Who is this for?

This bootcamp is for you if:

  • You’re looking for a casual or purely inspirational course

  • You don’t have time for weekly practice

  • You expect 1:1 private coaching (this is a group program)

  • You’re only interested in finished renderings, not sketching fundamentals

  • You want instant results without consistent effort

This bootcamp is not for you if:

  • You want to build confident automotive sketches, not just watch tutorials

  • You’re willing to practice and submit work weekly

  • You want structure, feedback, and accountability

  • You’re preparing for design school, portfolio development, or professional growth

  • You’re comfortable learning in a small, focused cohort

This bootcamp rewards consistency and effort more than raw drawing ability.

How the bootcamp works:

Build confident automotive sketches you can construct, refine and explain
through a guided 8-week studio practice.

Each week follows the same structure:

​

1) Focused Lesson
Short tutorials introduce the week’s sketching focus and key principles.

​

2) Guided Assignment
You complete a structured sketching assignment designed to reinforce the lesson.

 

3) Submission
You submit your work into the live weekly Zoom calls to be chosen at random for review. 

 

4) Live Session
We review selected submissions live, demonstrate sketching techniques, and discuss common challenges.

 

5) Refinement
You revise based on feedback and apply insights to the next week’s work.

How feedback works:

Live sketch-overs are selected from submitted work each week, with the goal of giving every participant live feedback at least once during the bootcamp. All students benefit from group critique, demonstrations, and shared discussion.

Syllabus

Sketch cars with confidence. 

Watch streaming tutorials, complete assignments and attend group calls with live feedback. This simulates a real design school class and gives you the sketching time and feedback necessary to grow and develop. 

Each week builds on the last, focusing on repeatable fundamentals rather than one-off drawings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level is this bootcamp for? This bootcamp is designed for beginners to early-intermediate sketchers who want to build strong fundamentals and confidence. You don’t need to be “good” at sketching yet, but you do need to be willing to practice consistently.

What if I can’t attend a live session? Live sessions will be recorded and shared afterward. While attending live is encouraged, you can still follow along and apply the feedback even if you can’t join every session.

Will I receive personal feedback on my work? Each live session includes sketch-overs and group critique selected from submitted work. The goal is for every participant to receive live feedback at least once during the bootcamp, and everyone benefits from shared review and demonstrations.

What tools do I need? All you need is paper, prisma color pencils and a pencil sharpener. The focus is on sketching fundamentals, not specific tools.

​Before Lumen, I did not know how to properly use Blender for anything more than placing objects as reference for sketches. I highly recommend it! I learned quickly and had fun too! I still use the skills i learned and i think this course it's a great starting point!
