Reviews
A course by Jean Fraisse
After finishing his studies in graphic design in Paris, and getting rejected from the city's top animation schools due to his lack of artistic skill, Jean Fraisse decided to teach himself illustration and began using this art form in his work for advertising agencies. He then decided to take the leap into freelancing and started working for major clients like Marinela and Televisa.
In 2015, he discovered HuevoCartoon and has worked for them as an art director ever since. He also developed the 2D video game, Elixir.

É um curso muito bom, a única coisa ruim é a qualidade do vídeo, você mal consegue ver os detalhes por causa da baixa resolução

It's a really good course; the only bad thing is the quality of the video; you can barely see the details because of the low resolution
