If you wanna learn with true professionals that helps you everytime you need with perfect feedback, their courses are the ones you need to buy. No matter if it's the Handpaint course or the character course, they will always want you to be better and they are always there to help. I will always be grateful for all the feedbacks and help they bring to me, and their patience and time. Thank you for all Ruslan and the N-Hance team, especially thanks to Ruslan and Chl Liza for all their feedbacks.

I want to thank Ruslan — a wonderful and talented person. He's an amazing mentor, and thanks to him, I've made huge progress in hand-painting. I think without his help and guidance, I couldn't even dream of achieving such results. Ruslan explained and demonstrated everything in a very clear and accessible way. He showed me techniques and nuances in hand-painting, and I learned tons of new information and cool tricks that helped speed up my workflow and made my work more vibrant and colorful. These are unique insights that you can only get from the right person — a true professional!

The AAA Character course with Ruslan is honestly one of the best decisions I've made to improve as an artist. Starting from the fundamentals like color theory and materials, I was quickly able to work on my own assets, like Hearthstone fanarts I've now finished thanks to his guidance, plus a character I'm currently working on. Progress takes time, but after every session with Ruslan, the improvement is huge. He always finds new ways you hadn't noticed to push your 3D work further. It's easily one of the best ways to grow as an artist, learning directly from a highly experienced industry professional. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to seriously improve their texturing workflow.

Thank you N-hance School and mentors Liza, Ruslan for all of the feedback and guiding me through my hand painting journey for the past months! I have experienced a lot of tangible growth, feel less intimidated by hand painting and have thereby learned to love the process.
