I took the course "Concept art of the environment" and I want to express my sincere gratitude. The course exceeded all my expectations! The material was presented in a very accessible and interesting way, and practical tasks helped to consolidate the knowledge gained. I would especially like to note the professionalism of mentor Vladislav, who was always ready to help and answer all questions. Thanks to this course, I have significantly improved my skills and now I feel much more confident.
From 2017-2018, I attended the courses "2d Art for teenagers" and "Sketching Basics". Both of these courses and the teachers have given me a very useful knowledge base in drawing and using programs. I would give them all 10 stars.
But recently, after taking a Game Design course, I was disappointed in the studio. The inscription on the website reads "We will help you become a junior game designer and collect a portfolio of 4 works, as well as a document with a full description of your game." None of this has been done. All 4 months of classes consisted of notes and homework, and it's not worth talking about the final project. The teacher asked about him only once and completely forgot about it. By the way, the teacher himself was not interested, he left the field of game development and did not work in it at the time of the courses.
The final project was supposed to be our common board game, about the process of creating which prkpod asked only once and did not supervise anything or EVEN organize its creation (and for beginners in this business it would be worth doing this)
In fact, what we have is half a lecture book, the absence of any portfolio, a document "with a description of the game", a disinterested teacher from whom you cannot get answers with ticks. As a person, there are no complaints, but since you have lost interest in this area, it is not right to take a lot of money just for lectures from a non—acting specialist.
I took the course "Fundamentals of digital painting" and I want to say that it was an incredible experience that definitely allowed me to significantly improve my skills!
I really like the structured presentation of the material in the course, so that the information is absorbed step by step.
I would like to express special gratitude to the teacher - Valeria Voronkova! She was always in touch, gave very detailed feedback, motivated and supported The online reviews themselves were conducted in a very pleasant and friendly atmosphere!
Of course, I recommend the course to anyone who wants to improve their artistic skills and get high-quality feedback from a professional!
I completed the course "Game Developer for Unity" and fully received what I expected — knowledge and practical experience in creating games. The teacher explained the material in a very accessible way, covered the entire planned program and even more. Although classes were held twice a week, support was available for all seven days, which helped a lot in difficult moments. It was an incredibly interesting and rewarding experience! Thanks!
The course on environment concept art is excellent and extensive. Daria, the teacher, gave the whole group so much motivation and attention that it would be enough for me for another year. The discussions were informative, she was always in touch. In addition to the analysis, there were mini-lectures for 15 minutes, for example, about styles, Blender, various chips and platforms for artists. I was looking forward to the debriefing, and after the course my skills grew noticeably. Thanks to her direct participation, I started learning Blender during the course and am very happy about it. I want to continue studying, show my work and tell you where and how they were made.
However, the lectures are old, especially in comparison with the course on digital painting, where the material is clearer and more colorful. There are often moments here when a lecture was recorded a long time ago, apparently from someone else's online lecture, and you don't hear the students' questions, but the teacher is talking to himself. In general, when you see a concise and beautiful course, it seems strange. But the information is still relevant.
Overall conclusion: five stars, super duper, thank you for being there!
She took two courses "Fundamentals of digital drawing" (Vladimir Stafintsov) and "Fundamentals of digital painting" (Ulyana Demidovich). I am happy with the courses: the programs are clear, without water, everything is on the case. The teachers are wonderful! Feedbacks are always deployed and on time. I definitely recommend it!
I took the course "Fundamentals of digital drawing"
and I still felt great! In addition to the fact that now there are more high-quality works in the portfolio, I also got good skills and chips for more productive work. The lectures are informative, the feedback from the mentor is constructive and encouraging, which is also important, since this course is not for those who need to take a free minute, but for those who are willing to spend time learning and practicing.
Thank you!! ^-^
I took a course in environmental concept art in this studio. The eight months of training left extremely pleasant impressions. First of all, the course provided a clear understanding of the pipeline of working with isometric objects and props, as well as with a full-fledged illustration. Now I feel much more confident in working with casual graphics. The lectures on the website are relevant and informative. And, since access to the course remains for life, I am glad that in the future they can be revised in an updated version)
Special thanks to the mentor - Vladislav Moroz - for support throughout the course. There was an individual approach to each student, the desire of the teacher to develop an individual style for each, rather than impose his own vision.
