You will need a sketchbook, a pencil and eraser, access to digital painting software such as Photoshop / Krita (free alternative) and at least an entry-level Wacom drawing tablet or similar. Other tools like fineliners, coloured pencils and a putty eraser are optional, but not required.

The training is hosted on a online learning platform allowing learners to progress at their own pace. There is a structured progression with each module building on from the last, starting with fundamentals before moving onto design, illustration and world building. There is a Discord community for participants to share work and collaborate.

You can expect to develop all the skills you need to create your own characters, environments, assets, illustrations, and original worlds. Other creatives trained using this system have worked as concept artists and illustrators in film, games, and animation on projects such as One Piece, 1923 and Boy Kills World. Others have gone on to create their own video games, children’s books, and original intellectual property.
