While the instructor clearly knows pixel art but cannot teach it. Instead of learning how to create pixel art, I'm just watching him do things while he mentions most things in passing. He started off with the basics, I learned how to make do lines, curves, boxes and circles. Then we go straight into drawing complete objects with shading.
From reading the course description, this course is clearly for me. However, you clearly needs to have a lot of expierence.
Also, he mentions posting stuff in the Q&A but appearnly isn't active.

Estou adorando!
I'm loving it!

The instructor is super dry, his accent is hard to understand at times and he does not explain the concepts fully.

I am not a beginner to computing, but I haven't studied Krita use before. This introduction has been useful to get me better acquainted with the program.

I'm really loving this course, I've been learning a lot, I wasn't expecting to learn many things related with the world of Pixel Art itself. Video Material: 5/5, Content: 5/5, Video Lenght according with the content presented on it: 5/5.

Incredible explanation. Learned a lot from those videos. Thanks so much.

By Csar Augusto Len on 8/4/2019

Hasta ahora lo veo muy bien. Me gusta que se apoye al Software Libre como Krita, y me es til disponer de substitutos en espaol e ingls. Es el primer curso que adquiero en Udemy, y estoy satisfecho :P.

Ive bought most of the pixel art tutorials. This one is pretty good. I like more talking about why you place and do things. But not bad. I would love more pixel art characters. Villains. People. Heros. Etc etc. just drawing and shading them. Different sizes. 16. 32. 64. Maybe same character in different sizes. I would buy a course just on pixel people and characters. I have no problem recommending this course. There is lots here. He is pretty good. Good artist.

I am impressed so far.

By Khanh Pham on 3/21/2019

The video was very well made and the instruction was quick and details. It is awesome that the instructor, himself would send me a link to communicate with them and with other students as well who are taking his course. The program he use, is the same program that I would like to use and learn.

Todava no lo he terminado, pero ya puedo decir que es el mejor curso de Pixel Art que he visto hasta el momento. Me parece un curso muy profesional, en el que se aprende a trabajar con un software de dibujo muy potente, con secciones organizadas y una buena cantidad de ejercicios prcticos. Se nota que al instructor le gusta ensear y sabe mucho del tema, responde rpido, da buenos consejos sobre temas complejos y corrige los ejercicios (aunque te hayas equivocado un pxel te enva la correccin y es algo que me parece estupendo). El curso est en ingls, pero tiene subttulos tanto en ingls como en espaol. Totalmente recomendado.
