It’s a nice course but a bit annoying that it skips many steps and explanations. It would be nicer if it was more didactic. Also another thing is that the course is not in English and it makes it very difficult to follow, no one told you this before enrolling in it

PlusWhile the person is great at art, the course isn't in English with the audio for the class and there's no way to get a voice dub voice over. Difficult to follow along if you aren't a Portuguese speaker. Wish this course made this more clear prior to buying it.
