How good at drawing do I have to be for CGMA?

Do you require an application or portfolio review? Is there a fee?

We do not require either of these and there is no fee. However, we strongly encourage our future students to send us their portfolios- before signing up for courses -they are interested in receiving a recommendation for a given course/courses, or to see if their work meets the pre-requisites for a given course, please follow instructions below.

PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS

4-5 images relating to the subject matter you are interested in taking. IE: don't send anatomy images if you are wanting to get an opinion on a perspective or environment class.

Sending us a URL is the best way for us to view work!

You can also send JPEG, PDF, or ZIP files directly to us via email. Please limit separate image attachments to no more than ten.

Emailed image attachments should be no larger than 2048x2048 px.

Make sure to orient/rotate the images to present them in their best light.

State in your message a goal you have in mind with your training. Do you have a direction? A certain job you're trying to gear your portfolio to? Just wanting to improve in general? TELL US :) It helps us help you.

All portfolio links, sample images or PDF files can be sent to: 2d.portfolio@cgmasteracademy.com or 2d.registration@cgmasteracademy.com

Failure to follow our requirements may result in your portfolio review being delayed. Please adhere to these simple requests for a smooth review.

We want to be able to help students make more informed decisions on courses, so this is why we offer portfolio reviews. The reviews are not feedback on your work in general, they are reviews to see if your skills meet pre-requisites for our courses. Reviews will also tell you what courses you can take to improve, and what programs may best suit you.

Look at the gallery pages, the work seems quite advanced, beyond the capability of someone who has only been drawing for weeks.
