Portfolio Requirements

Portfolio Requirements

Year 1

We look for potential, curiosity, and a dedication to learning. However, we need to see that you are already creating and interested by the industry.

  • Sketchbooks & Studies: Show us your daily practice and observation skills.

  • Design by Imagination (Crucial): We need to see completed examples of Environments and Characters designed by you. We want to see how you think and apply your own design logic to a finished piece.

Year 2

We require an advanced fundamental level. You must demonstrate that you can build and structure designs without relying on complex tools.

  • The Standard: Ability to draw and design multiple Environments, Characters, and Props with solid structure.

  • No 3D Required: Do not worry if you don't have 3D work. We teach the 3D pipeline from scratch in Year 2. Focus on showing us your drawing and design fundamentals.

What is ConceptCore?

ConceptCore is a new way to learn concept art. We’re building the pillar of concept art education, bringing together the best artists in the world and the entire community. You’ll find something at every level and price point: free content, short online courses, deep-dive mentorships, and full academy programs.

Who is ConceptCore for?


ConceptCore is for ambitious concept artists at any stage from beginner to professional, as long as your goal is to work in the entertainment industry (games, VFX, film). If you’re tired of hobbyist tutorials and want training that treats you like a future pro, you’re our people. Our students typically aim to build a studio-ready portfolio and land roles in concept art, visual development, or illustration for production. Whether you’re self-taught and need structure, a student fresh out of school, or even a junior artist looking to level up, you’ll fit in as long as you’re serious about improving.
