Jesús Félix-Díaz, better known as Poloverde, is a Peruvian illustrator and character designer who has worked on projects for Asus, Inca Kola, and Milo. In each of his illustrations, he shows his impactful style, full of personality and color.
In this course, Poloverde teaches you how to develop a character from scratch as well as how to present it, taking into account the product and the brand. You’ll be using Procreate to create a character from basic structures and shapes.

A mí no me gusto, el curso se llama "Diseño de personajes para marcas en Procreate".
Jamás vi un porqué y sobre todo un "COMO" se diseña un personaje para una marca.
¿En qué te basas?, como lo construyes? como empiezas con la conceptualización? como vas dando personalidad o algo? Solo es el dibujando caritas y expresiones con figuras geométricas, que se inventó en ese momento. (encuentras cosas mejores en YT)
Me siento decepcionado y algo estafado.