It's nice that during the training the teacher shared his "chips" for working with Photoshop and other programs) Not to mention the fact that the amount of practice was such that I find hotkeys on the keyboard almost without looking😁
I plan to continue my studies in this studio in the future)
She took the course "Fundamentals of digital painting" with Gleb Astashenk. I liked everything very much, the studio is cozy, the atmosphere is creative) The pre-recorded lectures were of high quality, with a lot of visual examples, speedpoints and explanations. The curator also provided additional information, motivated the group to complete the entire course, gave professional feedback and shared useful resources!) Thanks to the studio for the excellent course!)
I have already completed two courses here: digital drawing and painting. I am very glad that I came across this studio: wonderful, responsive teachers who will always explain incomprehensible questions and help achieve the best result. The courses themselves were intense, there was a lot of work every week, so I saw a lot of progress in drawing. Thanks for the work!
I liked it on the whole. Good teachers, fast and high-quality feedback from them. They are pleasant in communication, the team is positive. I plan to continue studying with them!
I took a course as a 3D environment artist. In general, the school left a positive impression: the mentor's lessons were clear and interesting. I got a whole lot of knowledge. If there were any administrative problems, everything was quickly resolved. There were a couple of disadvantages, I didn't really like the course teacher: there were questions that he didn't know the answers to regarding what we were taught. Even outside of classes, it was impossible to get an answer from him to the problem that you had in the process of completing the same thesis. Among the disadvantages of studying, I want to note that there were students who did nothing and did not try, you are doing your third job, but we all received a graduation certificate. The conclusion was that you could do nothing and get a certificate.
I took 2 courses in this studio "Fundamentals of digital painting" and "Concert art environment". The first one is suitable for those who are just getting acquainted with digital art, the second one is for leveling up their skills. The last course turned out to be very intense, personally it was hard for me to combine it with work, but the result was worth it, I see a huge difference between my before and after) many thanks to mentor Vladislav for the motivation to sit down at the tablet as often as possible, help in finding meanings and magic kicks)
I took the course "Fundamentals of digital painting", I liked everything, I got a lot of useful knowledge. Thanks to the teacher for the constant feedback and help with the work.
Hello everyone I took the course "Game Interface Design (UI/UX)". The course program was rich and included a lot of useful information.
The most interesting for me were the classes where we compiled the user flow, analyzed the game interfaces for successful and not very successful solutions, came up with our first pop-up and then animated it in Adobe After Effects.
Our curator Evgenia Volkolovskaya is a wonderful girl! She supported our ideas and gave advice on how to improve them. She was constantly in touch with us, for which I thank her very much!!!
The last month, which was allotted for the diploma, was quite stressful, sometimes I did not have time to finish some things. Therefore, I was glad that the school provided such incidents and gave us time to finalize our work. It's great that you don't have to worry that you won't have time to finish)
I'm happy with the result of studying at Fungy studio! Thanks!
She took the course "Fundamentals of digital drawing", the teacher is Vladimir Stafintsov. I was completely delighted with the course! Informative classes, clear explanation, constant help. I will definitely come back here for further training!
She took the course "3D environment artist" with Dmitry Leus. I was not just satisfied, but absolutely delighted! It was very valuable to learn from a real professional. All the lectures and the teacher's feedback were as structured and understandable as possible. Everything was done step by step and as a result, excellent completed works for the portfolio turned out. The campus format with recorded lectures was very convenient to study. This is my fourth year at Fungi Studio. I definitely recommend the studio to those who want to work in the field of CG, or develop in a new direction for themselves.
Hello!
She took part in the Studio "Digital Painting" with Tatiana Lobko and "Concept Art of Characters" with Andrey Levchenko.
I highly recommend that you get to them for training, perhaps on the most successful occasion. I got a chance to go and study with the mentors themselves in order to finish the courses themselves well!
There is a separate technical part for which I would like a more updated 3 modules and an update to the course itself.
I liked painting because of the theory and understanding of the basic terms of how color and light work.
