EDIT !!!!! Tutors and students, remember the tutoring program is taking place in a new group now !! So if you're still interested in it joins us here !!!! [link]


All new members interested in joining the tutoring program need to link four of their artworks and a decription of what their artistic interests are as well as what they want to improve in if they are students. links to the questionnaire and rules as well as other useful journals are here Big changes:iconcherishtree: and I have discussed the confusion of the group especially the questionnaire (http://futuredisneyartists.deviantart.com/journal/Questionnaire-220625395)
We have changed the welcome a little and these pages.




And will be changing:

and maybe:

I also plan to clean out the gallery for space.
Please feel free to ask questions and suggest changes.  

Any old members that can no longer participate please notify the admins.

Below is a list of the students and tutors of this group along with examples of there work. Please contact each other for details of tutoring. Tutors can ask students or students ask tutors if they are interested in teaming up. I'd say students asking would be better as they know what they want to learn. Once both parties agree they can start the mentoring process. This list is just so you know who is in the program so you know who to ask. Please also notify us so we can record that you have a partner.


Also for those luck enough to live near Disney studios here [link] is their Talent Development and Summer Internship Programs.
Disney's Hollywood Studios also has Animation Academy with free classes in drawing characters, pencil and paper included.

On a side note I am also a tutor and my tutoring style can be seen at the end of this journal (if you click the thumbnails, cos they're tiny).

Students



   














 













 

As a student, I would like to gain more styles to work with, mainly the KH style interests me more if thats possible. Mainly working with the body, I would like to improve on that as well :]
















Feel free to look over any material available on DA, and judge anything that you care to, preferably more recent work. My own focus is upon storyboarding, character design, and concept art, and hopefully (with training and resources) character animation one day.

Tutors






 

 










 
My style is chiefly cartooning. Disney is my main focus right now, so if you're into that, you've come to the right person! I can tutor if anyone feels like they could learn something from me. I can offer Livestream sessions if they like.

Also for those interested in the tutoring program, don't forget it takes place here

Please members read this post !!

As you know, the aim of this group was to create an academy of people wanting to acquire a Disney Style, and to form future Disney artists. However, we have seen that only a few members are interested in  the tutoring program. Indeed, we have nearly 600 members but only 30 of them are part of the tutoring program.
Most of the members just consider as another Disney group, but it's not. Some of them don't even respect the rules of the group, they submit their art to wrong folders, they promote their art and submit it in the "Tutors best work" folder when they don't even pay attention to the program.

That's why ~Invidia-S and I have decided to open a new group EXCLUSIVELY dedicated to the tutoring program. The group is . There will be tutors and students, basically the same system we try to apply here, but this time the program will be more active, we will promote the work of our members, and we will make a follow-up of our members. So if you're interested in progressing and following the tutoring program join us !

Please join the group only if you're interested in the tutoring program !!!

*Edit 24/04/13*
Hey guys ~Invidia-S here,
Please be aware that while the tutoring program is heading over to the art tutoring program group we will still be managing this group as a gallery. I will also post works from the tutoring program on this group in featured journals so they will be linked that way. All the admins for the tutoring program are admins here and the group was designed as a part of this group.

We don't send the questionnaire to you guys or find your tutor for you. You have to do that yourselves using the tutors list.
here is the questionnaire [link]  
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
