Our Verdict

The Adobe Illustrator Essentials for Character Design course is a gem for beginners eager to digitize their sketches, offering them essential knowledge on top of a unique overshoot method. While there's room for improvement—namely expanding the intermediate-level content and smoother distribution of character design techniques—its affordability and accessibility cater well to those with limited digital art experience.

What We Liked

Comprehensive coverage of both essential Illustrator tools and character design techniques, benefiting both beginners and those needing a refresher.
Unique overshooting technique for easy coloring and shadowing adds value to the course material.
Deliberate pacing allowing for better retention, especially useful for newcomers to Illustrator.
Engaging presentation style makes learning enjoyable and entertaining.

Potential Drawbacks

Some course content is too rudimentary even for an 'Essentials' title, particularly the initial sections covering basic tools.
A few users desired a stronger character design focus throughout the course, rather than mainly in the last chapter.
Certain users felt that more advanced techniques could have been added to diversify learning and better meet their needs.
