Animation Portfolio Workshop Testimonials

APW was a major catalyst in forming my passion and skills as a young artist. It helped me to build a strong foundation that went far beyond getting into the college of my choosing and sustains my work ethic today as a professional concept artist in the entertainment industry.

APW student portfolios showcase skills that are crucial to succeeding in the industry – high quality figure drawing and a clear understanding of proportion, volume, and gesture. They give their students a solid drawing foundation perfect for building a successful creative career.

You've done an excellent job helping to educate students with learning how to draw and become prepared for their future lives as animation students and professional animators. I've seen this demonstrated in the APW grads who have been my first year Figure Drawing students at Sheridan College Animation. Best wishes for continued success for many years to come.

Toronto houses some of the busiest animation studios and post-production companies in the nation. For 20 years APW has been one of the best ways of entering this world. They've consistently supported students with the most essential skills as well as developing mentoring & teaching abilities in their own students. APW instils real positivity and a proud, open outlook that always shines as their students enter College/University programs and on to the competitive creative workplace. Congratulations to APW on 20 years of bringing the best out in their grads! Here's to 20 more!

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but now with the new semester at Seneca I’m compelled to finally say it: Animation Portfolio Workshop is really making a difference in the quality of students that come into my first semester Life Drawing classes.

Although I am speaking solely for myself and not on behalf of Seneca College, after over 25 years of teaching I have seen all levels of students entering the life drawing classes. Simply said, there is a difference. Solid understanding of drawing fundamentals is immediately apparent in their work. Whatever they are doing, I personally endorse the work they do to prepare students for the creative challenges of animation programs regardless of school. 

Animation study, as rewarding as it is, is very challenging, demanding and often exhausting. Any preparation, especially of the quality of APW is well worth seriously looking into.

Well done guys! Keep them coming!
