100% hands-on

You start creating on day 1. Each class opens with a short introduction to the topic, then you apply what you've learned in guided exercises that take your skills to the next level.

It's 8 two-hour classes, twice a week over 4 weeks (16 hours in total). The Saturday track covers the same syllabus across 8 weeks.

By the end of the course, every student walks away with their own project: a line-up of 3 characters, a playable level published on itch.io, or a 3D character with a turnaround, ready for their portfolio.

The courses are taught by artists and developers currently working in production at DOB Studios.

Live classes

8 live online sessions of 2 hours, with room for questions, guided practice, and progress reviews.

Direct feedback

Every class includes project follow-up. The last session is a showcase with individual feedback.

Three tracks

Choose Monday and Wednesday, Tuesday and Thursday, or Saturday. Weekday tracks run 4 weeks; the Saturday track runs 8.

Limited seats

Small groups so the instructor can review every student's work throughout the course.
