Aunque se le nota que dibuja muy bien, a la hora de explicar las cosas deja mucho que desear, abarca muchas cosas lo cual es algo excelente pero no viene bien acompañado de consejos útiles y técnicas para mejorar el pintado; me veo muchas veces en la situación de buscar información en otras fuentes para entender lo que la artista está haciendo.

Step by step process on how to draw eyes in variations and applying them to the male face helped a lot. Between the lesson and the anime eyes I have in my books to use as references helps with my character concept art by a huge leap.

Desde pequeña he sido aficionada al manga y al anime y también a dibujar con este tipo de estilo. Con el tiempo, tuve que dejar de lado mi afición, pero este verano me dije que, si el dibujo me hacía feliz ¿por qué no seguir con mi afición y mejorar? Quería un curso que me enseñara principalmente a colorear correctamente mis dibujos (sombras, composición de colores, etc) y este curso me ha enseñado muchísimo más. He aprendido a crear escenarios, fondos, composición, técnicas de ilustración desde el planteamiento del personaje hasta su ilustración final, entre otras muchas cosas. Personalmente, el estilo de dibujo de la profesora me gusta mucho, es muy dulce y pulido. Si que es cierto que hay videos muy largos, pero entiendo que la técnica requiere su tiempo, y personalmente prefiero tener un video largo al que puedo aumentar la velocidad o ir avanzando si ya conozco algo, que no un video corto que me deje con dudas. Otra cosa que me ha gustado es que proporciona muchos materiales de sus videos (siluetas, bocetos, técnica de gestos, ...). He podido practicar poco pero ya he visto una gran mejoría en mi técnica, así que en cuanto pueda dedicarle más tiempo, seguro que mis dibujos mejoran muchísimo. ¡Gracias!

Some videos have music that puts you to sleep, in addition to the lecture. The information is explained simply enough, but it takes a lot to stay awake and focused.

Definitely not for beginners. The instructor already expects you to have a firm understanding of stroke confidence, line art, color theory and how to see like an artist. Very brief "overview" sessions of these concepts with no actual "how or why" she's doing what she's doing.

It would be helpful if she would edit out the ‘um’s and things like that to reduce the unnecessary time.

So far the course has been great. There has been so much good information presented in a way that is easy to understand and apply. I feel I have learned a lot in just the first section and my drawings have already improved. And there is so much more to go!

Je suis très satisfaite pour le moment, la professeure semble très gentille. Peut-être juste le son qui pourrait être de meilleur qualité, mais c'est vraiment le seul petit soucis.
