I learned the basics of Procreate from the course as I was very new to Procreate. because the main course was in Spanish but I was listening to the English version there were long pauses in between sentences. However that is not a big deal. Also If the teacher had added more projects and in action lessons than spending long time showing books that he likes, I could have benefited much more. Thanks.
