New On Demand / Self Paced Courses Coming Soon!
Published on 13/11/2023
Character Study Intensive and Graphic Novel Bootcamp
ITSme Learning is excited to announce our new on demand, self paced Character Study Intensive and Graphic Novel Bootcamp courses!
We have been asked for an in depth look into these areas, and we are here to provide that education.
In addition to our free resources and mentorship programs, we have been hard at work developing these on demand courses. We know people lead busy lives, and might not have time for a full mentorship, so we wanted to create something they could do in their own time, and with specific focuses of study.
Both the Character Study Intensive and Graphic Novel Bootcamp courses were designed directly with top Advocate Art and Astound US Inc. agents, Advocate Art Agent Erin Tisdel, Astound US Inc Agent Aurora Meyer, as well as our own creative director, Bhavi Patel (also an Advocate Art Agent), and marketing director, and former Astound US Inc Agent, Emily Coggins.
A lot of love, care and time has gone into these courses. But more importantly, so did all of our inter agency expertise.
In our graphic novel course, we even have special texts written by our literary agent and editor friends at Caroline Wakeman Literary Agency, so you have even more specialty content to illustrate!
These courses include:
- Numerous assignments / briefs
- Video Lessons
- Moodboards
- Activities and More
Our course briefs are perfectly paired with the videos, and designed by the agents based on real art director needs and expectations.
Illustrators will gain access to these videos and briefs for 1 year after enrollment.
We are thrilled to be launching these courses very soon. Join the waitlist to be the first to hear when they launch. Email us at learning@itsmegroup.com to join the waitlist.
Anyone who joins the waitlist will receive a special discount code at course launch!
