Ben was very knowledgeable and was clear and concise. The course was easy to follow and to understand. This course helped me push my skills further and helped me create a character in a short amount of time than I have in the past. I learned a lot of new things including a marmoset toolbag to give my render a nicer look

I had a lot of fun! This is a great course for those looking to build upon their fundamental ZBrush knowledge and equip themselves with the tools to start creating their own cool-looking characters. With only 1 week to complete, it felt like the right level of challenge without being too simple or too overwhelming. A fantastic place to begin your 3d character portfolio!
