Illustration
Traditional drawing and painting combined with state-of-the-art digital technology. As an Illustration student at Moore, you’ll have countless means, encouragement and opportunities to develop your personal style and the skills necessary to launch a rewarding career.
“My skills have become way more refined. The introduction of deadlines and teachers being our ‘clients’ pushed my time management skills and effort to another level. Illustration is all about mileage and practice, and I think Moore allowed me the time and space to take what was a passion and turn it into a serious profession.”
