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.

SUCCESS STORY ZHIHENG ANDY SU
Our illustration mentorship program is meant to bring portfolios to a new level, and we mentors were incredibly pleased by the way mentorship program graduate Zhiheng Andy Su completely transformed his portfolio during the spring 2024 session. Over the course of weeks, Zhiheng went from two very different digital and hand drawn styles before to one consistent and beautiful children’s book portfolio after.
