Paul Gieske
Hi, my name is Paul and I am an IT teacher and an engineer. As a teacher / engineer I can combine my strong technical background with the experience I gained in passing on skills and knowledge to my students.
As a teacher I believe that it students learn better when they are learning actively. That's why I include a lot of practice exercises in my courses.
In addition to teaching and engineering, as a hobby I am enthusiastic about illustrating and 3D modeling.

Até o momento está fluindo fácil e o professor fala pausadamente, isso é ótimo para quem não quer acompanhar as legendas.
By Sam Stricklin
The course instructor is hard for me to understand, and the only subtitle option in auto. It kind of sucks, but the information is helpful.
By Matthew
Instructor is very easy to listen to

I find that this course is very easy to follow and has actually helped me advance quickly.
By April Knight
This is a great course to learn how to use Krita the only suggestion I have is to go a bit slower explaining the shortcut keys you are using or have an option to slow down the tutorial speed.
By Robin Mazur
Thorough, well thought out, good pacing and I'm actually learning something.
