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!

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 NHance team, especially thanks to Ruslan and Chl_liza for all their feedbacks in the Handpaint course.

The AAA Hand-Painted Character Texturing 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.

These are the textures, handpainted by me ✨ Based on a course by Ruslan Shabelsky – thanks for the step-by-step guidance! This prop helped me to understand shape definition, material separation, and lighting through handpainting. Model was provided as part of the course.

My final hand painting project on the Nhance School texturing course. I created a simple base in Substance 3D Painted to then paint by hand in 3DCoat and Krita. Nhance School provided me with the 3D model and bakes, so that I can focus on practicing texture painting. Thank you to Liza and Ruslan at Nhance School 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.

Being long time follower of Ruslan's works and tutorials, I've applied for the mentorship the moment it was announced. And, oh boy, I didn't regret it! Course and mentorship are super detailed, structured and extremely practical. Ruslan provides guidance and feedback along the whole way: from the concept stage to publication of the final work online. The mentorship was exactly what I was hoping it to be, and even more!

I made this stylized lava sword during my journey on learning how to make handpainted textures. It took quite a while adding details all along the blade but I'm really happy how it turned out in the end! (Model provided by Nhance Handpaint Course)
