Come spend six days this January in intense study and camaraderie with established industry professionals Ryan Pancoast, Lucas Graciano and E. M. Gist. Immerse yourself in the world of illustration, and learn to make the images in your mind into a reality.

Each day of this six day workshop will run from 8am until 11pm (or later) and will include..
Daily lectures on storytelling, professionalism, career building, etc.
Daily demonstrations of painting from the model, idealization, creature design, etc.
1 on 1 instruction and assistance on your illustration from one of our award winning instructors.
Portfolio reviews

When not working on your own illustration pull up a chair and watch one of the teachers work, and pick their brain with a round of “ask me anything”.

Further information on logistics, materials, and assignments will be released in the coming months. Reserve your spot now, as they are limited to JUST TWENTY, and are likely to go fast.
