    I'm a beginner going through tutorials and yours are just incredible! Step by step, including description on small actions that you do and how you do them, like square brackets for changing the size of the brush, so easy, yet so precious! Everything is so clear, simply fantastic! Thank you so much!

    I have been struggling to learn Photoshop. Some presenters go too fast, other go too slow. Some start out by talking about photography (which is my are of interest) but end up focusing on graphics. Your pace is just right. Your instructions are clear and concise and you don't waste time talking about stuff that is irrelevant to the lesson. I am subscribing and hope to spend A LOT more time learning from you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!!!!
