Read MoreI had a chance to be on Kris class, learn from him, and it was a bless. It was a mindset changer, not only about CG or portrait, but in Art in general. He teaches his own approach, his technique, his ways to do things without hiding anything. That shows how amazing is Kris class, but also how amazing he is as a teacher and as a person! Beyond all of that, he has a great sense of humor!

Read MoreAs a relative novice with zero experience in Zbrush and looking to learn about creating digital characters i found the pre-recorded course invaluable. There are so many courses out there covering various topics. In this course you can find everything in one spot. Not only that but you get very detailed information and workflows from the best in the world, nothing is skipped out. Now i understand what to spend my time learning and understand a lot better how different parts of the process fit together. Planning on revisiting the videos over and over again. Kris is a gifted teacher and shares openly in an enjoyable manner.

Read MoreIf you are the same that I am. A mediocre artist, that accumulated over the years an immense knowledge of CG and could not use it to translate into a 3d artwork very well done. The piece of artwork with the artistic and technical intensity that you would like, I recommend this course as a turning point in your life, just as it was in mine. I feel more prepared for the job market and to represent my artistic expression. This course is much better than I imagined and the investment money is a little price to pay when you discover out how much it is possible to learn by the minute.

Read MoreHi Kris. Just letting you know much I enjoyed your tutorial. It was a very in-depth step by step approach which I will go back to again and again. I can't tell you how much I've learnt from you and your approach to sculpting. It was worth every penny. Thank you
