If you’ve ever wanted to dive into 3D modeling and digital art, there’s no better time than now!

Recently, we hosted a free Blender masterclass with Sonia Gutierrez, where she took attendees on a deep dive into the power of Blender for creating 3D models. Now, Sonia is offering a full 10-week workshop to go in-depth on learning everything you need to make amazing 3D models. Whether you're completely new to 3D or looking to strengthen your skills, this workshop is the perfect next step.

Why Should You Learn Blender?

Blender is one of the fastest-growing 3D tools in the industry, used in video games, animation, VFX, and concept art. While some studios still rely on software like Maya and ZBrush, Blender’s open-source nature and versatility have made it an increasingly popular choice - especially for indie developers, game artists, and animation creators. Learning Blender gives you an edge, making you adaptable to different workflows and pipelines.

👉 “I can’t believe Blender is never taught in animation schools! I wish I had learned it earlier.” – Attendee from Sonia’s free class

If that sounds like you, this workshop is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

What You'll Learn in This Workshop

Led by industry artist Sonia Gutierrez, this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop will cover:

✔️ Modeling Foundations – Start with primitive shapes and refine them into polished 3D assets
✔️ Essential Blender Tools – Learn modifiers, loop cuts, beveling, and topology techniques
✔️ Grease Pencil for 2D Artists – Blend 2D and 3D workflows seamlessly
✔️ Texturing & UV Mapping – Give your models colour, depth, and personality
✔️ Storytelling Through Props – Make objects feel real by adding storytelling details
✔️ Industry Best Practices – Work like a pro, avoid common mistakes, and speed up your workflow

Insights from Sonia’s Masterclass

In her free session, Sonia shared insider tips on making Blender work for you - no matter your artistic background.

💡 3D for 2D Artists: Blender is a game-changer for illustrators and animators. Whether you're sketching out ideas with Grease Pencil or using 3D references for digital paintings, Blender bridges the gap between traditional and digital workflows.

💡 The Power of Free Software: Many schools still teach only industry-standard programs like Maya and ZBrush because that’s what major studios use. But in the indie world, Blender is everywhere. It’s powerful, completely free, and growing fast.

💡 Breaking Industry Norms: Shows like Arcane, Spider-Verse, and indie game projects are challenging the status quo by blending 2D and 3D styles. Learning Blender now means staying ahead of the curve in an evolving industry.

💡 Modeling for Games & Animation: Props and environments tell a story. In the workshop, Sonia will teach you how to add character and history to your models—from worn-out weapons to cozy interiors—making your 3D art more immersive and believable.
