STUDENT EXPERIENCES “I’m still very new to art, so I couldn’t fully take advantage of this course as much as I wanted, but it helped me a lot. I’m sure I will rewatch it many times. Victor is truly passionate and incredible at teaching—I enjoyed every class with all my heart. I’m eternally grateful for his tips. “The thing I’m most grateful for is the community I’m now part of. Everyone in the course was very kind and helpful, from Victor to the other students. They made me enjoy art once more.” — Gaspar Moran “Victor’s class was amazing. He’s a great teacher and each of his lessons were incredibly thoughtful, easy to understand, inspiring, and entertaining. He teaches you a great process that guides you through each stage of making a character or illustration as well as helping to strengthen the technical skills needed to bring these artworks to life. These lessons will easily stick with me and be woven into every piece of art I make in the future. And the community built during this class is irreplaceable. I left not only with a better understanding of the process of creating meaningful characters and illustrations, but with a group of people who will continue to encourage and inspire me for the rest of my life.” —Forrest “Victors class on splash art was an incredible experience, not solely because of the valuable things I learned from him as a teacher, but the connections with other artists I made. This peers I met in this environment were instrumental in my development the past two months. This course was worth every penny and more. I would take it ten more times if I could, and I hope Victor decides to come back to teach again soon.” — Kyle Myers “This class was the best use of my money to propel my artwork forward. Victor brought so much life and love to this class that was so infectious. The way I look at art and the way I think through making art has been transformed in such a beautiful way. This class has become an amazing community and I am forever grateful.” — Lane Lindblom “Victor Maury is an amazing, intuitive, and professional instructor that has delivered in more ways then I can count! Out of all the online art education platforms that I have tried, Underpaint Academy has delivered an amazing experience that makes the whole process leaving you both wanting more, and completely transforming your work. The valuable lessons learned in Victors class will forever be present in both my personal and professional work. I cant wait to attend more Underpaint courses! (the community aspect was also amazing, I’m ecstatic to be a part of it!).” — Rim Douiri “I’d recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their design and illustration skills! The lessons we covered truly encourage you to develop your own project ideas and to be uniquely creative. I know personally, that the way I approach and look at art has changed for the better. “Every class is full of gold, Victor is an exceptional teacher whose expertise and love for the craft is clear. The whole class atmosphere is inspiring and you’ll get to see a ton of variety in characters, stylistic goals, and aesthetics from the critique tier. Plus, there’s a wonderful Discord class community to help by offering advice or inspiration.” — Jasmine Carter/CorvusHound “Not only did Victor help all of us emotionally, he provided incredible lectures, demos, and lessons while going in depth about almost every question that was asked of him. “I genuinely feel like just his paintovers alone unlocked a whole new level for me and those were near the ends of recordings; The rest is filled to the brim with artistic knowledge and insight. “Victor inspired an amazing community and reignited a flame in so many of his students that were burnt out and tired. He encouraged and taught us how to work together and improve our artwork all while staying passionate and kind till the ‘Signing Off.’” — Tobias “I highly recommend this course to anyone who needs a unique, insightful approach to the art process that goes beyond just the technical aspects. Victor’s perspective on art is such a breath of fresh air compared to the principles I was taught in school, which helped revive my motivation to continue pursuing a career in this field. The takeaways from this class are priceless and I’ve noticed drastic improvements in my art style after just a couple weeks! “Also, being able to interact with classmates who are just as passionate for art has kept me engaged and excited to share my progression each week, and I’m always looking forward to seeing everyone’s work!” — Dae “I was truly blown away by just how thoughtfully and effectively victor approached each and every persons work he critiqued. He was always just as a excited for our work as we were, and I feel like that energy just radiated into the whole class. And on a personal level, I feel like he answered every questions I had going into the class in terms of where I’m weak and where I need to really focus. I think I got well behind what i was looking for from the class pretty early on even.” — David M “I came to this class for cold, hard, serious information for the industry. I got Victor sharing his passion for art and a warm sense of humor and relatability with us. This class leans more heavily on feeling over technique. Sometimes that’s what I need” — Adam Hogston STUDENT WORK
