Hey everyone! I took the “2D Artist” course - it was awesome! It taught me how to work with shapes and clean rendering, which I now use in my own projects. The instructor guided me through every step and helped me achieve great results. I’m super happy with the outcome and thankful for such a wonderful learning experience. Totally recommend it!

Hi there! I really enjoyed the “2D Artist” course. The lessons were engaging, and the workflow was structured and clear. Thanks to my mentor Lina and the Redby Art team for helping me grow as an artist - and for keeping the learning fun and inspiring!

Before joining the course, I was already familiar with art, but I had never worked in a casual game style. This course really helped me understand the logic behind stylized shapes and colors. The mentors were incredibly attentive, and I learned a ton about polishing my work. Thank you for such a motivating and creative experience!

Frequently Asked Questions
Week 1 — around 3 hours
Week 2 — also about 3 hours
Week 2 — also about 3 hours
In the beginning, 4 hours a week is enough. For the final project (the duck!), it’s better to set aside at least 2 hours a day — about 12 hours per week on average.
Yes, you can! But keep in mind — Procreate doesn’t have a vector pen tool, so you’ll need to be more precise with your brushwork. In Photoshop with a graphics tablet, the workflow is faster and more convenient.
No! This course is perfect for beginners. Everything is explained step by step, and your mentor will always help if something’s unclear.
You’ll need Adobe Photoshop or Procreate, a graphics tablet (even the simplest one will do), and of course — your hands 🙂
Don’t worry — you’ll get 2 extra weeks of mentor support!
Yes! After finishing the course, you’ll receive a Redby Art Certificate <3
