If you want to become a professional illustrator or concept artist, you need a clear map of how to get there. This course is for artists, like you, who understand learning takes dedication, practice, and trial & error.

You'll get 15 tutorial lessons with guided assignments for each lesson. You can work at your own pace, but each lesson is designed to take you a week. Think of this like a college-level course (but at a fraction of the cost).

Each lesson gives you step-by-step explanations for the elements of digital painting.

Over the course of 15 lessons, we'll cover the basic foundations, then work up to creating complex faces, lighting, concepts, and even stories.
I've adapted the concepts I used to teach at ArtCenter into this online course. You can expect the same structure, instruction, and rigor as a college-level course.
