Escolhi este curso porque gostei do estilo do Emi. Ele explica muito bem e tem um conhecimento técnico de ilustração e lettering. Ele mostra todas as etapas do processo criativo do artesanal até o digital com detalhes. Porém, na parte de referência, apesar de falar de suas inspirações, que gostei muito, na parte gráfica dos layouts ele fala somente do pintrest, pensei que ele daria referências de livros, PDF ou páginas específicas de modelos tradicionais.

A ver gente, a mí me gusta mucho el estilo de Emi y explica muy bien en el curso, sin embargo siento que el paso más importante es que ese sea tu estilo de ilustración porque como concepto de aplicación y maquetación de packaging, el curso está súper bien explicado, pero si vienes a que te enseñe paso a paso su proceso de ilustración, este curso no es para ti. Seguro tendrá otros enfocados a esa parte del proceso creativo y me encantaría tomarlos también. ¡Gracias, Emi!

En mi opinión, el curso es demasiado básico, se salta los pasos más importantes como técnicas aplicadas después del boceto y como aplicarlas.
Tampoco te muestra como mejorar el boceto, en una el boceto es básico, en el otro video el boceto está casi perfecto. Lo mismo es con la etiqueta digitalizada, del boceto final, pasa ya al producto retocado y finalizado.
aprendes poco o nada.
