Students will love

I've always wanted to take my drawing skills to the next level, so signing up for this digital illustration course was a no-brainer for me. And I'm so glad I did - my favorite part has been how I'm able to see my drawings come to life through digital art techniques. In just a few short weeks, I've learned that hard work really does pay off in this course. I never imagined it would go so in-depth, covering every single detail of the design process, but that comprehensive approach has been incredibly valuable. If you're looking to take your artistic talents to new heights and become a more accomplished digital illustrator, I would absolutely recommend this course to any of my friends. The knowledge and skills you gain are absolutely worth the effort. Rivky

Parents will apreciate

When I saw my daughter's incredible sketches, I knew she had raw talent that needed nurturing. This course was the perfect solution - affordable, flexible, and focused on developing professional skills. Unlike intimidating, expensive programs, this one let us start small, signing up for just the first module at a reasonable price. What truly impressed me was how smooth and engaging the learning experience was. The assignments challenged her, the professional feedback motivated her, and she navigated everything independently. No frustrating "I don't understand" moments - just clear, focused learning that built her confidence. For any parent with a creative teen, this course is something special. We're already looking forward to the next module. CP

frequently asked questions

As long as you’re very comfortable using a computer, you’re good. Beyond that, we’ll teach you the design programs from the ground up.

You’ll need Clip Studio Paint Pro for illustrators, as well as a drawing tablet. We will send you the links and details in your welcome email.

Yup! We have two packages so you can choose the one that works best for you.

Online Package: You’ll receive your course login information by email within 48 business hours of registering. Your student portal will contain:

Glad you asked. 🙂 Support is one of the hallmarks of The Bold Edge courses. We’re here for any questions you have, including 4 months of support and project feedback. (OK, that’s not really accurate. We actually answer our graduates’ questions way after they finish the course, too!)

Great question. In this course all the course content is suitable and tzanua. You will not see the instructors face on the screen. The video content and lesson assets do not have women within it.

If you’re salivating at the thought of learning advanced design software and creating epic projects, getting in touch with your creative side and finding an outlet you’ll love… you won’t think of this as learning. It will be your downtime after a long day at school; you’ll probably find the videos and assignments a fun escape. Can’t relate? This course might not be for you. Find something you love!

As someone who has always loved to draw,I was dreaming of taking my passion to the next level. This course caught my eye as the perfect way to develop professional skills while staying true to myself. The best part? The homework! I get to spend hours drawing - and for once, no one can tell me I'm procrastinating because it's actually my assignment. The course is refreshingly clear and practical, fitting perfectly into my already packed schedule between school and other activities. What I love most is that I can do everything offline, which aligns with my personal values. Since taking this course, I've turned my creativity into a real opportunity - I now create a monthly comic series with five drawings per edition that I get paid for! I would absolutely recommend this course to any friend who loves art and wants to start their professional journey - it's the perfect stepping stone for teens who want to turn their creative passion into something more.
