Very good explanation for beginners like me in art! The voice can be a little bit clear, but it's not that big of a deal! Amazing work and thanks for giving this course!!

Lo mejor de este curso es la manera que enseña para pensar en módulos de imagen que pueden ser fácilmente modificables para un nuevo escenario.
Es muy básico en el uso del programa pero eso anima a empezar a usarlo sin la presión de que no se sabe lo suficiente y por lo tanto no se puede hacer algo útil con él.

Really helpful course. All other courses I attended about Inkscape focused on familiarizing the user interface of the program (which is not a bad thing), but this one focused more on asset creation for 2d games. It answered a lot of my doubts. I feel confident enough to make my own game assets with Inkscape now.

I like the simplicity in the teacher's approach. Calm pace, simple and clear explanations. Simple is always good.

Estou aprendendo muito. Mas acho que melhora se a imagem da tela de trabalho do professor estiver mais definida. E também se os movimentos do cursor forem mais lentos (ou se o professor evidenciar bastante onde está levando o cursor).

Well explained from beginning to end. This course took me from 0 to almost superhero in a short space of time. Personally, I'm using this knowledge for a top secret project I'm doing that's in no way related to videogames. I'm benefitting hugely!

It seems to be a very well thought-out course. I like the clear, lean instructions and the art examples

OK, a very good basic intro to Inkscape, but not too much detail about gaming Missing things like perspective, lighting, positioning, and a lot of the time, the instructor mumbles and goes off on his own direction doing stuff not explaining each step.

The resources to this course can be downloaded, but I cannot open them. Inkscape 10 (current version) dont like them. Maybe because the course is made for an older version of Incscape. Not everything explained are correct in Incskape, so one have to be alert and solve the discrepensies oneself. Things are going a bit fast, so one need to know Incscape in advance.

I thoroughly enjoyed the class, the instructor is obviously an expert with inkscape. I like the advice that he offers as a digital designer and all the time saving tips. I learned enough to start making a few things right away. It will take quite a bit of practice to get good, but I have all the tools I need from this class to keep practicing.

He is teaching in a simple way, but not too simplified. Giving you freedom to think, rather than turning into copy pastaing all he does.

I really liked this course.
I was impressed by the possibility's of Inkscape and the ease of working with it.
István did a great job on showing us step by step how to make great looking graphics.
I can definitely recommend this course.

Very excellent flow of information. How to create objects is presented very well. I like the presenters style, pace and especially his creativity. The concept of modular design and creating multiple objects from one is excellent. The on screen action the instructor takes is usually with control keys and sometimes hard to follow. I have had to do a bit of backtracking. All in all, this course is well worth the time and money.

It was a nice demonstration of what Inkscape can do but it was hard to follow what actions were being taken to do the work. It would be nice if there was an overlay on the video that shows what key strokes or mouse clicks were being used. Some slower, step-by-step tutorials would help cement the ideas and concepts.
