LITTLE ABOUT ME
I am currently working as a senior character artist and animator for Inovecs Games Cor. where I have been for almost seven years. I studied and completed my degree in digital arts in Bogota, Colombia 15 or so years ago, which gave me a good foundation in all things media, 3D, and the theoretical side of visual culture.
I started working as a freelance 3D artist in a couple of commercial and design studios, but my goal was always to start an art studio of my own. I spent my free time working on my skills and portfolio which eventually landed me a job as a character artist at a large gaming studio in San Francisco.
This job turned into a long-term contract that allowed me to thrive in a diverse and creative environment. All this led to giving me high experience and the chance to begin expanding my services to freelancing and mentoring.

Brad, 4 lessons with Paul

Very professional and very knowledgeable professor

Maya Animation, Rigging and much more on how to navigate Maya apps and also helped me fix the Maya app that was not working properly on my computer. Very patient and detailed teacher..I will keep him until I graduate because he is a lot better professor than my professor.

Very knowledgeable and patient

Paul is an amazing tutor. He is patient and extremely professional and knowledgeable. He listens to the needs of the student. We are very lucky to have found him.

Life-saver!!!

I was on the borderline of dropping this class, and Paul helped me finish my project in Blender and helped me understand Blender more than I had all semester. Literally saved my grade. Not only did he help me finish my work quickly, but he also made sure I understood what we were doing along the way so I could be able reproduce it on my own without his help in the future. He is so knowledgeable about the programs and design process, and he was honest with me about what he thought realistic progress could be for me. He has really fast communication and is so accommodating and flexible with scheduling. I would HIGHLY recommend booking a session with Paul. If I ever need help with Blender or Maya again, I'm immediately messaging Paul šŸ¤£ I can't recommend him enough. 11/10

Knowledgeable and thorough animation tutor

Paul gave me an overview of 2D animation on Blender so I could feel comfortable navigating the software while completing my first Animation 101 assignments. He also made sure my submissions were top-notch by ensuring that I followed the professor's instructions.

Troy, 31 lessons with Paul

well informed guidance

Slowly getting more and more of a grasp on Blender, and Paul had the insight to guide me to try out other programs as well. I'm gonna be exploring around in Maya and seeing where that takes me!

Knowledgeable and very helpful.

Paul is an excellent tutor. He focuses most on the student's needs and the student's success. Paul has a ton of knowledge in 3D animation, he patiently goes through each step in a pace that matches the student's capabilities. Paul also helped me find the proper computer programs and accessories so I can learn better and grow faster in 3D animation. Thanks Paul for all your help.
