Concept art is a form of illustration commonly used in the film, video game and animation industries to create the first visualisations of ideas before they are put into production. This might be 3D modelling for games, the creation of physical props, costumes or sets in film, or the final art created for animation.

During this course, we’ll teach you the fundamentals of drawing, perspective, anatomy and digital painting, as well as basic photo manipulation and 3D software skills. You’ll learn to design and render objects ranging from simple to complex, characters, creatures and environments, as well as create high-end illustrations.

At the end of the year, you’ll get to develop your own campaign for your final project and assemble an industry-ready portfolio showcasing your unique talents.
