Concept Art for Games

Description

Concept art defines how characters and worlds look before a game is built. These ten PDF lessons begin with the fundamentals and the role concept art plays in game development, then cover essential drawing techniques.

You then look at digital painting basics and software setup, character design with silhouettes, and how to make game characters believable. Later lessons address environment design and world building, lighting and color theory, a first concept art project, and building a portfolio. The PDFs include exercises, tables and a checklist. Each lesson builds on the one before it, so the project at the end draws on every skill.

Who it is for: aspiring artists who want to learn the basics of concept art for video games.
