8-Month Journey to Professional Artist

Each phase builds your skills systematically. By month four, you're already working on real client briefs. No fluff, no theory-only classes.

Months 1-2

Foundation & Tools

Master Photoshop and Illustrator for game art. Learn color theory that actually works in mobile games. We start with character design fundamentals because that's where most studios need help. You'll finish with three polished character concepts.

Months 3-4

Environment & UI Design

Create game worlds that players want to explore. Focus on Southeast Asian themes since that's what local studios love. Plus user interface design for mobile games - buttons, menus, and icons that work on small screens.

Months 5-6

Animation & Effects

Bring your art to life with 2D animation techniques. Learn particle effects and transitions that make mobile games feel premium. This is where your work starts looking really professional.

Months 7-8

Portfolio & Industry Prep

Build a portfolio that gets you hired. Practice presenting your work like a pro. We'll connect you with local game studios for feedback and potential opportunities. Some of our students land interviews before graduation.

Learn From Working Professionals
