About Your Instructor

My name is Mahdi Khouei, and I have been a 3D character artist for a decade now. I have worked in VFX and the game industry, as well as 3D printing. Currently, I’m working as a freelance 3D character artist.

Confidently create a Complete Stylised Character in Blender—from concept analysis and blockout to high-poly sculpting, clothing, accessories, weapon creation, and final presentation.
