  • The course is also for artists who wants to speed up their workflow in Zbrush and improve their skill in making female anatomy, Hair, clothes and accessories.

Very helpful and professional, like other courses from Niko, the only thing that I would say is that it has somewhat of a more serious teaching style here, rather than his usual "Touch yourself!" light-hearted humorous tone that you find in his other courses. Whether this is a good or a bad thing is, I guess, dependent on personal taste, but I found it a bit more sterile than usual and more like a "Now I am the teacher and I am teaching you Zbrush" rather than just hanging out with a cool artist, that makes the video engaging, fun and worth watching even if you didn't care about Zbrush.

Overall I really liked this course. I would say that it's not a beginner level course, it would be nice to learn some basic shortkeys and how to move around ZBrush first before starting this. I followed along very well. The teacher is funny and listening to his explanations was easy. I tried other courses before and unlike the others, this teacher shows the best and the quickest way how to make certain things. Thank you!

Great tutorial, this has helped me a lot with character design and practicing more with Z-Brush. I also enjoy all of the stories. Thank you.

very nice course, I lithe so much. Teacher brought many new ideas, character customization, which brings a lot of smartness to the profession. It goes into even specific details, which the character does not use, to further enrich the course. speechless, very productive and very rich in detail. I just have to thank you, and I will acquire more courses that involve them.

Another great course of Nikolay Naidyonov! It is very useful with tons of information, which has to know every 3D artist! The anatomy part pretty decent, but I also used in parallel his another course "Female anatomy for artists". The greatest part of thi course for me is the process of making armor and leather parts. Also this courser gave me very strong knowldge about Zmodeller, although for sword I used Blender software. Render part I didn't like well, but I hate making renders at all. And I didn't handle with FiberMesh, but stylized hair looks also not bad, I think. Great thanks to Nilolay for his beautiful course!

Nice to follow along and watch a master work. Completely awful at teaching how he does it. I can't count how many times something was explained as "We just do this thing here... great".

It was amazing. I learnt a lot during this course. It was my second chacarter to make, but I completly greatful that I achieved. Thanks Nikolay for making these videos. He is the best teacher and a mentor! And by the way, I liked his jokes, because without them the learning time won't be so much fun!!!!

At the beginning the course, the autor never give you any keyshort. While sculpting a female person, he never shows you the keyshort to do something...

I'm really impressed by this course. I learned A LOT. One thing that I didn't like is a lot of chatting about practice "you need MORE practice" and etc cause it made me feel insecure and nervous. But I really can recommend this course to intermediate zbrush users! I loved it

Enjoying the course so far! I'm glad that the first lesson was going over a custom user interface. While I love how much stuff Zbrush has available, navigating through everything just to get to one button is always a nightmare, and memorizing the hotkeys--while doable--can be tedious. It was great to be able to just drag and drop things where I wanted them. Looking forward to what the rest of the course has to offer.

Invaluable commentary that is so in-depth- also very easy workflows and approaches. I especially enjoys that nothing is sped up and mistakes are shown before they are fixed. Please please do more like this.

Good course, it provides what I expected. The instructor show the creation process from start to end, including compositioning process which is often skipped in similar tutorials. I can recommend this course for people who already have basic knowledge about Zbrush.
