tips that only a skilled craftsman would know. I highly recommend this course.

The course is good, and It is possible to be better if it could show the results of a section before teaching them (students need a visible learning goal).

I've enjoyed this course a lot, helps me understand conception of fast and useful way to product game assets. Could be a bit more longer and specific but over all - lots of great informations
By Nuria Mansilla on 1/22/2019
I liked it a lot, very practical and applicable. I have already done several courses with István and he never disappoints me. Congratulations.
By Fernando Soares da Silva Coutinho on 11/6/2018
I am first watching the entire course, and the second last I will try to create my own drawings. But I am very pleased that the instructor presented the process from start to finish, really arrived at an applicable and quality result.
