"I'm loving this course! I'd never sculpted a character before, because sculpting a whole human feels quite daunting. The instructor makes it very easy. The part to part sculpting and the information I learned how to get from specific references make so much sense. I've managed to make one decent character before, but it took me weeks and weeks to refine and finally make them look decent, while this is just easy."


-Anastasia Symeonidou, Freelance 3D Artist

"The Character Artist's Handbook is a very detailed and instructive course explaining the how-to's in Blender. I like how it shows how to model step by step and slowly explains each lesson and emphasizes patience as rushing things causes mistakes. The "How to use Blender" section was very helpful to someone not familiar with it"
