Thanks Marco for the excellent training material you have put together. I think I have now 4 of your courses and have always learnt a lot. The last ones about color and illustrating kids book really helped me as it provides a logic that I can apply to trying to bring color into my art… I have one of the multiple forms of colourblindness which has always been a frustrating experience. One thing I still need to figure out is how to apply with a real media such as watercolor or oil the color wheel principles i have learnt because here I have no computer I can rely on
LESSON NOTES

@Marco Bucci you mention an interview in the first lesson but I don’t see it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Yep, this course is just what I needed! Besides artistic guides about making characters and stories it also helps us in the business world of illustration :)
