Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by the MTM College booth at YetiCon this weekend 💛 A special thanks to those who left drawings in our sketchbook! 🥰

It was so lovely getting to speak with so many artists, students, parents, alumni. To meet people who recognized us, and find people who were hearing about us for the first time and joining our community now.

I hope everyone enjoys their free posters!!

All of the kind words and positive feedback about our booth, our programs, and everything we stand for as a college were so deeply appreciated. It really means the world to us.

This is why we do what we do: We want to bring the highest quality art education possible to artists who are serious about growing, and we are always working to make that education as accessible as possible thanks to our incredible teachers, staff, students, alumni, and wider creative community.

🤯 Just a few examples of the incredible artwork created by MTM instructor Scott Cameron.

A published illustrator, Governor General's Award nominee, and artist whose clients include Disney, Scott has spent decades studying what makes an image truly memorable. Not just beautiful: clear, impactful, and impossible to ignore.

If you've ever looked at your artwork and felt like "something is off," even when the rendering is good, Scott's upcoming Illustration 101 workshop is designed to help you understand why.

Learn how professional artists use composition, value, contrast, focal points, and visual hierarchy to guide the viewer's eye and create stronger, more compelling images.

🎥 Scott's free Design & Composition Masterclass is now live on our YouTube channel!

🤯 Ever wanted to hold one of your characters in your hands?

Here are just a few examples of the incredible sculpture work created by MTM instructor Steve Millard. With decades of experience in animation, drawing, and sculpture, Steve has a deep understanding of form, structure, and character design.

This summer, he's sharing that knowledge in a hands-on Character Sculpture Workshop.

Learn how to build your own character sculpture from the ground up using professional techniques, armatures, and oven-bake clay. You'll leave with a finished piece you can proudly display or add to your portfolio.
