As a child, Emily loved drawing and wouldn't part with her favorite pencils. But then serious adult life came, and Emily chose a serious adult job, with an office and a daily routine.
Not so long ago, she was given a new iPad Pro. Emily remembered her childhood passion and tried to draw in Procreate several times. It didn’t turn out so well, frankly speaking. Apparently, a tablet is not the same as a pencil and paper.
But Emily didn’t lose her urge to draw. More and more, she's been scrolling through the Instagram profiles of her favorite digital artists, hoping to someday create artwork like theirs. Sometimes Emily thinks,
But Emily didn’t lose her urge to draw. More and more, she's been scrolling through the Instagram profiles of her favorite digital artists, hoping to someday create artwork like theirs. Sometimes Emily thinks,
Procreate is so complicated, you'd need a lifetime to understand it!
Those guys are geniuses, and you're not.
Your time has passed, don't even think about that.
You won't have enough time.
It's just a hobby.
You're not talented enough.

Bryant Koshu is a concept artist with 10 years of experience in the industry. He’s created toy concepts for Mattel, Hasbro and Spinmaster as part of Yellow Tracksuit Entertainment, as well as drawn character concepts for the game Dragon Collection, and surroundings for AAA and VR titles.
Bryant was once in Emily's shoes. Here are some of the drawings from his "previous life".
Digging up step-by-step instructions on the Internet.
Holding on and believing in himself.
Finding a mentor for feedback.
Finding up-to-date information, not tutorials for outdated software.
It took Bryant years to overcome these difficulties. He looked for all the materials himself and tended to his own motivation, and now he's ready to help you, aspiring artist. He’ll do everything he can to make sure you make progress a lot faster.
Among those enrolling are both traditional artists and inexperienced novices, humanitarian and technical experts, hobbyists and those who dream of making games and movies.

Before the course: an English teacher at school, drawing was a personal challenge. Once in childhood, he was told: no talent - no future in a creative profession. More and more often, Victor heard from artists that the important thing is a lot of practice, not talent.

Kate,

Before the course:
Worked as a secretary, and was fascinated by everything about CG. Kate once attended an art school and was good at drawing on paper. But a lot was forgotten. It seemed that to deal with all the peculiarities of computer graphics is something beyond the realm of possibility.
During the course:
Training was difficult, her hand stubbornly refused to draw straight lines, and her brain — to remember the hotkeys. The course program was a rescue: there was an hour to practice for every 5 minutes of theory. Want it or not, it's easy to remember everything if you complete all your homework. As a result, Kate managed to make good friends with the graphics tablet and Photoshop.
After the course:
Kate continued learning and practicing, studied game graphics, character concept art, anatomy, and even 3D-software. It was now way easier to absorb information and understand other software.
Now:
Works as a concept artist in a game development company — draws character portraits and clothes. She intends to move on with her work, continuously learn, become a cool professional, and make her mark in the CG. Kate says the Digital Drawing course was a significant step in the CG industry, opening up a lot of new opportunities.
Currently working as a 3D artist.

What do I need to start training?
For the course, you need Photoshop and a graphics tablet, or Procreate and an iPad. If you don't have one, you can see the recommendations here (link to the article about tablets).
How do I join the course as a student?
To join the course with a Standard package, fill out the registration form and make a payment to get immediate access to educational content. For the Premium package, send in an application form and our manager will contact you to tell you the next steps.
When do I get access?
Access to the Standard package will come in an e-mail sent out right after payment. Access to the Premium package will arrive in your inbox two days before the course start date.
How do the Standard package classes work?
For two months, you'll get lecture material once a week and access to Q&A sessions with the teacher biweekly. This training format is based on community feedback, so feel free to send in your artwork and discuss any issues with your peers in between those updates.
How do the Premium package classes work?
Classes are held twice a week in a group of up to 18 people. One lesson will use prerecorded lecture material and during the week you'll perform a practical task. The second lesson will be a live online meeting, where your teacher will analyze your assignments. Throughout the course, you'll have online support to help you with all your organizational and technical issues outside of class.
ArtCraft has been bringing creative people's dreams to life since 2016. We teach digital art, 2D and 3D graphics, and animation to beginners from square one. Advanced students can upgrade their skills to further their future careers in the video game industry.

During the course:
Drawing was complicated. Everything came out not immediately and not so well. On top of that, Irene lacked time to practice because of her work. But she didn't give up. What motivated her most was her teacher's feedback: no matter how imperfect her homework was, she always got advice that encouraged her to keep going. Every review, she gained more confidence in her potential and desire to create non-stop.
After the course:
She continued to practice and develop, studied anatomy, materials, character concept art. One day she got invited to work in an animation project as a 3D artist, and Irene suddenly realized that she really liked sculpting.
Now:
She is working and continually developing in 3D, designing character concepts. Irene says that digital drawing was a motivating kick and the first step towards a big dream.

During the course:
Robert was losing track of time doing his homework and regular exercises. He was sitting for several hours until he achieved the desired result. The teacher's charisma radiated through the screen, and the fear of making a mistake left after the first lecture.
After the course:
Victor was very fond of drawing, but he lacked something. No matter how dynamic the drawings were, he wanted to add movement. So he started studying 2D animation.
Now:
He works as a freelance illustrator and animator, studying VFX at the same time. He is going to create his own cartoon series for kids to teach them English. Victor says that if he hadn't dared to enroll in the course, he wouldn't have discovered his creative power.
