ABOUT THE ONLINE ACADEMY
for Animation and Comics
OUR PHILOSPHY
Pencil Castle Academy is an Online Drawing Coaching School – NOT a Private University- that focuses on teaching its students the drawing foundation for Animation and Comics.
The main philosophy and teaching style of the academy differs from the seminar or workshop-style courses that exist online. Each course in Pencil Castle is an in-depth intense live learning experience -not just an introduction or a pre-recorded lesson- on a specific drawing subject.
HOW THE ONLINE COURSES WORK
Students study their subject of choice in small groups, following the theory and the
example drawn by the teacher live in class, in order to learn the main concepts of
the subject by doing. While students create drawings in class the teacher acts as a
mentor, giving advice live while they draw. The teaching philosophy resembles more
the way old craftsmen used to teach and transfer their knowledge on their craft to
their students. At a later stage, students can choose to take their work one step
further and create their own original portfolio of work on their specific subject of
choice, within a safe environment of mentorship.
HOW THE ONLINE COURSES WORK
Our students learn in practice all the fundamental design principles and tools that
professional artists use to create designs and characters coming to life in a fictional
story.
