About the Author: polygonrunway.com (Roman Klco)

polygonrunway.com (Roman Klco) thumbnail
For over 15 years I have been working as a designer of interactive and digital products in advertising, media and e-commerce. I've always had a crush on 3D graphics and as soon as I could I started incorporating it into my designer workflow. Later, I set myself the task of creating several 3D illustrations a week as a passionate project to really expand my skills, and I started sharing my journey on social media. I was amazed by all the positive reviews and the fact that people really wanted to know how I make my illustrations. This ultimately led to the decision to do a comprehensive 3D illustration course to help you on your journey as a designer.
