  • Nathan
    Art Heroes student 2021
    Before 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!
  • Antonella
    Art Heroes student 2021
    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.

    Terry, Germany
    Art 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, Australia
    Art 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 10/10
    Christopher Beese, the US
    Art 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, Italy
    Art Heroes student, 2021
