Yes, the instructions are clear and methodical. I'm going to take a break now and practice some of the operations so I have a better grasp. Cheers.

I feel like I understand the program so much more than when I started. This lesson is awesome :)

The sound quality isn't great. Ok content. A lot of 'euh' when you speak. Otherwise good.

Amazing

Excellent pacing--pleasing voice!

By Taro Beckwith on 9/4/2020

Sequencing of lessons seems odd at times. For example, the shortcuts and gestures lesson was near the end of the course, when knowing these would have helped greatly in the beginning (the undo function especially). Seeing as some of the functionality of Procreate is hidden behind gestures and not in visible menus, I would think this info should be covered early. He was using his shortcuts throughout the course, leaving the viewer confused as to what he is doing until the shortcuts and gestures lesson. The masking lesson could have used a little more explanation. Overall, it was an ok introductory course, and I know where to branch out from here

Great detail and very through.

By Levi Asher Cohen on 8/17/2020

I left this rating because the tutorial is precise, its accurate, and it gives every single detail without a single note being missed in case the viewer missed something. I would recommend this tutorial to anyone else whos trying to master using Procreate.
