addedI'm very excited to be working back on new tutorials. Starting off with the next element of art, you will learn how to start a drawing with basic shapes and transform them with details and organic forms.
addedIf you look closely, you will notice a new ruler tool that will speed up drawing of rectangles and ellipses (there will be a LOT of them).
changedGiven how many sprints it will take to get all the elements of art out, I will now prioritize developing new content over quality-of-life updates, unless of course half of the game breaks or any essential feature requests come up. Let me know in the forums.
addedThanks for giving the game a try and I hope you will enjoy the new lessons. Cheers! —Retro
