Course Overview

Illustration & Digital Art

Concept art is problem solving under a deadline, not a finished painting. You will gather and use reference properly, generate many thumbnail options before committing, and apply perspective and composition to sell scale and mood. The course covers prop and environment design with believable function, photobashing and paint over techniques for speed, iterating on art direction feedback, and presenting a concept package with callouts that a modelling or production team can build from.
