Why:
Because learning how to drawing 3-D builds important creative thinking skills, powerful problem solving skills, and a solid foundation for future art success (careers in children's book illustration, digital 3-D game design, digital 2-D and 3-D animation). Many of Mark's alumni students are successful digital game designers and animators with resume projects incuding Shrek, Madagascar, Bugs' Life, Toy Story, Marvel Comics, Leapfrog Toys, etc.
