Why Anime Art School?
You could spend years trying to figure out what all the basics of art are and where to learn them. Only to find out that you missed an important skill that you should have learned years ago! Then you'll be way behind and have to back-track to figure out what you missed, wasting tons of time in the process.
You could end up spending thousands of dollars buying mismatched tutorials, only to find one doesn't cover everything about a particular topic, and you have to go on the tutorial hunt again. Or worse, you learn the wrong stuff because one of the teachers taught something incorrectly.
But with Anime Art School, our team of professional artists have crafted a curriculum that puts everything in order for you, so all you have to do is go through the lessons and do the homework, and you'll see rapid art improvement.
Save Money!
Art schools can cost tens, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars and rarely offer courses with manga and anime drawing in mind.
This program, on the other hand, provides more content that is highly focused on exactly what you're looking for—at only a fraction of the cost. With our on-demand classes, you get the quality education you want without the wait, or the hefty price tag.