I can definitely write that if there was another mentor who does not have so much burning eyes in his profession. Maybe it turned out to be a different result. I thank myself and the studio for such unrealistic results from scratch (since May 2023 I started working in software as a beginner)
I took a course on character concept art online. I liked everything, it wasn't my first year in the studio. The teacher is Anton Fort. I purposefully went to him, I was very pleased with the result. Very clear and constructive feedback, with examples and detailed explanations, communication with the teacher was not only at the lecture. Creative freedom in the realization of your own artistic vision, but competently and correctly under the strict guidance. Thanks to Anton, the studio and the whole group for their collaboration and inspiration))
I took two courses in this studio. I was satisfied. The information is presented consistently and clearly. Teachers are always ready to help with any questions or problems that arise. I plan to develop further in this direction.
Thank you for your work.
I took the course "Concept of environment" with Daria Zaryankina for the thrill!
It's been a wonderful 8 months.
Daria created a friendly warm atmosphere in our chat room from the first day and we were constantly together: helping each other, sharing experiences)). Dasha supported me in every nape of my neck). I am infinitely grateful to her and I am sure that every artist with her will be able to open up to CG art, comprehend its secrets and sooooo pump up the already existing skill (even if this artist is anxious, or hard to comprehend 3D, or a completely closed-in criator)))
I am 37 years old, I have an academic background and I worked all the time in the tradition.
I dreamed and was afraid to master CG. And of course, when I first dealt with everything on my own, I was often depressed and suffered))
And in this course, I discovered new universes quickly!
and everyone in the chat immediately helped me and cheered for me and supported me.
We tweeted for at least 4 hours every Wednesday evening (Dasha gave us a fitback, drew live, rustled pinterest pages) We used to chill together). Dasha also always shared new products and all sorts of interesting observations and reflections in the art_geimindustry. And how long have we been grinding "what kind of animal is this "AI"?)) It's a pity Dasha doesn't run the channel(
And the lecturer Vladislav Moroz himself puzzled me a little at the final analysis) But he's cool) As an artist, he is a very talented guy and his course under the wing of Daria Zaryakina will be 100% suitable for you!
I took the course "Concept art of the environment" with Vladislav Moroz and was very satisfied.
Classes were held in an online format.
The presentation of the material in the lectures was clear and memorable. Each lecture ended with a speedpoint, where the teacher demonstrates the practical application of the material.
Searching for an idea, sketching, working with 3D, bringing it to the final state — at each stage there are difficult moments, which were successfully dealt with thanks to weekly detailed reviews of works, edits and the opportunity to get quick feedback in the educational chat.
I would like to mention the work of our teacher Vladislav. His attentiveness to each work, edits and tips for correcting mistakes, discussion, during which new ideas appeared, and at the same time humor, made the course comfortable and productive.
It is better to come to the course with basic knowledge, because it is voluminous, will require effort and time, but the result is worth it :)
my husband took the course "3D ARTIST
ACCORDING TO THE CHARACTERS," Igor Shevchenko has 6 months. It's a complete disappointment. They said that they would teach from scratch for 6 months, and as a result, even the mentor did not try to work on beginners, but devoted time only to advanced ones. And he said in plain text that if he spends a lot of time explaining the material, he will not have time to give it all in 6 months. And my husband, after completing the course, did one job under his "guidance", which was absolutely not competitive, and half-lived the certificate on the shelf. He was not invited to an internship, even for an interview with such a portfolio.
She completed the course "Digital illustration" in online format (teacher Pavel Starikov).
The course is excellent, I am very glad that I decided to take it. I received a lot of new and useful knowledge for myself. The material in the lectures is available, they can be reviewed, which is very useful if some points are forgotten. In addition, you can ask the teacher any questions you have directly in the chat. Every week there was a detailed analysis of homework, where the necessary edits and tips for improving skills were made for each work. The tasks are diverse, go from simpler to more complex and allow you to focus on many aspects of digital drawing.
But first it is better to have basic knowledge, because the information is voluminous and there is quite a lot of it. But I feel that after completing this course, I got a good base, developed my drawing skills to the next level and am better versed in this field. I am very pleased with the result!
