Some tips
Before you begin to learn the skills of classical 2D animation professionally, we recommend performing simple exercises that will help you determine whether this activity is right for you. Introducing a practice of daily sketches can significantly improve your animated drawing skills.
An important exercise at the beginning of your training is creating an animated take—a quick reaction of a character to something or someone. By doing this exercise, you can enhance your skills in drawing a character in motion, learn to maintain its volume, and work on some fundamental principles of animation.

questions
about the course
At what age is it possible to take school courses?
We accept students from the age of 16, since the course program is intensive and it will be difficult for a child to keep up and understand.
BUT, on an individual basis, we can accept students from 14 years of age on the course. At the same time, we consider the student’s work and potential.
Will the video lectures remain with us after graduation?
You continue to have access to the materials on the learning platform. We do not take away access to paid materials)
Important: the chat group in Discord will be deleted 2-3 months after the completion of the course, so if you need something from the group, we recommend that you save it immediately.
Where will the training materials be?
The study room is located on the learning platform, there will be lessons with course materials and there you will have to submit your homework for review by your mentor. Links to the webinars (and their recordings) will be published in the course chat group. You will receive detailed instructions on the training process a couple of days before the start of training.
I didn’t receive an email from the school, what should I do?
It happens that letters end up in the “spam” or “promotion” sections, so we recommend checking these folders too, and also making sure that the mailing address was entered correctly. If you still cannot find the letter, write to us in the chat on the website, instant messengers or any of the social networks and we will help resolve the issue.
