It could take years to get good at drawing. It doesn’t have to.
I spent 10 years studying, documenting, and mastering drawing so you don’t have to. Character Art School Academy is the shortcut I wish I had—a proven roadmap to take you from fundamentals to professional mastery in a fraction of the time.
Whether you’re a beginner or leveling up, let’s skip the decade of struggle and start drawing amazing characters today.

Nice to meet you! I’m Scott, a professional character artist, illustrator, painter and concept artist. Apart from serving as founder and Art Director at DAS: School of Art and Design, and Character Art School, I’m a regular guy that learned to draw and paint from scratch, the hard way. I had no natural talent, and I learned over time that you don’t need any – anyone can learn to draw!
I’ve worked with Sony, Epic, PlayStation, Oxford Press and many more.
When you learn with me, you get straight-forward and no-fluff teaching, ensuring you learn quickly and efficiently. Personally, I’m inspired by sci-fi and fantasy art, video games and cinema, as well as having a deep love for Japanese culture and Manga style art. That said, I’ll teach you to draw in any style – realistic, american comic, manga – all the foundations are here for you to build into any character art you’d like.

What Are People Saying?
“As difficult as I find drawing to be I definitely have come a long way. From barely drawing heads and faces to fully illustrating characters from my imagination.“
★★★★★
Nicholas Ricardo Perez
“Phenomenal course! I went from 0 art or drawing experience drawing stick figures to being able to draw cool 3-dimensional cartoon art from only this course! I did not even learn from other sources. This course has the quality of a college level course. I could see myself learning this in a college I paid 1000 dollars for.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this course help me if I have no talent?
This course is designed for everyone, from first-time artists to people with basic or even intermediate skills. I teach you from the ground up, and we’ll cover everything you need to be great. Talent is just a head start anyways, it’s not needed (I started without any!).
How long do I have access to the course? How do I view the course?
You’ll always have access! What’s more, as new content get’s added and the course is expanded, you’ll get totally free updates! (And believe me many have already been added). The course is hosted here on characterartschool.com, which means you can stream it, or learn on the go whether you’re using your PC, smartphone or tablet.
How does course enrollment work? What do I need?
You can enroll at anytime, and move through the modules and assignments at your own pace, though I do advise taking a module per week if at all possible
Do I need a tablet and a PC, or is paper and pencil ok?
Though the course is taught primarily using digital tools for ease of recording, traditional pencil and paper are totally fine too! (I love drawing on paper!) Realist art theory isn’t medium dependent, thankfully, so you can use whatever medium you like.
The time for your Art is now.
Learn to draw to a professional level rapidly, confidently, and with a clear learning path that you can actually finish.
