Welcome, we’re so happy you’re here!
This is a joyful space to improve your 3D character art, grow as an artist and person, and feel supported along the way.
You’ll learn from a kind and experienced mentor (hi, that’s me!) how to create with joy, and enjoy the process of making art. You might even make some friends for life along the way.
If that sounds good, then this is the place for you.
Hi! I'm Leticia Gillett
I’ve been working in the entertainment industry and teaching 3D art for over 15 years. As a 3D Character Supervisor, 3D Visdev Artist and Modeler/sculptor, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with studios such as Disney Animation, Disney Consumer Products, Blizzard, DreamWorks, and Netflix.
I believe that teaching is a form of art. The way I see it, if you do it well, you can open a world of possibilities to a student's mind. My goal is to serve, inspire and guide with a gentle hand so that they can find their own way to the joys of self expression.

"Some of the best parts of this mentorship for me were Leticia's outlook on our relationships with art, life and ourselves as artists and humans. She underlined many times throughout the mentorship how important it was to have a healthy mindset beyond just the technical skills when creating art. It was of course also great to get an insight into Leticia's process and watch her create art in real time while sharing tips and fun stories. This was genuinely one of the best and pleasant class experiences I had ever had!"

Watching my character progress throughout the mentorship was a beautiful experience. I really enjoyed the process and came out of it feeling more confident in my artistic decisions!"

"I had an amazing experience during my 3D character art mentorship with Leticia. Her feedback was thoughtful, honest, and incredibly helpful, and I grew a lot both technically and artistically. More than anything, she is incredibly kind and supportive, which made the whole experience feel very friendly and cozy. I would highly recommend this mentorship to any artist, it was truly a great experience, especially alongside such a wonderful group of people! :)"
