I really loved this course. The way Jorge explains the tips and techniques to improve as animators goes beyond the technical aspect, he talks about all the stuff that surrounds the animation work and how to balance it and be happy in the process.

In general, I loved this course. I think everything is well explained, and it's very easy to understand. By doing this course, I figured out that I still need to learn more about the basic stuff before being able to follow the activities/exercises on this course, but even so, I still learned a lot which made me very happy. I hope you guys can develop a beginner version of this course.
