As a good boy of the 80 grew up stuck to the screen admiring Toriyama, Miyazaki, Disney and Cartoon Network, and with his hands glued to the controls of the video games of Nintendo and Sega. Referents that have led him to develop his own style as motion grapher.
He studied audiovisual communication and journalism at the University of Valencia and worked as a video editor at a small agency in Amsterdam. It was there where his true passion for animation began, which has led him to work on motion graphics for all types of clients and projects.

I recommend the course, the teacher is very clear when explaining. I hope he soon releases another course but with slightly more complex characters, it would be great.
