  • Chris Lindstrom

    Very good instructor. He provided clear and useful feedback each week and the Q&As were very informative.

  • Bakari Griffin

    I learned so much and finally learned how to put the character into characters! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!

  • Jacob Birmingham

    It was helpful to have character design tool sets broken down. The methods Brett introduced us to helped me create characters I probably would not have previously envisioned out of my head, just by creating some space to play with different proportions, and providing some new ways of thinking and/or approaching a design.

  • Sandra Schwartz

    It improves the way I see things around me and the way I draw in general! I ‘m so glade I took this course!

  • Amanda Zima

    I took this class more for fun and to push me a bit out of my comfort zone. I think just having assignments to work on was super helpful to force me to draw. I sometimes suffer from not knowing what to draw, and end up not drawing, or drawing similar things over and over again.

  • Frank J Montes

    This course has really forced me out of my comfort zone and helped me expand the areas my mind usually goes to when I sit down and draw a character.
