Learn To Create 3D Characters For Collectibles With This Course

Art Director & Lead Character Artist Spicer McLeroy will teach you how to sculpt a dynamic character for 3D printing with ZBrush and render in KeyShot and Marmoset Toolbag.

Taught by Spicer McLeroy, Art Director & Lead Character Artist for video games, collectibles, and comics, this course consists of 6 live 1-on-1 sessions accompanied by pre-recorded lectures focusing on demystifying character art and ZBrush.

While a lot of guides and workshops focus on replicating the reference, Character Creation course aims to go deeper into the understanding of the skull and skeleton to develop knowledge and confidence in sculpting. No more guessing, from anatomy knowledge to creating props, clothing, and armor, you will learn how to complete your collectible and provide the best impact to the viewer.
