Hi @Lee-White I'm in the UK, do you know what time the live classers will be held?

MOO

Well, I'm probably not to this level yet. Are all these new interactive classes only for digital artists? Thanks.

Lee White

@julian-beresford There is no "live" time when the classes will be held. That's what is so cool about them. It works like this: The instructors upload/release the material each week at the same time, but you can watch it whenever you want. We have people from all over the world enrolling because time zones don't really matter.

Then, you have one week from then to upload your homework and we will do a video critique of it which you can also watch at any time. So far it has been amazing and flexible for our students.

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen these classes are fine for digital or traditional. They are mainly about what you are drawing, not technique. Of course that varies a bit. Will's texture class should probably be done in photoshop or digitally. But it doesn't have to be.

Let me know if you guys have any other questions.

I also hope it will be offered again in the future it looks fantastic, I'd be interested in doing the class once i get my skill level up a bit (a lot) more!

Lee White

@elaine-b Can't wait to see you in there!

Hi Lee,
This class looks fabulous and I plan to sign up. I also posed this question to Will as I was contemplating his class or this one, when I took the Illustrating Children's Books class several years ago he was able to create a "certificate of participation" at the completion of the class, indicating the hours so that I could use them towards my high school art recertification credentials. Can that be done for this one as well?

Thanks!
Christine Dion

Lee White

@mrsdion yes, this one has the certification set up in it.

Lee White

only 4 seats left. This will probably be sold out by Saturday or so.

@lee-white Hey Lee - I am wondering if we take the class if we will have permanent access to the lecture and feedback videos - i’m Just starting to think about the cover for my Wizard of Oz book and it seems too good to be true that you are doing this class!

Lee White

@kevin-longueil you will be able to download the crits. You will only have access to the course material while you are in there. So we encourage note taking, etc. to get the most out of it.

Note, we will be assigning covers in this class with particular stories in mind. One is a classic fairy tale, so yours would probably still fit for that one.

@Lee-White Thanks that's great., hoping to sign up for this class next week, It's tax month this month in the UK. so dealing with that this week.

Lee White

@julian-beresford I don't want to scare you, but we have 3 seats left now and will probably fill by saturday at the rate we are going.

@lee-white the book cover class looks amazing, but for my first interactive class I think I should do one of the creativity courses to help me figure out my style. But I don't know which to choose! The Ideation Lab and Turborcharging Your Creativity seem like they will cover similar ground. Both look great! Do you have any thoughts on either class that can help me decide?

Christine Dion

@lee-white Thanks!

Christine Dion

If you could post the due dates as soon as you know them, that would be great! With my current studio work I'd like to be able to schedule my client work around my homework for this class. Thanks again and looking forward to building up this part of my illustration portfolio!
