Muito bom este curso, porque o professor ensina a criação de cartoons nos dizendo a todo o momento que desenhar cartoons é se divertir durante todo o processo, sem a ansiedade de fazer um desenho perfeito inicialmente. Isso ajuda a soltar o traço e realmente estou me divertindo muito ao fazer este curso.
