Digital Illustration Series
Six months of progressive workshops designed to build your digital art skills from foundation concepts to professional-level techniques. Each session builds naturally on the previous one.
Progressive Learning Through Practice
Our series format recognizes that digital illustration mastery comes through sustained practice and gradual skill building. Rather than cramming techniques into single workshops, we've designed a journey that allows proper time for each concept to develop.

- Maximum 12 participants for personalized attention
- Take-home projects that reinforce each lesson
- Access to professional-grade software and equipment
- Portfolio development guidance throughout the series
- Guest artist demonstrations and industry insights
