What Students Are Saying
“A practical and engaging course with something for everyone. As someone who works in higher education, I appreciated the time that Bryce took to tailor his feedback to each student’s level (some of us were true beginners and others had pre-existing experience with illustration or motion graphics). He also put a lot of time into creating supplemental demo videos and feedback videos in response to students’ queries in the discussion boards, which is commendable given the asynchronous nature of the course. I learned a ton. Thank you and hats off to the whole Continuing Studies team!” – Student from Introduction to Toon Boom Harmony, Winter 2026
