Learn Digital Illustrations
and Animations with James Gilleard
Hello! I'm James
I'm the illustrator and concept artist behind this course.
After years of working with incredible clients like Netflix, Disney, Dreamworks, and Blue Sky Studios, I've taken everything I've learned on high-level production projects from concept art for animated features to character design and visual development and distilled it into a clear, comprehensive curriculum.
My personal style is all about creating beautiful, atmospheric worlds using geometric digital art, blending the bold nostalgia of mid-century design with futuristic concepts. I use a distinct approach that starts with simple shapes and powerful textures to craft memorable illustrations and environments.
