The courses are well explained, but I had trouble with the module on perspectives. It's still a great training program.

The training is great, I learned a lot of things I didn't know but that I now recognize in comic books! The only small hiccup is that some videos are a bit long for my taste. Poulop is super nice, we all want to have a buddy-teacher like him.

The training is great, but I had a bit of trouble following some concepts at the beginning. Fortunately, the exercises really helped me understand.
