VANESSA HAHN
I took the Character Intensive course with ITSme and it helped me a lot to enhance my charac-ter designs in terms of consistency. I can only recommend this course for those who struggle to keep their characters cohesive throughout multiple illustrations.
Success Stories
CATHERINE WORLSEY
I recently took the Character Study Intensive course with ITSme Learning, it’s such a fantastic course and has taken my portfolio to another level! The briefs and inspiration are really well put together and helped me focus on what I needed to do to enhance this area of my portfolio. I’ve been looking to improve my character design skills for a while, I’ve now been able to add some pieces which I’m really proud of, and I’ve already had some interest from publishing cli-ents so I’m over the moon! I would highly recommend taking this course if this is an area you want to get into.
