Jus wrapped up the October class with Kris I was surprised how Intense the work load is and the amount of content covered in such a short period of time. His 12+ yeas of experience and not holding back on any sort of information seam more as a mentorship then a class. Plus the access to previous classes helps you figure out issues with different types of models. Overall an amazing experience, would recommend to anyone that want to be a character modeler, although, I would say that it better if you already have some descent knowledge of anatomy and ZBrush.

It was great to see the whole process of how Kris makes his portraits, and I feel really empowered to finish my own, now that I have much less blind spots in the process. Also Kris being such a positive and upbeat person really helped me forget I had to wake up very early to attend the classes :)

Kris is one of the greatest teacher I've ever met! He has so much patience and is there for every question you want to ask. But is not only a great teacher and artist, is also a great man, his positivity and energy gives you the power and the desire to go deeper in your art journey. The special thing about this course is also the relationship between the students, I felt that a family was born and everyone is happy to help each other with suggestions and feedback! You cannot miss the opportunity to live this experience and learn from Kris!
