Illustration

Kelsey Dahl

Your experience in the CCS Illustration department integrates the fundamentals of visual storytelling, figure drawing, color, composition and perspective with industry-relevant coursework.

Our Illustration elective course options form pathways in Visual Development, Publishing, Fashion Lifestyle and Licensing, Comics and Sequential, or Gallery Artist. Through these pathways, you will develop a portfolio specific to your career goals and creative interests.

Our pathways will help you create a focused portfolio for freelance or studio-based careers in Illustration, and that, combined with our business-centric courses and optional Creative Entrepreneurship concentration, will prepare you for work in a studio or opening your own.
