Corso molto utile per chi è alle prime armi con la colorazione con i pennarelli alcolici insegnandoti l'inchiostrazione e la composizione delle luci e ombre sul disegno. Lo consiglio per chi come me ama lo stile manga!

Un curso interesante que te enseña las bases del uso de marcadores a base de alcohol, aunque siento que falta actualización. Te da lo básico para iniciar, no importando la marca de los marcadores. Eso si recomiendo tener un marcador blend para una experiencia completa.
