Concept Art
You will learn the whole process of creating concept art: from a basic idea to the final piece of artwork, and get the feel of what it is like to be a part of a project for an animated movie.
What is this course about?
You will learn how to start with a basic idea or a concept to create a world of its own using simple tools and techniques. You will go through the whole process like concept artists in real studios do, and discover what it’s like to be a part of a project for an animated movie.
I’ll demonstrate the workflow of a concept artist. We will start with a line sketch and slowly work through the artwork by using techniques like Photobashing and 3D modeling to create a final piece.
This course is perfectly suitable for people who don’t know how to draw since I use basic techniques and simple examples. You will still be able to produce a great result, even with no prior knowledge!
