About your mentor[that be me]
My name is Vladimir probably most of you know me as "carvuliero" [my nickname on Polycount] I have been doing 3d for almost 10 years several of which working as freelance character artist/generalist .During the years my interest in anatomy slowing grow inspired by various artist and teachers to a healthy obsession .I have learned from a lot of great people along the way and this programs in my small attempt to pay it forwardHelp me help you
Testimonials :
As a professional 3D character artist I have benefited from my formal and informal education in anatomy and sculpture. Over the past few years I have been feeling my progress slow down as it got more and more difficult to find artists/teachers/mentors who were capable enough to keep pushing me forward. I was so lucky to cross paths with Vladimir! His attention to detail, deep understanding of anatomy and ability to clearly communicate what needs to be done where has been invaluable. I would highly recommend anyone looking to get to that next level in their art go with Vladimir - he will get you there!Sara Wilde[Sarish7]

Vladimir helped me develop my anatomy sculptor skills through regular and extremely clear feedback. He reliably gave clear instructions, fantastic references and useful paint overs that elevated my understanding of anatomical form and detail more than any tutorial or course I had taken in the past.

Vladimir is a master in anatomy, I have learn from great artists but not all teach you all the forms and shapes of the body. He is not just showing you what you may be doing wrong , but he also provide examples you can follow for your character and a lot of anatomy resources. At first can be a bit overwhelming but with time and hard work you can see it all worth it. I really appreciate all the help he gave me.

As someone who has been practicing 3D art for the past seven
years, I have to say that I had not had a person help me out as much in
improving my anatomy as Vladimir. He spent a week just helping me out and
pointing out all the anatomical imperfections in my models that I was posting
on the polycount.com forums. He has meticulous attention to detail and can tell
you exactly what you need to do to improve your work, going as far as providing
reference materials and drawing over my models even though he was just helping
me out as a stranger and a newcomer for free. I would say that even though I
had watched many video tutorials on anatomy, nothing helps more than having
someone mentoring you.

End of the year always been my preferred time to refresh and update my anatomy knowledge because of that AnatomyMentor program will be 50% off for the next 2 months
Also if you want to check your current work for correctness I will be giving one time critiques
Feel free to contact me at : AnatomyMentor@gmail.com
Duration : 3 months[ starting Monday 12] possible extension per individual request
Structure : step by step [ each month focus on set of important topics ]
Below are each month with it's most important topics
-Block in ,proportions , big form and planes
-Muscles ,secondary from and transitions
-Polish, pose and composition for sculpture
There will be personal critique and question session after each assignment
AnatomyMentor Summer Update :
I will be doing figure construction mentorship .The main focus will be on fundamental knowledge necessary to construct a figure in both symmetry and pose [if there is interest we can working on action poses ] Expect a lot of starting and maybe one project push a bit further , lots of small exercises on various subjects .
AnatomyMentor Fall[Autumn] Update :
Back to good old anatomy we will be focusing on groups and individual muscle in multiple views [3/4s, above and below included] which should give as clear picture of how muscles look in the round [3d]
Even tho we will be sculpting most of the time there are some simple drawing exercise to speed things up and reinforce the learning process [2d artist are welcome to join this time around as most assignments can be completed in 2d as well ]
All of the material has been revised and simplified to the most important core which will make whole learning experience easier and fun
Main points that we will be touching :
- muscle in multiple views
- analysis of various reference material
- O/I ,fiber direction , planes and orientation
- muscle maps / cable muscles
- simplify shape/form of muscle/groups
- proportion/relation of shape/forms
- visual tools [contrast line , line between the function, rhythm line and many more ]
- observation, tips and tricks
- application aka how to use all of the above in your art
If most of the terms above doesn't make any sense that great then you will learn a lot
AnatomyMentor Update :
Mentorship is up and running I will be focusing on this specific topic a lot this year shape language, gesture sculpting and story telling and more specifically how to combine them into something that speaks
Likeness exercises , series of exercises designed to provide all the necessary steps to understand the human face and sculpt a likeness
Ok lets kick some robot ass !
Hey. I am very excited about your program, I have been trying zBrush for months, but I can not satisfy myself, your program is essential to me, but I don't have enough money to buy it, is there any chance you teach me, and I will pay you after I get a job or earn something? it will be very helpful.
Yes that's possible , but it will depend entirely on you ,you have to meet my minimum requirements and more Bringing you to a point where you can make some money wont be that hard if you are willing to put the time and do the exercises I think most of my serious students are
