thus far i like it. this is just the beginning though

Narrator's accent is very thick, it would be helpful if subtitles or a transcript were provided.
By Mike Harvey on 6/16/2025
For an absolute beginner this course would be very useful. Like other reviewers though I found the French accent impenetrable at times. In addition, if I understand what Nicholas says correctly, he's using a mouse rather than a graphics tablet and tilt/pressure sensitive stylus so this means that he was unable to demonstrate the full capabilities of the various brushes. All in all, for a beginner course it's OK but far from comprehensive. Having said that, a fully comprehensive course for a program as versatile as Krita is probably impossible.

A little hard to understand. The instructor has a very heavy accent, I will have watch it a few more times to totally get what he is saying. But I have learnt a lot so far. Things are getting better. Lack of clarity on some parts of instruction. No way to test theories while in the class. I tend to get lost while I'm using the app.
By Surendran K on 10/2/2023
Language and expression is not clear. Though the class is good, difficult to understand pronunciation which is not universal. I make sense not by hearing what the teacher says but by watching his mouse actions. partially disappointed

Little bit background noise, rest is good.

subtitles would have been helpful

I have used Krita without any training for about 5 months. I am really enjoying learning some of the basics that I didn't understand how they worked and now have those "Ah, that's what it does" moments....(smile)

hard to understand, but i am hearing impaired so the accent makes it harder for me
