3D Artist magazine (Issue 29), "Characters Made Easy is an easy-to-follow engaging how-to... Listed as a tutorial these videos feel more like personal tutelage from a master. All the videos are presented in real-time with Martin explaining what he is doing as he does it, which is fantastic for visual learners." Final score 9/10.

Martin Krol, "I have been working with ZBrush since close to it's inception. Initailly I struggled to make anything useful, but like the artists at WETA I noticed that the guys at Pixologic had something really cool on their hands. Over the years and as the package evolved I have stayed in close contact with the developers and have learned a lot about ZBrush. Through watching these videos I hope that you will learn ZBrush's extensive toolset in a much shorter period of time than it took me and wish you the best of luck at the start of your journey into character creation using ZBrush."
