How do the lessons work?
1. Art supplies
This course requires you to have a computer with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator installed and working, and a functioning mouse.
Next, you will need to have two screens – one to work on and one to follow the lesson. You can use a laptop with an extra monitor, or a computer with two monitors, for instance. The screen doesn’t really matter.
Two screens are necessary to get the best course experience. The simplest way to do that is by simply connecting an extra monitor to your laptop. Two monitors are a standard in the world of graphic design.
Below you can find the list of supplies needed to complete the course.
2. Technical issues
You need a functioning computer with a stable internet connection to participate in online courses. A screen of at least 12” is recommended to make sure you can see all the details clearly. Don’t use a smartphone to watch the lessons – the screen size is too small to deliver the intended experience and lesson quality.
We will ask you to download a couple of free apps designed for comfortable online lessons before the start of the course. Have no fear, all details and simple installation guides will be provided to make sure everyone can do it.
3. Online course
The courses are designed for complete beginners and intermediate artists. In the video, your teacher will create their own work step-by-step, explaining all the moves.
Every lesson starts with a short and interesting theoretical introduction. For every lecture, you will find informative presentations packed with valuable content to enhance your learning journey. There will also be small practical exercises, which are followed by the gradual creation of beautiful artworks.
4. Don't worry about missed lessons
You can choose how much time you will spend on the course and your work. Videos are available for you to watch back again. So you can work at your own pace and on your own time. The slides and other links will also be available to you.
5. How long is the course?
There are 8 lessons and a final bonus lesson at the end. Each lesson is 2 hours long.
In total, you’ll get 18 hours of amazing lessons with the best teachers, as well as tips, references to further reading, and other materials.
6. How much is it?
The price of the course is for 13 very detailed lessons from a video recorded by a professional tutor, including teaching materials, a database of lessons to be watched again for one year, and other benefits. You can also choose the option of chat support from the tutor, who will be online twice a week.
Price for an online course with feedback support is £190.
Price for an online course without feedback support is £140.
7. What else do I need?
To get the best experience, make sure you have enough space and a good light source (a desk lamp, at least), a desk, a chair.
As for the internet connection, one that can play YouTube videos well is more than enough. No special computer is needed – if it doesn’t lag too much during daily use, like web browsing or watching films online, you’re good to go!
