It seems to be pretty common that there is confusion as to what graphic designers are. Graphic design is the design of text, lettering, menus, and logos - It's not heavily reliant on drawing or painting. What Dylan Cole is doing is called Matte Painting, and Conceptual Design / Illustration. Also: Fine Art is Not related to conceptual design/illustration, or matte painting AT ALL... so if anyone wants to study to create images like these... stay as far away from a major in Fine Art as you can!!! (Fine art = Modern, Abstract stuff - what you see in modern art museums. ...) This type of work (Matte Painting + Conceptual Design + Realistic Illustration) relies heavily on fundamentals - how the real world works visually: Perspective, Value, Composition, Color, Lighting, Camera lenses, etc. You will NOT find that in a Fine Art major, or a Graphic Design major AT ALL. It's a very specific and important set of tools that you have to research well if a college is actually teaching (or just saying they are...) I made the huge mistake of going to a university that did not teach the fundamentals.. Didn't even know that I needed to learn them.. didn't know WHAT they were. Went into fine art.. (when what I wanted, was to be a realism-based illustrator).... BIG MISTAKE... An expensive, uninformed mistake. All that I have to show for the "education" of fine art is a mountain of student tuition debt. Now having to "teach myself" the fundamentals from scratch - through concept art online talks/videos. So don't make the same mistake I did, if you're an aspiring realism-based artist. Study the Fundamentals, and don't get sucked into the trap of Fine Art or Graphic Design!!! That will be money flushed down the drain! Trust me!

have you checked out Gnomon? I think they are the best tutorial-makers since they cover both digital and freehand art. there are tuts from this guy, Dylan cole, and numerous syd field tutorials as well.. 'nuff said

Robert G Thank you - yeah, just recently found out about the site.. Really valuable information... Got sucked into a job prematurely, but when it's done, will dive in to learn. It makes no sense to keep creating mediocre work and spreading it all over the place...

Hey! I hope you are doing well now. Thanks for clearing these points out. It's almost 2023 and I feel like there are still too many people who actually can't differentiate between these.
