The Gnomon Workshop Information

Founded by Alex Alvarez in 2000, The Gnomon Workshop launched as a means to share professional techniques with artists unable to attend the on-campus courses offered at Gnomon – School of Visual Effects, Games + Animation in Los Angeles, California. The Gnomon Workshop’s mission is – and always has been – to provide the highest caliber training that both educates and inspires, to help artists achieve their personal goals. For more than two decades, The Gnomon Workshop library has grown to offer instruction from hundreds of professional artists covering a diverse range of tools, software, and media. Whether you’re looking for design tutorials, want to improve your drawing, learn sculpture techniques, expand your painting abilities, or gain new modeling, texturing, animation, effects, and compositing skills, the library has an extensive collection of content to suit artists of all disciplines. All tutorials are by top industry talents who are primed to educate the next generation of artists. Users range from high-school students who are first discovering career opportunities in the entertainment industry, to seasoned professionals with decades of experience. Studio licenses are also available to enable entire teams to keep their skills in top shape. While The Gnomon Workshop is dedicated to online training, our sister company, Gnomon School, is located in Hollywood with a campus comprising of over 30,000 square feet of classrooms, studios, lounges, labs, offices, and production space. Together, the Gnomon companies have educated many of the world’s best digital artists through a variety of educational options. To learn more about Gnomon School, visit gnomon.edu.
