Neil Gray

"It's been a fun and rewarding experience! I've learned about shape design principles I hadn't encountered in previous attempts studying from anatomy books and the feedback has been really useful. It's helped me a lot with how I approach my personal art projects."

"A down-to-earth instructor who provides solid lessons in basic to advanced skills, as well as valuable workflow and industry insight. Someone who truly cares about his students' learning and artistic growth."

"NRC Gray gave me deep insights into the core design concepts I'd been missing and struggling with. His critiques were strength-based yet laser-focused on skills I could build independently.

Before his mentorship, I rarely followed through on drawing ideas. Now, as I write this, I've completed 150 consecutive days of character designs—with dramatic improvement in my grasp of design principles.

Any serious artist would be lucky to learn from his design philosophy"

"I had taken online drawing and painting classes for about four years before finding NRC Gray's Mentorship. I decided to give it a try, and I'm very glad I did. Neil's knowledge and guidance have been incredibly helpful. His sessions have clarified concepts I struggled with before, and I appreciate how direct and clear he is in his feedback. He tells me what I'm doing well and exactly what I need to improve."
