DIGITAL ART FOUNDATION
From Your First Sketch to Your First Finished Digital Artwork
A structured 4-week foundation program for anyone who wants to learn digital art correctly — not just learn software.
LAUNCH FEE
₹999
Limited Foundation Batch
01 | WHY THIS COURSE?
Many beginners start digital art by learning random brushes, copying tutorials or watching hundreds of YouTube videos.
The problem is not lack of information.
The problem is lack of a structured learning path.
Digital Art Foundation by Ankona School of Art is designed around a simple progression:
UNDERSTAND → PRACTICE → CREATE → RECEIVE FEEDBACK → IMPROVE
You will learn the fundamentals of drawing and digital art through guided exercises and practical projects.
The objective is not to make you dependent on tutorials.
The objective is to help you understand how an artist thinks, observes, constructs and creates.
02 | WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This program is suitable for:
Complete beginners in digital art
Students interested in animation and game art
Traditional artists moving into digital art
School and college students
Hobby artists
Aspiring illustrators
Beginners who own a drawing tablet/iPad
Students who want to explore digital painting before investing in an advanced course
Anyone who feels, “I want to draw digitally, but I don't know where to start.”
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST.
You only need curiosity, consistency and a willingness to practice.
03 | WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE
By the end of the foundation program, you will understand:
DRAWING
How to control lines, shapes, proportions and construction.
FORM
How flat shapes become convincing 3D objects.
PERSPECTIVE
How to create believable depth and space.
LIGHT & SHADOW
How light creates volume and form.
COLOUR
How to select and combine colours with intention.
DIGITAL WORKFLOW

CHARACTER
How to construct a simple stylized character.
DIGITAL PAINTING
How to take a sketch toward a finished digital artwork.

16 | WHY ANKONA?
LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE.
Ankona School of Art is built around practical art education rather than simply software demonstrations.
The teaching philosophy combines:
Traditional Art Fundamentals
Digital Art
Animation
Concept Development
Creative Thinking
Industry-Oriented Practice
The foundation is deliberately designed so that students learn principles that remain useful even when software changes.
17 | THE ANKONA PROMISE
We don't promise that eight classes will magically make someone a professional artist.
Because real artistic growth takes:
Time + Practice + Feedback + Persistence.
What we promise is something more honest:
WE WILL GIVE YOU A CLEAR STARTING POINT.
You will know:
What to learn.
What to practice.
How to practice.
What mistakes to avoid.
What to create next.
And, if you choose to continue, where your artistic journey can go next.
18 | WHO SHOULD JOIN?
JOIN IF YOU SAY:
“I want to start digital art.”
“I want to learn drawing properly.”
“I want to create my own characters.”
“I want to learn digital painting.”
“I want to explore animation or game art.”
“I watch tutorials but don't know what to practice.”
“I want a structured teacher-led learning path.”
19 | WHO SHOULD NOT JOIN?
This program may not be the right fit if:
You already have advanced digital painting skills.
You are looking for professional portfolio mentorship immediately.
You don't want to practice between classes.
You expect instant professional-level results without practice.
For advanced learners, Ankona's higher-level programs are more appropriate.
