This course is super good, I love the teacher's ability to make complex things seem easy, the practicality and applicability of each lesson. Thanks to this course I was able to realize many of my mistakes, including my posture when drawing. I have always believed that before entering a program you should learn how to draw with pencil and paper, the agility between the eye and the hand will always come first. Thank you so much Rodrigo. You are an excellent professional.

I have a lighting store but I have a lot of difficulty designing them. With this course I was able to get a better idea of how to start putting my ideas on paper.
I still need to train a lot but it's a good start.
I recommend
