Read MoreWill Terry did an excellent job going through the basic functions of photoshop. I luckily already know quite a bit of photoshop, but still learned quite a handful of nifty tips and tricks. I appreciated his walk through and equipping you to get started with drawing. I was also mindblown by the animation walk through! Well done with this course!

Read MoreThe videos were broken up really well, which made it easy for me to fit it into my schedule. If i wanted to watch a video on my lunch break, or right before going out, i didnt have to worry about if i had time to start one, and then find a good stopping point if i didnt get to finish it. The line work that was used for the examples was really nice too; engaging, but not too busy.