She has completed courses on the basics of digital drawing. Before the courses, I had never used Photoshop or drawn using a computer, but even this fact did not prevent me from successfully completing the course because everything is very accessible and understandable or I was lucky with the teacher. He is always in touch and will explain everything if there are any problems with homework. I am glad that my first courses were held at this school. Special thanks to Vladimir Stafintsov
It's a great school. I took a course on the basics of digital drawing, I do not plan to dwell on it, because I will really like the approach to learning. The information is structured, with a minimum of water. I especially want to mention Vladimir's teacher: this is a mentor who is really interested in achieving the main result - improving the skill. Growth is felt, and this is the main indicator that the process is organized correctly
I took a course on environment with Daria Zaryankina. It has been a great 8 months: there is a lot of material, the course is very rich and, without a doubt, useful. I am especially very pleased with the teacher who came to me. Daria gave constructive criticism, supported and always answered any questions. The impressions were only positive
I've taken three courses in the last year and a half. Drawing, painting and character concept!
A lot of work has been done to get to the character course, but I didn't live up to my expectations. I want to express my great gratitude to my mentor Andrey Levchenko, thanks to his support and skills, and most importantly his responsiveness (not all courses allow the teacher to write to himself in person) the course was good! Andrey is a real expert!
About the course. The course has not been updated for a long time, there were problems with the blender, since the buttons are outdated. I went to the course with the desire to improve my design skills, I wanted to learn how to do something outstanding, but I was engaged in design for at most 4 weeks out of 24+ weeks, the rest of the time was just a render. What is the meaning of the course on characters, where 3 times less time is allocated for learning forms and rhythms than just for the final work. We studied to finish the work at the base, where we studied materials and color, and it would be more reasonable to hone different topics and thinking for weeks on the concept. I felt like I could help develop an idea from Andrey, only because of this I changed my approach to creating design, the course itself did not really contribute to this. Otherwise, I am happy with the organization, a great place, good teachers!
I am very glad that I decided to take courses in 3D animation at this school! The program was thoughtful and interesting, and the teacher was a professional in his field. After six months of training, I got a good knowledge base and skills that helped me start developing in this field. I learned about 3D model animation technologies, learned how to work with various tools, and also understood how to create high-quality animation. The course is useful for those who are just starting their way in this field. After completing it, it will be easier for you to develop in this direction. I recommend this school to anyone who wants to start their journey in the world of 3D animation!
She completed the course "Design of game interfaces UX / UI. There are no complaints about the course, only a positive impression. The lectures provide a lot of useful information, including all the points related to the development of interfaces. I especially liked the lectures on Adobe After Effects, technical preparation of files, and Blender. I would like to thank teacher Evgenia Volkolovskaya for a high-quality and objective assessment of the completed task. Thanks!
She took the course "Fundamentals of digital drawing" from Vladimir Stafintsov and never regretted that she decided to master a new direction for herself - drawing in numbers.
Before the course, I tried to master the figure on my own, but the attempt was unsuccessful, and I wanted to draw.
I was very, very pleased with the course. The lecture material is presented in a structured manner, which does not cause a lot of dumb questions "How do I do that? And what do I need to do in the end?" The lecturer explains everything in simple language, which cannot but be captivating, specific examples are given, there is no water at all. Everything is very competent and clear.
The course was very fruitful for me, there was no time to be bored))
Special thanks to the teacher - Vladimir Stafintsov! He is a professional and just a good and pleasant person! He explains in detail and very clearly and explains if there are any flaws / errors somewhere, and also throws up some useful life hacks for quick and "painless" work) I can say with confidence that Vova is a teacher who wants to improve his skill further!
In general, the courses provide me with an excellent base and I do not plan to stop there! Thanks!
She took the course "fundamentals of digital drawing". The buff is incredible! In 4 months, those who have not previously studied drawing will learn the basics.
It's hard, a lot of practice, but what a result🔥 thank you very much to the administrators and teachers!🫶🏻💕
I took a course on 3D environment from the teacher Evgeny Nichiporchik. I liked everything very much, the mentor was always in touch and attentive to my classmates, giving time to everyone. The video tutorials are interesting and relevant so far. There is a lot of useful information that is difficult to find on the web. I've grown a lot as an artist and I keep moving on!)
She took the course "fundamentals of digital drawing". The course is interesting and detailed, the material is presented easily and in detail. The course helped me switch to Photoshop after drawing in Krita and SAI. The teacher Zhenya was always in touch with us, which simplified the course, Zhenya always treated with understanding some difficulties in the educational process and explained the shortcomings in the work in an accessible way.
