Read MoreI've been professionally drawing and inking comics for a few years now and was looking to add coloring to my skill set. I had only a very basic knowledge of Photoshop, and this course proved to be an extremely helpful starting point. The videos are clear and easily manageable, and the downloadable tools and presets offered are invaluable. I'm so glad I found this course online and am very thankful for the generosity of Mr. Russell to put all this out there for people wanting to start learning how to digitally color comics. I will recommend this course to anyone I can as often as I can. -Robert Gill

Read MoreThis course is very thorough, it really is a huge help for anyone who is serious about learning and creating on the next level. I think the information, is well worth the price. Speaking personally I attended "art school" and so many of the tips and basic information holds so much more value. This course is also well designed and easy to navigate through and the downable content is solid. I'm completely satisfied and happy with this course! TIME TO CREATE
