STUDENT SHOWCASE
What our students say about their experience in the program.
Jake Pleshe
Hardy breaks down the elements of good design and distills them into effective and fun assignments. The course video content is stellar, and it's value is only surpassed by Hardy himself. This is a true mentorship! Hardy makes himself incredibly available for individual questions, paintovers and discussion.
Jackson Drew
The classwork and module projects were not only educational but fun to work on. I feel like Iâve improved in my own journey with where I want my style to be, as there was room to express art how I wanted to but to utilize the fundamentals as much as possible to jumpstart my focus on career-ready work.
Joe Zavaletta
I speak for myself when I say Hardy's mentoring through Concept Art Academy might have quite literally changed the trajectory of my life. His guidance was pivotal in exposing and targeting my weaknesses. Even though I paid him for it, I still feel indebted to him for his wisdom and guidance.
