I absolutely loved this course predominantly because of the instructor. Juan is such a pleasure to talk to, and shares the wealth of knowledge he has on the subject very willingly. He definitely goes above and beyond in answering questions and introducing new plugins and scripts.

Juan Morales / Fall 2017
I thought Juan was a great coach. I had to withdraw from the class on the third week because this is not the route I want to take with my career. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this instructor.

Joshua Kinney / Winter 2017
Christian was outstanding. My knowledge gained during this class has multiplied ten fold without a doubt. Christian helped me to understand the human form rather than memorizing shapes and hoping that it turns into a human model.
”
Peter Paterson/ Spring 2017
Chris has a kind supportive way about him while clearly getting across his constructive and thought provoking criticism that support better learning, observation and growth.

Jorge Adnel Martin / Fall 2017
Pete is very talented and has really helped me improve in the past weeks. I learned a lot and always provided very detailed explanations.
”
Diego Rodriguez / Fall 2017
Pete is the best teacher I've ever had. I learned a lot in the Q&A sessions and his weekly feedback was very useful. There were things I've never done before this class, moments of frustration that I was able to solve thanks to his advice.

Stephen Ytuarte / Spring 2017
This guy knows his stuff! I would recommend and sign up for any class John teaches. I haven't had a workshop or instructor teach me as well and as thorough as John since Art School.

Hannah Kang is an exceptionally talented artist that brings a real world perspective on how to execute at the highest levels of the entertainment industry. Hannah gives excellent instruction, insight and direction on what principals to focus on when articulating aesthetics and design in 3D space. Being able to learn from Hannah in a live Q&A environment with weekly dialogue has really helped expedite my learning and progress. Hannah’s class is much appreciated and highly recommended.
