Reviews
A course by Aarón Martínez
Aarón Martínez is an illustrator and designer specializing in 3D and industrial design. His work is incredibly varied, ranging from the creation of images for printed media to web design and 3D printing.
In his spare time, he enjoys creating characters and their worlds, basing his ideas on the question, "What do they do when no one is watching?" He enjoys playing with words and contradictions and always tries to add a surreal touch to his storytelling.
Aarón also enjoys observing the small details of things because it helps him understand how to model. Although most of his projects are destined for print or web, he treats each piece as if it were going to be physically reproduced in 3 dimensions.
He has worked for Coca-Cola, Nike, Miroculus, and Aquacific, among others.

Deberían actualizar este curso usando alguna versión mas nueva. Sinceramente tuve que recurrir a youtube para buscar "opciones y menús" que se utilizan porque la versión que usan es una anterior y la 2024 es muy distinta en algunos apartados.
