Student reviews

No one can tell you about the school better than our graduates

Susanna Dombayan

“Excellent informative lectures, almost constant communication with the teacher, you can always get a detailed answer to your question. The teacher is above all praise, an excellent professional, easy to communicate with and actively encourages you to delve into the topic and ask any questions, explains in such a way that there are no misunderstood topics. I learned a lot of interesting things, a lot of things that I previously did intuitively and not always correctly, but now I do with an understanding of what works and how. Thanks a lot!".

FAQ

HOW LONG ARE THE LECTURES?

It all depends on the complexity of the topic that is covered in the lecture. From 30 minutes to 2.5 hours. But the lectures are pre-recorded, and you can always pause the video to take a short break.
DO I HAVE TO ATTEND THE ONLINE DISCUSSIONS?

We always recommend live presence, because this way you can ask questions to the mentor in real time. But don’t worry, all online discussions are recorded, and in the event of force majeure, you can watch the discussion in the recording.
HOW LONG DO ONLINE DISCUSSIONS LAST?

Reviews last from 2 to 4 hours. If you have a time difference, your work will be one of the first to be sorted.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO ALLOW FOR DOING HOMEWORK?

It all depends on the speed of your work. Recommended operating time is 1.5-2 hours a day.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO TAKE SEVERAL COURSES IN PARALLEL?

We do not recommend taking several courses at the same time, as this is a heavy burden on the student. Even if you have enough free time, it is better to invest it in completing several homework assignments for one course.
А ЧТО ПОТОМ РЕКОМЕНДУЕТЕ ПРОЙТИ?

The next step is “Basics of CG Drawing”. In this course, you will learn the key principles of drawing on a computer and design your first game object. And if you want to become a professional artist, apply for the “Base for an Artist” program. It will help you develop the skills needed to be a successful specialist. For graduates of “Drawing in Procreate” there is a discount of 2,000 rubles on these courses.
WHEN WILL MY TRAINING START AFTER PAYMENT?
