Even when we create fantasy characters, we take inspiration from the natural world. 3D artist Rowena Frenzel uses that inspiration to design captivating imaginary animals with their own stories. She creates three-dimensional creatures for video games and board games and shares them on Instagram with her 30K followers.

In this course, Rowena guides you through the process of creating, coloring, posing, and rendering 3D animals of your own using ZBrush and Photoshop. Get inspired and bring creatures from your imagination to life before your eyes.
