This mentorship has one primary objective:   To help you learn how to break down what you are observing and use that information effectively.  Throughout the program, you will learn how to deliver a clear visual understanding of the functionality and breakdown of designs in concept art.   Your mentor, Jonathan Kuo, will take you through the step by step process to develop the optical clarity of anatomy in design that allows your creativity to speak for itself.  Every aspect of your skills will grow from your comprehension of tasks, preparation, research, clean sketch communication, painting, and rendering.  At the end of the program, students can expect to deliver concept art that clearly defines the design intent.

This is perfect for beginner and intermediate level artists.
