This course is one of the first ones anyone new to drawing should take. It made me feel like I was welcomed in this creative world, and gave me permission to share my own creative voice within it.
The prompts were a wonderful way to get over the fear of the blank page, and gives you a direction to face when discovering what your drawings want to say.
The mindset advice and perspectives are make this course invaluable.
Alfonso's ideas are magic you need to see for yourself.

PlusSuper cool and relaxing! Alfonso's work is inspiring. Thanks!

Alfonso tiene mucho carisma y el curso es interesante, aunque es muy para iniciarse en el dibujo. No me convenció mucho que no brinde herramientas técnicas, solo instrucciones para dibujar cada semana. El curso es útil si aún no se tiene el hábito de dibujar todos los días o casi todos los días.
