This course does nothing to teach you design or creation of characters as advertised. The creator doesn't tell you what tools hes using, how hes doing things or how to develop a well designed character. He simply shows you how he draws with photoshop. he does give good insight into what he thinks about in the dev process. But thats all, i could find better tutorials on youtube.

there wasn't a lot of information about the specific tools that were being used, although I do like the beginning of the course with creating detail about the character and how that can fit in. Future note, also slow down its a bit difficult to keep up.

This was a good match for me. Having studied fine art and having a good understanding of drawing, I was able to fully comprehend the tutor. I love his narration, and telling us about his train of thought, his thought process while sketching and giving pointers as to how better sketch your character with a story in mind that is interpreted in the drawing.
Some areas of the video were completely blurred and following the tutor and the drawing was really difficult since this is about drawing mainly. Last bits were a little long and could have been recorded a little faster, especially since artist spoke less while fleshing out the final details.
Happy overall.

No visible information about software settings, key inputs, document sizes, and real-time timers for the speedpainting.

Not really what I was expecting, but still good. I thought it was going to be more real-time follow along, but the process was still valuable to see.
