I am big fan of all courses from this author! So i am pretty excited about this one too

By Michal Huniewicz on 9/25/2020

Although this could have been more accessible for newbies like me (brush settings, how to work with the brush etc., edge control), the course has taught me a lot, thank you!

By Sarawadee OiL Udomkarnjananan on 8/24/2020

Should have water effect too! It would be better if the instructor show his brush on the same setting (page).. But overall, everything is perfect..

By MEHMET DERAN on 8/15/2020

Perfect! Thank You..

By William Sampson on 7/15/2020

I enjoy all of Hardys courses. Theyre easy to follow, informative, and have transformed my art completely in a very short amount of time. Hes a great teacher presents things in a way that are very easy to remember and apply.

By Julie Nicholls on 7/13/2020

By Brandon M. Scrushy on 7/1/2020

2 Lessons and I've already learned some amazing tricks!

By Pablo Rojas on 6/6/2020

Great course, really liked the lessons to create special effects/materials.

By Eleonora Guggeri on 6/6/2020

ho seguito altri corsi di Hardy Fowler e li ho trovati pi dettagliati rispetto a questo, sebbene utilissimo per chi alle prime armi, per mi dispiace che non si veda tutto lo schermo, che non permette di capire con che livelli di opacit e flusso sta lavorando.

By Angel Velez on 4/2/2020

such great tips and trick and efficiency techniques, and great cool example pieces Hardy is the best!

By Steve Parks on 3/22/2020

Yes, it was a very good match for me. I'm especially happy to see how I can use the hue/saturation adjustment layers individually and within a group. Also, the magical and elemental effects with the sword module is an excellent tool!
