Plusme gusto el curso es practico muy informativo solo que se podría explayar un poco mas en el uso de los materiales y brush. para ser un surso para iniciantes se podria dar un poco de mas ejemplo como dije en el uso de las herramientas. por otro lado me gusto mucho pero me faltaria hacer mi proyecto final pero me tomare mi tiempo para ello :P
