Environment Concept Art Course & Mentorship — English

General / 22 September 2026

Over the past few years, I’ve been mentoring environment artists and developing a structured program focused on the full environment concept art workflow — not just on creating a polished image.

My 30-hour Environment Concept Art course is now fully available in English, and I’m preparing the first English-speaking mentorship group.

There are three ways to study, depending on how much feedback and guidance you want.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What the course is about

The program follows the complete environment concept art process — from the first idea and visual research to a finished, portfolio-ready project.

We work with:

— visual research and reference gathering
— composition and thumbnail ideation
— value, lighting and spatial depth
— Blender for environment blockouts and scene building
— 3DCoat
— combining 2D and 3D in one workflow
— color and atmosphere
— texturing and detailing
— production-style briefs
— final environment projects
— preparing and presenting work for ArtStation and a professional portfolio

The main focus is production thinking.

I want students to understand not only how to make an image look better, but how to approach a brief, make visual decisions, solve problems and move through an environment project step by step.

Three ways to study

 Self-Paced Course — $500

Full access to the 35-hour recorded course in English.

You can go through the program independently and work at your own pace.

This option is for artists who want the complete structured program but don’t need regular feedback or mentorship.

→ INTEREST FORM

Group Mentorship — $750

The full course + a structured group program with regular feedback and guidance.

The group is intentionally small — approximately 5–7 artists.

The first English-speaking group will start once there are enough people interested to form it.

If you’re interested in this format, join the waitlist below. When the group is ready, I’ll contact everyone with the proposed start date and details before enrollment.

→ JOIN THE GROUP MENTORSHIP WAITLIST:

Joining the waitlist does not commit you to purchasing the course or mentorship.

1:1 Mentorship — $1000

For artists who want to work with me individually.

You receive access to the full course together with personal feedback, guidance and support throughout the program.

Unlike the group mentorship, 1:1 mentorship doesn’t depend on forming a group, so it can be arranged individually.

If you’re interested in 1:1 mentorship, you can also indicate it in the form:

Who is it for?

The program is intended for artists who already have basic digital art skills and want to develop a more structured approach to environment concept art.

It may be useful if you:

— struggle to move from references to your own idea
— want to understand composition rather than rely on intuition alone
— want to integrate Blender and 3D into your concept art workflow
— often get stuck between the initial sketch and final image
— want to understand how an environment project is approached in production
— want to build stronger environment pieces for your portfolio

This is not a “follow along and reproduce my artwork” course.

The goal is to give you a system you can apply to your own environments, briefs and projects.

The English course itself is complete and ready. I’m currently preparing the enrollment and payment system for the English version.

For now, if you’re interested in group mentorship, 1:1 mentorship, or the self-paced course, you can leave your details here:
