Read MoreAs the name suggests, Fly on the wall is exactly that. A raw, unedited, over the shoulder look of one of the industry's best, teaching the techniques and workflows of CG portraiture. Thank you Kris!

Read MoreI started this course while I was in my second year of university, and I was very concerned with my level being good enough to take part of the course. I sent Kris a couple of e-mails and he encouraged me to enroll, and so I did! I can say now that it was an amazing experience. I honestly feel that I learned more in one month of FOTW than in 2 years of university. Being able to see the way such an experienced professional works, and how he interprets the models and curates them is unpayable, in my opinion. Another thing that's very interesting, is that the course is approached from a very artistic standpoint, but thanks to all the experience that Kris has, he spends all the course giving technical insight, which makes the course a very complete learning experience.

Read MoreIt is one of the best courses I have taken. Kris is a great professional and a very qualified teacher.

Read MoreA complete class that goes through the process of sculpting a likeness, texturing, adding materials, rendering and post processing. It covers in depth artistic and technical approaches and even offers an ethical point of view of the work (something like this: every day explore, keep trying, work smarter - not harder, tell your story, enjoy the process and be nice to others). A beautiful class, one of my favorites.

Read MoreBesides the fact that Kris is one of the best masters in the industry, he is also a very open and cheerful person. I am amazed at how Kris successfully combines work in one of the best studios in the world and teaching such complex material. Each lecture was filled with masterful tricks and techniques. Kris fully shows his pipeline with all the little things and creates a new work on each class! I myself was surprised by the incredible and beautiful result that Kris’s unique pipeline gives. It was an invaluable experience, thank you, Kris!

Read MoreThis is a great course for beginner artist to learn in-depth how to make character more appealing. Kris's approach is not that complicated and easy to follow when it comes to create a portraiture. In addition, Kris isn't applying unconventional brushes to his example. I feel that there's no other course that can compete with Fly On The Wall in terms of knowledge. I highly recommend for any artist to enroll his class. Moreover, Kris is a likeable teacher with an encouraging personality therefore no need to be shy to show your work in-class or during review session.

Read Morea no holds bared course on digital portraiture. unlike most courses that offer a piece meal approach, Kris goes through the entire process in great detail. While the course is grounded in solid theory the real asset is practically going throw the entire process with Kris as he creates a hyper realistic portrait.

Read MoreI am very impressed by the classes, the course wasn't only what was promised, it was much more, apart from technical and artistic learning, advice and good vibes, I think only a few have the desire, patience and willingness to teach their techniques openly and Kris Costa is one of them.
