"I am most interested in this workshop, but am unsure of my skill level or

any prerequisites. 

Thank you for your interest in the Illustration Master Class. 

 Regardless of your abilities, exposing yourself to new and professional ways to problem solving

and image making will help you objectively assess your own methods and provide

positive development in understanding what you wish to say in your own art.

 It is not necessarily about your current level or ability in art, 

but about where you want to go with it and what you want to

learn.  

This workshop represents a wonderful cross section of the best

professional talent in the science fiction and fantasy genre.  

If you are serious about pursuing a profession in illustration, an intensive class like this is a rare opportunity to perceive fresh and varying views on art, discuss current trends in the illustration field, and receive one-on-one

time from some of the industry’s masters.  

If art is currently more of a hobby for you, then this class would still be a great experience to learn

and grow no matter your level, but again it is entirely a personal choice.
