it was useful. thank you so much

By Aye Krkpnar on 9/13/2020

If you are a fine arts student who wants to learn digital painting (as I am) this course is enough for start. Good work!!

By Clio Luigi on 9/5/2020

The teacher explains well, but I was unable to visualize the selected layers or brushes during the class. This gets in the way of understanding a lot.

By Vondel on 9/2/2020

he doesnt show or say which tool he is using ....

By Shane Young on 9/2/2020

I wish he would go more into the way he pics colors and stuff

By Giuseppina D'anna on 8/3/2020

The course looks interesting. If I can make an observation, even if I have a 21 "and a half screen, the tools on the top bar are not visible and the side tools are not very visible. I understand, even if I do not have a great knowledge of English, that the brush gave 20% opacity but flow and other brush settings are not mentioned.

By Ryan Lepianka on 8/2/2020

Really this is what I was looking for. This would not be good for someone who does not have a good sense of anatomy and what is going on with a human head.. There are some very nice little tips regarding making really clean, professional looking work. I like the way this guy controls skin tones! I'm using Procreate so no fills! Arggghhh!! It takes a little longer, but it can be done manually though. Overall nice course for $15!

By James Morris on 7/26/2020

So far, it's a well explained concept and good introduction to get people on the same page before diving into the good stuff.

By Vitaly Fetisov on 7/24/2020

I like the introduction but in my oppenion it needed more details.

By Gabriel Melendez on 7/13/2020

Nice straight to the point over the shoulder type of presentation.

By Thiago Noronha Caldas on 7/13/2020

Well, the course is a little bit too basic. But that is to be expected from such a short course. You get some photoshop basics and some concepts but I did not feel it was a good investiment.

By Nathaniel Russell on 7/12/2020

It's missing a lot of the specific steps necessary to follow along. Frequently we don't know what brush is being used, what color, what layer, how much change is being made on an adjustment layer etc. A lot of these issues could be fixed with some pop up descriptions in the videos. I learned a lot, but I had to fight through the presentation to figure it out.
