Thank you for the great blender course! It's been 3 years since I opened blender and following your guide, everything felt a bit more familiar again. :) 

After the 2_pool practice, I did my own version:

Couldn't do it in orthographic mode, because I didn't set up the camera at the beginning I think. I tried to do it after everything was finished, but couldn't zoom out enough..

And I think my colors and light are a bit off in both, but other than that, I'm very happy with the result. 

Looking forward for the animation class,

Daria :)
