About This Course

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 ad-
vanced 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.

Polygon Runway Method

With me, you jump right into action and learn essential information as you go without prolonged funda-
mentals sections and fluff.

You get a real result at the end of each episode, so that’s immediately several illustration styles you can
use to enhance your designs and workflow.

By the end of the course, you will find out that there is no limit on what you can create. At every step, I
share my personal workflow tips and every time add a little bit of a secret sauce to the mix :)

Additionally, every chapter has a dedicated downloadable file, so if for some reason you feel like skip-
ping a particular chapter, you can continue working right where the next chapter starts.

You get the most out of your time.

Episode 1
Sunny Park

The first episode will serve mostly to get up to

speed with previous techniques and cover some

topics like concepts, reusable low poly body topo-
logy, details texture painting and basic rigging and

niques to give our low poly designs beautiful styl-
ized details.

Why Blender

Blender is an open-source and completely free tool that stands toe to toe with the most expensive 3d soft-
ware out there and is used by more and more professionals every day. I think that the guys at Blender
Foundation do an amazing job and the latest 2.9 update is just mind blowing. I believe in Blender and I
think it can be the first choice for the illustrators and designers when it comes to 3D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I can confidently say that the course helped me get into 3D faster than any other
platform out there. Roman breaks down Blender into digestible chunks that are
practical and I was able to apply those techniques into my daily design workflow. I
highly recommend for anyone."

Neil Cueto
Principal Design Manager, Microsoft
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I've struggled with Blender in the past and have tried to follow along various You-
Tube channels, but Roman's approach and teaching style made it effortless to
pick up Blender and render fantastic scenes. I would highly recommend anyone
who's thinking about learning Blender, to take this course."

Branden Thornton

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Definitely take this course if you’d like to level up your 3D skills! You get better
and better with each lesson."

Casey Britt
Visual Design Lead, Riot Games
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I took this course as a break from my day to day work of designing interfaces. I
was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and I look forward to finding some ways
to weave Blender into my daily work. Roman does an incredible job of keeping
things clear and concise. This is easily one of the best courses for a design tool
that I've ever taken."

Aaron Weyenberg
Director of R&D, TED
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Where many courses bring a generalized tone to their audiences, Roman makes
you feel like he's your personal tutor. The content and intentional progression is
well structured, and I love that the course isn't over-produced. The authentic feel
of each lesson makes the course distinct, personal, and impactful."
 Bruno Marinho
Product Designer, Facebook
⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Roman's instructions are always detailed and clear. Even if you don't have any
background with 3D software, you will quickly be able to get started and develop
advanced skills on Blender. All his lessons have very thoughtful examples and
once you start practicing, it becomes really easy to create your own things."

Nicolas Torres
Developer and Designer, Epycure
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I've completed my very first composition, and it's both a pride and a relief. Before,
I just couldn't find the tools that would unlock my creative mind. Thanks to this
course, I now feel I have an infinity to explore, where before I saw only obstacles.
Low poly is fantastic, and Roman's teaching is perfect for me."
