First week and last week were pretty useful with some good tips from the videos... the other weeks not so much.

I believe that exaggerated the amount of minutes per video and lack of theory, but it was still a good course.

While the information given by Fran was useful, the part where other artists talk is not presented well.

it was cool learned a few new things from the teachings however the critique system is kinda lacking

It is cool. but it does not give any certificate of completion at the end as other courses do.

It was really fun and beneficial, hoped the method of grading was a bit different though.

Instruction was through watching other characters designers talk about their process.

It was a fun course, not sure about the educational content, but it was fun.

Good course, fun to do, but the video quality is terrible.

it takes too long to receive reviews

The video content for this course is quite boring and poorly edited. I think they could have condensed these sections into shorter videos. Also, the class assignments are a bit too vague and some students mark unfairly if you don't have good drawing skills. The marking is easy but the subjective nature will frustrate some.

I wish this course was about the abstract design of a character: goals, archetypes etc... and not about drawing.

Okay, so I chose this because I thought it would be easy peasy, this was my first course. Turned out it was a bad experience. The tutorial isn't really a tutorial. This is a series of interviews, where they tell you the process of what they put on the paper. The process of what they're currently doing, not how they actually got there. Because we obviously can't see inside their brains to understand their process. So we lack the thinking part. Where we could have learnt something, if it wasn't a bad tutorial. The explanations from the interviewees usually goes like this: Uhm let's do this. Ski jacket on a guy with a beard. Or a woman with a beard. Can be both. Also I usually don't know what to start with so I start it out like this. (scribbles a whole character). There. it's done now. How am I supposed to learn from this?? These videos are low quality, the designs are low quality. If I wanted to learn how to make an absolutely abstract alien for adventure time, congratulations, now I can do that. But I can only do that exact alien, nothing else because it wasn't explained. Yet they ask for more complicated assignments than what you've been shown, and this is the part where I feel like that beginners would sweat blood and cry on the floor. Awful, just awful.

To do the homework for this course, you must be a graphic artist experienced in Maya 3D software or Autodesk. This was never mentioned in the course requirements. I am not an artist. I can't do the homework assignments.

Worst specilization and support
