Have you ever looked at a drawing of a strange alien world or futuristic city and wondered: How did someone come up with that crazy idea? Me too!
Concept art usually refers to world-building artwork used to inspire the development of a bigger project. It's an approach to drawing utilized by visual artists, authors, game designers, filmmakers and many creative storytellers. For me, it's a way to mix real-life and imagination and bring new depth to a drawing.
Here are the topics I'll be covering:
- World Building
- Utilizing Fantasy/Sci-Fi Tropes
- Finding Inspiration
- Gathering References
- Planning a Composition
- Illustrating Depth
- Styling Line Art
- Using Tonal Planes
- Choosing Colors
All you'll need for this class is a pencil and paper but I'm working in Clip Studio Paint for visual clarity.
