Come prima parte spiega molto poco. Ancora non ha spiegato l'impostazione dei pennelli. Forse lo spiega nei video successivi. Inoltre siccome non è nella mia lingua faccio molta più fatica a comprendere alcune spiegazioni

Definitely a beginner course with some great tips and tricks. The link to the exercises in one of the steps is broken, but the files were available for download at the end.
