This course is a part of our 3D Animators / Artist course

This course is not only an entry level course for the new user, but is also relevant to existing users wanting to upgrade or enhance their existing 3d skills.

The course is comprised of a series of regular hands on life drawing classes used as a means for the 3d digital artist or animator to gain a basic comprehension for the depiction of form and movement of the human body and animal form.

Organised into a series of hands on lab assignments, the course ensures that the student will receive 24 hours of well paced, intensive professional training.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a greater level of understanding and appreciation of anatomy and its relevance to 3d disciplines.

You will benefit from the experience of professional Artists and Life Drawing Instructors as well as educators, consultants and Discreet Training Specialists who have helped to put this course together.
