Dreams come true

Before I came to Vanas, working as a concept artist seemed like a faraway dream that I'd chase but eventually have to settle for something less, however everyone I've talked to has been so helpful and all seem very passionate about what they do, now rather than looking like something I'd wish for, it looks like something I can actually work towards

Passionate faculty

Adrian is a very relatable person, every time I ran into a problem with photoshop or zbrush, he would find a way of reassuring me and showing me that it wasn't as difficult as it seems. Adrian was always extremely passionate about the work we were doing and there was never a point where I lost interest during a Q&A session

Encouraging progress

My teacher is very friendly, very encouraging, and a joy to listen to. Always finds good things to comment on and gives advice for how to improve work while still sounding courteous. Very approachable and balances humor and information in the lessons to keep them fun and entertaining. He's also very enthusiastic and punctual

Kindred Spirits

I feel very welcome here and the lessons are incredibly helpful. I've learned a lot in just 2 weeks. I especially like having the video lecture at the beginning of the week so I can start work on my assignment before the live session on Thursday. My teacher is fantastic, too

Test yourself and see if you like it
