about the course

What will you learn?

Discover how to create professionally polished art for films, video games, and publishing! With mentorship from an established artist and a curriculum focused on job outcomes, the Digital Illustrator Specialization helps you build critical job skills and a portfolio to impress employers.

As a professional illustrator, your job is equal parts director, concept artist, painter, cinematographer, and 3D modeller. At CG Spectrum, you’ll get hands-on experience putting these skills together to create the illusion of space in a 2D narrative moment.

You’ll master complex illustration techniques and learn how to communicate effectively through art, creating compelling work that captivates and inspires. Meet your mentor online for weekly classes, get personalised video critiques of your work, and graduate with a portfolio of original creations!

Discover how to use your human or creature figure to convey the story of your artwork.

What you’ll learn:

How to manipulate light, value, and atmosphere
Gather quality reference material
Receive constructive critiques
Speed up workflows with 3D software

The end goal of a successful illustration is to accurately tell a story and sell a product. Explore various commercial markets and learn about creating book covers, card gaming art, and marketing art for film and games. Experiment with hand painting, photo-bashing, and 3D paint-overs. Assignments are treated like real commissions with hard deadlines so you learn to work under pressure.

How to turn rough sketches into final art
Manage time and meet deadlines
Create art for various markets
Work with specific client briefs
