    Great tutorial! You have a good voice and clear diction and a good flow throughout the tutorial. There are not that many tutorials for Mixer out there and you could be one of the pioneers to continue this into a regular course, especially when they release the full-on 3D painting version. I expect that version will be feature-rich with content and techniques for future tutorials.
