I like Denis, i've been a fan of his work for many years and i continue to be a fan, I just felt there were a few things that he could have done better. This is a constructive criticism, not anything else. I enjoyed watching him work, but I felt that there were moments when he could have sped it up or skipped through some of the process, such watching him clean up the sketching. I felt that I didn't learn very much and he didn't go into detail - maybe that is my fault, maybe i didn't understand what was entailed in this before I made the purchase. I also feel that perhaps a better way for him to do these courses is record the process and then do a voice over afterwards, this would alleviate him having to multitask and long periods of silence or him speaking low. I really didn't learn much of his technic and I felt, sorry to say, he was rambling on while I watched him sketch. And, as I mentioned, I had a hard time hearing what he was saying because he speaks so low. And at some points I felt the video was too long and I got bored. Again, this is not personal, just how I experienced this lesson, or demonstration. And I want to learn, and I think learning is what we all do as creative types. I look forward to seeing more videos from Denis, and what else he can share and I hope he will take in consideration some of this in his future videos.

This course is very informative and the artwork is outstanding. There is some excellent instruction included on creating a values layer. The course could have been improved by including some speed video through the lengthy and often silent drawing sessions.

I love his work so it was worth seeing how he paints and getting an up close look at his rendering techniques. His humble attitude really makes you feel you can do it, too. The only negative is that I wish he'd talk more as he paints - about anything, light theory or his dog - because some of the lessons are very long. I made it through them all because I didn't want to miss anything and when he does chat it's interesting. I liked hearing about his art, business practice and experiences. Overall I found it encouraging as he humanises his supernatural art talent.

This was an excellent course! A wealth of information. I'd like to see another course with Denis; he is a very thorough and clear teacher. I learned some valuable techniques and ways to improve and apply what I learned to my own work. Thank you.

Have you ever wondered how Dennis Zilber makes those amazing 3D looking illustrations only using Photoshop? It is fascinating to see how humble the artist is when he explains his why-s and how-s as the magic enfolds on his computer. His meticulous rendering will leave in awe. You can follow him step by step from the first thumbnail sketches to the final illustration. Extra: he teaches you some very useful Photoshop shortcuts (Actions) too. Easy to follow and fun to watch.
