Student Review
Alexander
"I enjoyed José's course as it went through the basics, which I think is very important, especially for me as a junior. For me I really enjoyed how he kept the format simple, and tried bringing the level down to me as a student.
I absolutely recommend this course for juniors or for any artist wanting to learn more rigging concepts."
