Step into the world of game art and discover how characters, environments, and stories come to life – one sketch at a time.

In this workshop, you’ll explore the creative process behind building game worlds from early concept art to character creation. Led by games course team from AUB, you’ll get hands-on with techniques used in the games industry to shape characters, build environments, and design compelling gaming experiences.

Whether you’re into storytelling, sketching, or just love world-building, this is your chance to see how games begin – on the page, in the studio, and in the mind of an artist.

  • Explore the fundamentals of game art and concept design
  • Build characters and worlds from scratch
  • Watch a live demo of digital asset creation
