Learn by Doing
The best way to learn is to immediately put it to use.
When I was a student I had difficulty learning from courses that only taught what functions each button performed. That’s boring! In DCS courses we will focus on creating, not just buttons. Here’s an example from the logo animation class in After Effects.
Build your portfolio
Each class will inspire you to use your imagination and create original artwork to build your own portfolio.
A modern job requires a modern education. No one cares where you went to school anymore, and most schools lack instructors with real-world experience. I am currently working in the digital art industry as an animator so I know what’s important and what isn’t for new and progressing students.
Achieve your goals
No matter how big or small, you must take action now!
Becoming a digital artist will not happen overnight, it takes time and patience. But you will never achieve your goals if you do not take some small action every day. Many people are not even sure what route it takes to accomplish their goals so let me help you focus on what you want to achieve and let’s do it together.

What Students are Saying:
“Is it Worth it? Man, I’d say yes, 100%, totally.”
-Ejike V.
“His courses saved my grades in University. I’m very glad that I bought it.”
-Kaio L.
" The same quality training you would get paying thousands of dollars to take a 3D course at a university. "
Steven M.
" From the skills I learned here I got accepted on a VFX 3D modelling masters degree, I can’t say enough good things about this course, best thing I’ve ever paid for! "
Hannah L.
" Lucas' explanations are really thorough, you learn about problem solving, how to operate the tools and what to think about when making things. I have never used Maya before this course and yet the software felt very comfortable after a few lessons. "
Keenan T.
" Does what every series should - provide a clear, easy to see tutorial without jumping ahead or assuming the user's first time doing something will cement it in their mind. Lucas is a very clear-spoken teacher and often gives insight into why decisions are being made, not just reeling off a list of buttons to press. I've come from Cinema4D but I can easily see a person with no prior 3D knowledge picking this up just as well. "
Jon B.
" Fantastic course! The amount of content you get for the price is almost criminal! Lucas knocks it out of the park (as always). "

Meet Your Instructor
Hi,
I created DCS after receiving hundreds of positive reviews from thousands of students about my courses. I wanted a permanent place to share my knowledge directly with students.
I work in commercial, film, and video games as an animator on some of the biggest projects in the world like the Avengers: Infinity War. I’ve also directed commercials for companies like LEGO and Braun.
That experience is what you will learn from at DCS.
I can remember what it’s like to be in your shoes, not sure what direction to take, and being frustrated by the lack of quality online education. Thank you for sharing your journey with me. I hope I can make it a little easier and more focused.
Stay curious,
Lucas Ridley
