Comic & Concept Art - BA (Hons)

University for the Creative Arts

Worldbuilding, character creation, and storytelling – all rolled into one.The best comic and concept artists share something rare: the ability to create worlds. They have a unique way of seeing, creating, and telling stories – through character and environment concept art, or the panels and pages or a comic. This is a course designed to help you find that voice, develop it, and carry it confidently into an industry that cherishes originality and difference.Here, you’ll build serious technical and creative skills across 2D and 3D – from life drawing and digital painting to character design, environment art, and sequential storytelling. From first year, you'll be encouraged to bring your own ideas, your own characters, and your own worlds to the table. From second year, you’ll collaborate with gaming students to bring your creations to life inside real playable productions.By graduation, you'll have a clear creative identity, a portfolio built around your specialism, and the professional skills to take it wherever you want – studios, conventions, indie publishing, games pre-production, or a freelance practice of your own.
