- NathanArt Heroes student 2021Before this course I was fairly comfortable doing basic sculpts in ZBrush, but had no clue how to create clothing, hair, pose, UV or create textures. I'm now excited to find a new concept and start the process all over again on my own!
- AntonellaArt Heroes student 2021The 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.
- TrinhArt Heroes student 2021Just finished my character, I learnt so much through this program, thanks so much to instructors and community members for all feedback, tips and help. It's an honor to be a member of Art Heroes community .

Our students' feedback
- I'm super grateful for all the feedback, encouragement and helpful resources I received over the duration of this Program.
I remember when two months ago I wasn't sure whether I should take this course but now I'm so glad I did, I don't regret a single second :)Terry, GermanyArt Heroes student, 2021 - The amount of knowledge and growth I experienced in my skill set has been exponential. Lots of learning material and detailed explanations. I literally went from zero to hero during the course.Josh Linao, AustraliaArt Heroes student, 2021
- I drastically increased my skills in the time and the structure was fantastic for someone who is working long hours already.
The sculpting sides of things was a 10/10Christopher Beese, the USArt Heroes student, 2021 - 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.Francesco Gianfreda, ItalyArt Heroes student, 2021 - Great instruction, good pacing, discounts, extra bonus classes, tool tips, community
