Just purchased this course..

The course is shading techniques in Photoshop.. Now who exactly this course is meant for gets confusing.

Edges.. The creme de la creme..
After identifying the type of edges and how they relate to form, in the very first video, it was all downhill from there.. The skull used to represent form and value and how they relate to the types of edges had a bunch of tags and lines around it being highlighted (very distracting) while the "author" was describing what shadows and lights go where.. He never once took a mouse or brush to point and identify the values, (you know like the little yellow or red dot used for direction and indication in most video tutorials? You just trust what he is telling you he is seeing with his already trained eye)..

Ok up next is setup in photoshop..
This is a tool bar, this is a layer panel, click this little button to make a layer (WTF) and I'm not going to get into what the channel or history panel is used for. Really??? I bought this course on some advanced techniques in photoshop and I'm not familiar with it's interface? (Maybe 90% of people who want to learn the advanced stuff never opened photoshop before.. I dunno)

Now we're shading and homie never once showed how he used the "Photoshop brushes or tools" to achieve the different type of edges.. It was like- uhh look at me I'm magnificent- look at how I do this really cool thing..

Sigh..