I recently graduated from the course "Fundamentals of Digital Painting" (teacher Ulyana Demidovich), which is already my second course from this school.
I was insanely satisfied with the course! The lecture material is well structured, all topics are explained in detail and analyzed with specific examples. A huge plus: good navigation on the online learning platform, all video tutorials are signed and it is always easy to find the right lesson if, for example, I forgot something and decided to review it again, as well as lessons and reviews are always publicly available.
I would like to say a special thank you to Ulyana. She is beautiful not only as a professional, but also as a person insanely pleasant! Reviews of works and feedback are always on the case, as I noticed, she often starts with compliments to the work and notes strengths, and voices edits very delicately, which allows students not to lose confidence in themselves and their skills.
In summary, I would like to say that Fungi Studio is a very cozy place where you really want to study)
I took the course *Concept art of characters*. In general, there were positive impressions. Lesson recordings remain available, the teacher was in touch and helped if there were questions in the course of work. I recommend it!
I graduated from the course "Fundamentals of digital painting" and did not regret coming here again! The staff and teachers are open and responsive, which marked the beginning of productive work. I would like to thank teacher Ulyana for a high-quality and objective assessment of the completed task, for responsiveness and adjustments in the work! The release was easy, all the wishes and feedback were successfully analyzed. Thank you so much for your hard work!
At this school, I took the online course "Concept Art of the environment" for 8 months, and I want to say that it was a very cool upgrade and a long way, which was not easy for me, but in the end I managed to reach the end and complete it.
I would like to say that in order to go for it, you need to be ready for this, you will have to devote a lot of time to study and try to realize it as a part of life for a long period in order to keep up, do everything in time and not despair.
The school itself is very cool, a convenient system for learning, there was no discomfort or inconvenience during the training during the entire period. The training program itself is very intense, you will have to delve into a lot and put it into practice, repeat and repeat until you succeed and understand how and what you need to do. You need to be prepared for this, nothing will work by itself, everything depends on the invested forces.
I would like to thank Vladislav for creating this course, a detailed description of all the subtleties of creating art, examples, speedpaints and a ton of information on the history of architecture.
Special thanks to our wonderful teacher Daria Zaryankina, who was with us throughout the journey, guided us, helped, comforted, supported and simply created a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere for learning and communication. I'm going to miss you.
After completion, I feel a little sad, like after reading an interesting book. I want to keep going, I'm already used to this rhythm and the guys from our group, but there's nothing you can do, all the good things end and you need to move on.
I definitely recommend this school.
I have completed 3 courses: digital drawing, painting, character concept. Before Fungi studio, I had no experience in learning to draw.
I can confidently recommend this school to anyone who wants to start realizing themselves in cg and is ready to work hard for this. Special thanks to the teacher Andrey Levchenko.
She took the course "3D character artist" from the teacher Igor Shevchenko.
The course was quite extensive. In the process, we got acquainted in detail with the whole package of programs, without which it is now difficult to imagine the pipeline of character creation.
Information was always presented in simple and understandable language for those who are not familiar with 3d at all, and all topics were immediately fixed in practice. There were also recordings of classes that you could always go back to to consolidate what you had learned. Feedback for homework was also given in the video recording format, which is also very convenient.
I was very pleased that the teacher placed great emphasis not only on the technical part of the work, but also on the artistic, showed many examples of how to "do / don't" do it, and explained why it works :)
Instead of 6 months, the course lasted a little longer, so be prepared to devote a little more time to this)
Classes were held in an offline format, and during the course I really liked the atmosphere of the studio:)
After completing the course, you will have a good knowledge base to boldly continue your journey in 3D, however, I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with learn the basics on your own so that during the course you can focus on more complex and interesting things.
She graduated from the course "UI/UX Game Interface Design". An infinitely gorgeous course that includes all the points related to the development of the interface and not only. Detailed explanations of each stage of the work: from the idea to the cutting for transfer to the developers. I learned new information for myself, which I already use in my work. A very warm atmosphere, always clear and competent feedback from the teacher Evgenia Volkolovskaya. Thanks ❤
I took the course “Fundamentals of digital painting online" and was very satisfied. A year ago I decided to do cg professionally and accordingly came to the course without much knowledge. The course smoothly introduced the basics of color with the help of lecture videos and homework (drawing still lifes). After the still lifes, themes were already being asked and I had to come up with a concept myself. It was difficult for me here: I spent 40% of my time on the concept (and all 60% on the diploma). There were no special problems with the course itself, I spent 5-6 hours 6 days a week.
