Learn the Blender techniques I use daily to create a content for 200K+ audience and serve global brands. Uplevel your Blender skills and unleash your creative potential.

3D Characters and Illustrations is a 2020 course sequel, that serves as an extension of the knowledge gained in Become a 3D Illustrator course released in 2019.

It will guide you through my method of simple 3d cartoon character construction and some more advanced 3d modeling and illustration techniques, like hard surface modeling and simple sculpting. 

Although this is a sequel, if you already have some basic Blender skills, you can jump right in and get up to speed using the first episode, that serves as a requirements checklist.

If you are experienced in other 3D software and want to give Blender a try, this course might be a great match for you, as it’s really practical and time efficient.

If you're completely new to 3D design, I recommend starting with the Become a 3D Illustrator course.

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.
