Character Art is my passion and frustration
With the Character Mentorship program, we are teaching you only what's needed for your portfolio and for your success as a character artist, leaving all the fluff aside.
Our goal is to help you build a stellar portfolio and the career that you deserve.
Over the course of 7 months, you will build 3 characters working alongside your mentors and the community of other artists.
By the end of the Program, you will have all the tools, experience, and knowledge you need to start or advance to the next level as a character artist
You don't need to spend hundreds of thousands on an art school.
If you have the dedication, you need just a few months to give your career a new twist.

Julio Padula, Argentina
I learned a lot, so I think it is super recomendable. The workflow and the constant correction of the instructor has given me another view of my work process.
Art Heroes student
Antonella
The fact that the course was made in steps was very helpful but the most important thing that helped to improve her look was the feedback via community and the Mentorship sessions. I got to ask for a lot for help from the Program Instructors to see what was wrong, especially with her face or the proportions of her body.

If I could finish with a nice result I think that everyone can. And that's because of the course, which explains perfectly every passage so that fits every kind of level.
The feedbacks from the instructors motivated me to do better and better.

ZBrush is the main tool. We use Marmoset and marvelous designer for presentation and a couple of other plugins that you will get access to as a student.
You will be matched with a mentor depending on your current level, aspirations, and career goals. We do our best to make the best possible match, but if something doesn't work out, you can request a change of mentor.
