While in college, take courses that will lead to a degree such as a Bachelor's of Fine Arts (BFA). You should be comfortable with observational and life drawing. We look for an art background that is grounded in traditional mediums: drawing, painting, sculpting, etc. Our art track focuses on traditional and digital work.
