If you want to do it properly, you can count between 4h30 and 6 hours of work per week for the homework

For the video course, there is an average of 1h30 of videos to watch per week, these are delivered on Saturdays so you can watch them during the week-end

This leads us to around 6 to 8 hours of work total per week for the work

The group sessions assume around 30 mins per student. So on average these should last 3 to 4 hours

No worries, if you have to leave, these are recorded and available as replays almost immediately after they are done

Yes ! And available as replays almost immediately after they are done !

If you watched the Free Course, you can confidently apply when you reach Commission Hell / Semi-Pro level or above.

If you are unsure about your level, feel free to apply anyways, if you show the right mindset, there is no problem to allow you into the mentorship.

However, if you are under that level, be aware that you will have to do extra work or work for a longer period of time after the 5 weeks in order to reach pro level.

We got people attending the mentorship while they were about to start a year in Art School and it still benefited them tremendously !

All that matters is the right mindset

All the communication and Group Sessions will happen on Discord

The Video Course and sessions replays will be available on Systeme.io

English

A microphone, an internet connection, and if you want a webcam

For the work, just your usual gear and softwares

We understand that unexpected events occur

If you happen to miss a session, don't worry, you can watch the replay and we will make time during the next session for you to catch up

In the event of multiple absences, we will work together to devise a suitable catch-up plan, provided this benefit is not exploited

It depends on how much time you have available every week for your portfolio.

Some former mentees able to work full time on their portfolio managed to make it in 3 months

Some other mentees, working a full-time job, took 6 months to craft their portfolios

In any case, for as long as you do the work, I keep working with you until you get a job

This mentorship is a portfolio-building one and focused on the professional part of the job, not just the technical part of art

However, this mentorship is meant to get you to level-up A LOT

You have seen some Before/After on that page already, you can see way more here

In Week 1 and 2 we discuss in depth about the art techniques and tools you need to develop

During Week 4 and 5 you will also do a "test piece" and receive feedback and paintovers on it. It is a crucial step in preparing for your full portfolio

And for every piece of your portfolio, you will be pushed to the maximum of your abilities and beyond

Absolutely !

The mentorship is style and job-agnostic.

I got to Art Direct and Oversee students across various styles and topic, and the skills you need regardless of your job are grounded in Art and Design Fundamentals, which can be applied universally.

Regarding the mentorship, all you have to do is transpose the principles around the "Portfolio" to your Demoreel / Showreel, but 100% of the principles explained in the mentorship are applicable to any artistic job in the industry !

Absolutely !

As I said, I Art Directed and Oversaw several projects and classes that were stylized, the principles are the same !

This happens quite frequently as our dream jobs are often very high-end companies hiring only seniors.

While there might always be some exceptions to that rule, it is crucial to accept that as part of our artistic journey, it is part of the process to find some companies hiring juniors, start there and keep working on our professional journey by applying the same framework explained in the mentorship.

Exactly as you did for that first job, you apply the framework again for the next job, then the next one, then eventually your dream job.

Again, it is all about perseverance and doing the work to become the perfect candidate for that company, and this is exactly what this course is about.

In this case, the course/mentorship is perfect for you because you will need to strongly target a company that wants you enough to either relocate you or let you work remotely.

Also, after the world changed massively with Covid, the industry realized that it can still function very well with remote work, and this allowed a lot more companies to hire people regardless of their location. Also it sparked the creation of a lot of remote outsourcing studios.

These are massive advantages for us.

Totally !

And actually around half of our past mentees were already working their first or second job in small studios.

It's very likely that you have accomplished part of what is mentioned in the mentorship without ever deeply thinking about it and understanding how it works universally, or else the studio you are part of was more flexible on their requirements than the AAA industry.

The mentorship is there to get you out of your comfort zone and allow you to move forward by understanding how to aim for the next step in your career, whether you're just starting in art or already have a few years of experience behind you.

Additionally, the mentorship will likely help you increase your rates.

Because I've been successfully applying this formula with students for over 6 years.

Because I went from art school dropout to AAA Concept Artist to Art Director using this exact process, all of that while actually not being a massively popular artist in the industry or with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram.

Because I have more than enough results from my former mentees to prove my method works and I share these results all the time in total transparency. These speak louder than any word or marketing tactics.

Because you can confidently let you ask any current/former mentee on The Art Nest Discord about the mentorship if you want and I know the mentorship will be heavily recommended.

And because very little to no other mentorship online is solely focused on that other 50% of the artist's job and providing that much content about it.

Still don't trust me? Have a look at the Free Course to let what I do speak for me.
