The Foundations Bundle

So you’re looking to build up your drawing skills?

Well, you’ve come to the right place! This Bundle is entirely focused on developing your fundamental drawing skills that will later expand into more imaginative realms — comics, animation, illustration, gaming conept art, and more. Over time we’ve learned that many of our students want to run before they can walk, artistically speaking, and that it is instead better to focus on developing your confidence with critical skills to encourage understanding of the forms you’re drawing first.

These skills are also not commonly taught thoroughly in high-school level education, so we have decided to create a comprehensive learning pathway that enables you to learn these skills and also have a ton of fun while doing so.

This bundle is available in three different versions:

Version 1 / Base version - A good starter set of courses for those who are just beginning their learning with us.

Total one-on-one live feedback sessions: 28 1-hour sessions

Version 2 - This version of the bundle is upgraded with two extra foundational 4-week courses. The first is tailored to develop drawing in perspective; this skill is typically under-developed in every student. The second 4-week course we’ve added will help you use your observational drawing skills to draw believable-looking objects, environments, and characters from your imagination. This version adds on…

  • Drawing II: Imaginative Sketching (4 week course - 1 hour review sessions)

  • Perspective II: Advanced (4 week course - 1 hour review sessions)

Version 3 - In this final version, we’ve extended the Personal Mentorship portion of this Bundle to 18 sessions, and this will be split between multiple drawing tutors.

  • This is our most frequently asked question, and our answer is always: we cannot guarantee anything, but what we can do is:

    • give you consistent feedback on your artwork

    • keep your work schedule on track

    • give you a sense of accountability

    • answer any questions you have along the way

    • give you an accurate sense of what is expected of you as a candidate to be accepted

    • encourage you to meet our fellow students, who you might eventually be friends with in the program!

    We also don't make guarantees because you are the critical ingredient in this equation. Do you do the assigned work on time? Do you ask questions? Do you show up with more than asked? Etc.

    Your passion, and your hard-work are what guarantee you opportunities in life. 😊

  • It is very hard to do this!

    Since you book directly on our Calendar using a link, you can choose a time that works for you. You also have ample opportunity to reschedule if your schedule changes (this is especially valuable for anyone enrolled in extra curricular activities in high-school).

    As long as you cancel or reschedule a booking 24 hours in advance, it's fine by us to reschedule as frequently as you need. You may reschedule each session up to 3 times. This is very flexible!

  • We have written a blog post on this subject exactly! Please read it here.