As a result, in 4 months I mastered the training base and methodology, which allows me to continue my studies on my own and start drawing my own projects.
Ekaterina Bystrova took an online course on creating an environment in 3db. The mentor was Ekaterina Bystrova. I have no complaints, only positive impressions. All my expectations from the course were met. All the training materials are of very high quality, everything is thought out, consistently, clearly, without water. If something didn't work out after watching the tutorial or it was unclear, then Ekaterina always came to the rescue, chewed, explained. 99% of my questions have been answered. As a result, at the end I had the coolest jobs, which I probably would never have done without the course

She graduated from the course "3D environment artist" at Maya. I specially chose the offline format to communicate with the teacher and the guys. I liked the course, it's a very rich program, but it's a bit complicated for beginners in terms of information)
The teacher Ilya Mikhailov is cool, answered our questions and helped, you can see how much he likes this area himself)
It would be great to add events for 3rd graders, because there was not enough communication with people who are already in this field.
I completed the 3D environment course and I can say with confidence that it was an exciting and fruitful experience. I would like to note the professionalism of the teacher, who provided detailed feedback and always helped to find a solution in difficult situations. The course program is structured in such a way that learning proceeds from the basics to more complex topics, which allowed me to easily assimilate new knowledge and apply it in practice. As a result, I have expanded my portfolio with three new works made in the Blender and Substance 3D Painter programs. I am sure that the new skills and knowledge gained during the training will be useful to me in the future. I recommend this course to anyone who is interested in three-dimensional graphics and seeks to expand their arsenal of skills in this area.
She took two courses at Fungi Studio: the basics of drawing (curator Zhenya Ermolovich) and the basics of painting (curator Ulyana Demidovich). I definitely recommend this studio to those who professionally want to learn how to draw and work in the cg drawing format. A really strong base on theory, which is backed up by practical tasks every time. The skill grows quickly and confidently. And the tasks are all interesting. Personally, I wasn't bored for a minute. I studied in a campus format with weekly online meetings with a curator. The training is designed so that I not only completed the task, but also corrected mistakes after the curator's feedback, without postponing it to "oh, then I'll finish the thread later." Thanks to this approach, I began to notice my own shortcomings more often and correct them in advance. I liked both curators: they are responsive, give constructive criticism, share personal experiences. Thank you so much to my wife for a detailed analysis of the completed tasks, optimism and patience))) Respect to Ulyana for an incredibly cheerful mood, jokes and ease of communication. I am very glad that I found this studio. Now I am continuing my studies at the V. Moroz concept art environment course (spoiler: delighted! :) )
I really liked the 3D environment course. During all this time, the teacher Ekaterina explained everything clearly and the classes were never boring!!! I am very grateful for the course
She completed the course "3D for 2D artist" (online). I came to the course for additional knowledge in the field of 3D to speed up the workflow and just try myself in something new) I did not regret my choice at all. The course is capacious, you will have to work very hard, so you additionally learn to allocate your time correctly) If you need good pumping and cool work for a portfolio, then you are here) I also want to say a huge thank you to Valeria Voronkova, I put everything on the shelves, gave high-quality and fast feedback! I really liked the course, the expectations were met :)
I have already completed my second course at this school - "Fundamentals of digital Painting" and have never regretted it! Of all the schools that I have considered before, this, in my subjective opinion, is the best. The prices are not sky-high, the advertising is not intrusive, and the courses are intensive and useful. Information is provided without water, in an interesting and understandable language with examples. Of the minuses in this course, I can only say that I personally did not have enough information about drawing grass in the lesson about organics. But as long as I follow this studio, their development never stands still. The course has become clearly more intense than the same drawing, but I don't consider it a minus, but I consider it a good workout in front of the industry. I definitely advise you to take this course!
P.s. Ulyana is forever in the heart ♥
I am very glad that I took a course on the basics of digital drawing. It was a wonderful experience. I received a lot of feedback and support from the teacher Vladimir Stafintsov and the administrators, who were always attentive and professional. Thank you very much! I'm going to continue my studies
