TESTIMONIALS
I would not hesitate to take future classes with Mike Defeo. He explained things well, and was available if we had questions/issues. Outstanding instructor!
- Adrianne Draude
Mike is an excellent teacher. I feel that I have filled a lot of gaps in my Zbrush knowledge. I knew the basic techniques in Zbrush and was familiar with the UI before starting this class, but did not know how to put it all together in a solid workflow. From this standpoint, I think this class greatly benefits those who are between beginner and intermediate levels like myself.
The overall structure of the course is the best I've encountered. I like that I can take my time with an instructional video and get personal feedback from the instructor on my homework. Mike's feedback was exactly what I wanted: straightforward, practical information and techniques regarding sculpting. Seeing him draw over my sculpts I found the most helpful. I really appreciated little tips of which I wasn't aware...I am very happy with this class and the information I have learned. I plan on taking the 3d printing and organic modeling course in the future.

Michael is a fantastic sculptor, artist and instructor. He translates his traditional sculpting experience to Zbrush in a perfect synergy of artistry and technical prowess...Overall I loved this course.
