CG Spectrum left me ready to kickstart my career.
During my time at CG Spectrum my skill as an artist and concept artist specifically, raised to heights I'd never imagined possible. I fell deep into the rabbit hole during this course, only because CG Spectrum offered so much extra information.
Thanks to CG Spectrum, I am a lot closer to my dream of being a concept artist.
The curriculum structure is very reasonable, with both academic basic theories and useful suggestions for career paths. Thanks to my mentors, Brian Huang and Victoria Sarkissian, who not only taught me drawing skills and design techniques, but more importantly, they also gave me the confidence to continue working hard.
This is how teaching should be, I learned so much faster!
I signed up for the concept art mentorship program and I'm so glad I did. I'd been wanting to get into concept art for a while but didn't know how to go about it and watching endless YouTube videos wasn't getting me anywhere. The one-to-one mentorship was perfect for me; not only was my mentor awesome, but every lesson without fail had several eureka moments when my work was critiqued and painted over!
I'm extremely satisfied with how far I've come.
The very personal learning experience I had through CG spectrum encouraged me to dig deep with questions and figure out how to really improve. I got the attention I needed from my mentor and broke through the frustrating plateau I had been at before starting. Looking back on my old artwork, I'm extremely satisfied with how far I've come.
The most important quality of CG Spectrum is that they concentrate on training their students in a specific discipline.
They know that the industry is full of experienced and trained people, and their goal is to find jobs for their student and not just pump out useless degrees. Instead of having a small understanding of the whole production pipeline, students have a competent and full understanding of specific parts of the pipeline. I honestly believe that these guys have built this institution to get people jobs and help grow the industry into something even more amazing than it is now. Big props to CG Spectrum.
It's one of the best discoveries of my life.
Never been so happy to study before. I've learnt so much in such a short time, and not only with the awesome mentors here, but thanks to this big community too! Thanks, CG Spectrum!
I legitimately love this school!
I had a bit of a rocky start due to a crazy working schedule, but the team managed to help me work out a way to still pursue my dreams while dealing with my crazy lifestyle. Now I'm on my way to completing my course and chasing my dream job. All of the teachers are wonderfully friendly, fun, hard-working and truly want to make sure that you understand the subject material. They're only ever an email away - I've never met a harder working and more dedicated bunch. Thanks for everything guys!
I learned a ton of great skills with CG Spectrum!
Brandon Reimchen was a fantastic mentor! I'm currently doing freelance work creating art assets for an indie game title. Thank you, CG Spectrum!
The community is welcoming and helpful.
I couldn't be happier with my time at CG Spectrum. Communication with the mentors is really easy and they push you to achieve the best. I really enjoyed my experience. I would totally recommend.
Utterly brilliant!
If you really want to learn how to properly make concept art and illustration or just improve your art, then this is one of the best courses that you could do. The amount that you learn from the tutor and the assignments is huge - it would take many years of self-led practice to learn what is taught here. Fantastic experience!
