Digital Art & Illustration Courses

pixelmuseca.lol was launched in 2021 by professional illustrators, animators, and UX/UI designers based in Montreal. We identified a gap in high‑quality, accessible digital art education—so we built a platform offering live workshops, self‑paced modules, and one‑on‑one mentorship. Our curriculum covers Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, and Blender, with a focus on practical projects such as character design, concept art, comic illustration, and digital painting.
Our instructors are published artists and studio veterans whose work appears in video games, animated series, and graphic novels. Through small class sizes and personalized feedback, we maintain an instructor‑to‑student ratio of 1:10, ensuring each learner receives actionable critique. Exclusive community forums, monthly art challenges, and portfolio reviews foster peer support and continuous improvement. All content is accessible on desktop and mobile, allowing you to learn anywhere, anytime.
