MENTORSHIP

The mentorship is designed for artists who want personalized guidance and portfolio growth. You’ll join me in live weekend sessions that combine in-depth classes with group feedback (10 students max). Every week, you’ll submit assignments and receive individual critique directly from me, helping you refine your skills and stay accountable.

You’ll also get access to a private discord group, where you’ll receive feedback and support from a teaching assistant with amazing skills! This version of the class is limited to a small/cozy group of students to ensure close attention and care is given to each artist. At the end, you’ll have the opportunity to present your project and receive feedback from a special guest!

By the end of this journey, students should have a finished amazing portrait portfolio piece that is created from concept to render (don't worry, you do not need 2d skills for this)!

Hi! I'm Leticia Gillett 

For over 15 years, I’ve taught 3D art with a focus on helping students grow their skills, confidence, and creative voice. Alongside teaching, I’ve worked across character modeling, sculpting, and visual development for leading animation and entertainment studios. My roles include 3D Character Modeling Supervisor and Modeler at Disney Animation, 3D VisDev Artist and Modeler/Sculptor at Netflix Animation, Character Sculptor at Disney Consumer Products, 3D Character Artist at Blizzard Entertainment, and 3D Modeler at DreamWorks Animation.

I see teaching as its own art form. Done well, it can open up new possibilities in a student’s mind. My goal is to inspire, guide, and support students with care, helping them find their own path toward the joy of creative self-expression.

Special class with Filipe Rodrigues 

I'm a 3D character artist, specializing in modeling and visual development. My focus is stylized modeling for animation and games pipelines, as well as 3D printing.
My goal is to create compelling characters that captivate and inspire creativity.

In class, I will be showing how to create real-time hair using hair cards that will make your model look awesome for presentation. Creating stylized hair is such a fun workflow, and nailing that luscious, stylized look requires a specific blend of modeling and texturing! I will also be in class as an 3D assistant.

Beautiful projects and testimonials by my students!

Alex Voyles

"Leticia is incredibly knowledgeable and presents complex art principles in a way that is easy to understand and apply to your own art. She provides a lot of useful resources and materials that I’ll use well after the course has finished. Most importantly, Leticia’s positivity and outlook on our relationship with art as artists fosters an inspiring and encouraging environment. I found myself having fun and loving the creative process again for the first time in a while. Great experience that I can’t recommend enough!"

 Stephen Davidian

"Leticia's mentorship helped me grow so much as an artist, not only technically, but creatively as well. Through her guidance, I learned how to approach character design with more intention."

 Spenser Morgan

"Going into this mentorship most of the characters I had made previously were fanart as I was a bit unsure about creating my own original characters. But Leticia’s process and guidance helped ease that fear and I feel like I’ve really grown through this mentorship. Leticia truly cares about your progress and wants to help you grow and pushes you, in a gentle way, to be the best artist you can be. I feel so much more confident creating characters now."

Christian Asfour

"Leticia's emphasis on maintaining a healthy mindset as an artist was extremely refreshing. The environment was encouraging and supportive, which made the experience even more rewarding. She is an excellent teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ growth, both artistically and personally. This mentorship helped me gain confidence in my workflow and decision-making, while giving me tools I know I’ll continue using in future projects."

Valentina Tedesco 

"I don't want to be like those people who say extreme absurd things like 'this *insert name* changed my life' but this Mentorship truly changed me. She's a true professional and very tough, empathetic and kind person. It's pretty hard to find these two characteristics in only only soul! Lovely! I learned a lot technically and mentally speaking. I couldn't wish for more. It was a blast!"

Matheus Alves Lima

"This class is a game changer!!! I had an amazing time and it opened my eyes for things that I thought I knew but I realize I don't, it was my first step to a new level in my career, for sure I will be another artist after this classes. Thanks Leticia."
