Study concept art & illustration with a professional as your guide. These experienced artists have the skills, knowledge, and industry insights to prepare you for your creative career.

How It Works

The Moment Everything Changes

Every artist who made it has a story about the person who believed in them first. This is how that relationship starts. 

1
Apply & Get Matched
We pair you with a mentor who has walked the exact path you want to walk. Someone who remembers what it felt like to be where you are now, and chose to come back and help others through it.
2
Weekly Sessions
 Every week, your mentor sits with your work and gives it their full attention. No generic feedback. No forum threads. Just honest, experienced guidance from someone who is personally invested in seeing you succeed. 
3
Graduate Job-ready
You won't just leave with a stronger portfolio. You'll leave with someone in your corner. A mentor who knows your work, believes in your potential, and has the industry connections to help open doors.
Class Example

Not a Lecture. A Studio Review.

You bring the work. Your mentor opens your files, shows you exactly what they'd change and why, then sets your direction for the week ahead. It's not a lesson. It's a studio review and it happens every single week. 

BUILT FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU

"I have never experienced such an explosive evolution in my art since attending CG Spectrum.

I have learnt an incredible amount, not only from my amazing mentor Eric Wilkerson but from the entire CGS community. Being part of such an amazing program has opened my eyes to techniques that have streamlined my process and increased my confidence tenfold. I highly recommend the Advanced Illustration Course. Buckle up, and knuckle down – this could be the course that changes everything for you."

"I have nothing but great things to say of CG Spectrum!

I was a bit unsure when I signed up for the concept art course because I had no prior experience, but it changed my life. I had a great mentor, Brandon, who would always push me to do better and I learned valuable things in each class."

"I was approached by Skybound North, and after a couple of months freelancing, I was offered an in-house job on a new animation project.

I went to a game art school after I graduated, but it wasn’t really what I was looking for. At the same time, I had started CG Spectrum’s concept art course, which is where I met my mentor Brandon Reimchen. He was an amazing teacher!"

"I've never improved as an artist so quickly.

Great course! They teach you what you need to know and don't waste your time with stuff that just fills out a course. It was specific to what I needed to know. The classes are very personable and the mentors are industry professionals that never hesitate to put in the effort to help you out. I definitely would recommend this to people interested in getting into the industry."

"Thank you CG Spectrum for giving me exactly what I needed to get started in this competitive industry.

I started the Concept Art & Illustration Course to create a stunning portfolio to apply for an internship. Without CG Spectrum I would never have been able to create a portfolio on a level that got me an amazing internship in Beijing."

"Not just for people wanting to break into the industry, it's also for professionals already in it.

I am a concept artist at Paradox Interactive in Sweden, and I wanted to expand my illustration skills, so I decided to take the Digital Illustration Course. I am loving it!! If you're a professional and want to learn a new skill, I would say go ahead! Expand your set of skills!

"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."
