Great course!
Lots of clear and solid information on creating and illustrating a story. The visual examples that illustrated his points were stunning. I had not heard of any of these illustrators and am eager to check out more of their work.

This course was awesome start to finish. Great information, great examples. Tons of useful advice and techniques for thinking outside of the hamster wheel that is your brain's comfort zone.
I hope I can start adding at least some of all the advices here, it sure opened my eyes in many things. Loved it :)
Really helpful and thought provoking but I would love to be able to print off every slide for reference, would this be possible?
Pragmatic approach, some excellent advice, great assignments, Lee White does a fantastic job as usual.
