It was a very easy-to-follow and good lecture because you explained it step by step and made the lecture materials well-made in case you missed something. But at the end, you were really good at tracing the outline of the photo... I was surprised at how well you traced the wrinkles in the clothes...
I don't know much about coding and HTML, so I watched the lecture as if I was listening to the radio.
But I don't think I'll be afraid the next time I make a book with Sigil.
At least I got a taste of how to do it.
Thank you for your hard work.
