About the program

Why kids love it

Every child is an artist — this program hands them a digital studio. Kids learn brushes, layers, light and shadow, then design heroes and sidekicks and tell stories in comic strips. No drawing talent or expensive software needed: we teach from simple shapes, step by step, with free creative tools.

  1. 1

    Digital canvas

    Brushes, colors and layers turn simple shapes into animals, scenes and pet portraits.

  2. 2

    Characters & comics

    Expressions, poses and four-panel comics starring heroes kids design themselves.

  3. 3

    Art that moves

    Drawings come to life as cartoons — and, for ages 12–14, as 3D scenes in Blender.

Talk to us

Absolutely. We teach drawing from simple shapes, step by step, and digital tools make it easy to undo and try again. Creativity matters far more than talent.

No. A mouse works for every level and all our software is free. A drawing tablet, or an iPad with a stylus and a drawing app such as Procreate, is a nice extra but never required.

Yes. Every drawing, comic and animation your child makes is saved in their own digital portfolio, ready to share with family and friends — and the best pieces star in the Demo Day gallery show.

Small-group live classes have a maximum of 6 students, so every child gets individual attention.

Every class is recorded for your family, and we offer free make-up sessions so no one falls behind.
