Concept Art Tutorial: Painting Environments
Concept Art Focus: Visual Story Telling
World creation is all about→describing people. This seems backwards, I know.
As Concept Artists we use the environment to provide context and detail to convey the personality and storyline of a character, as well as the larger storyline surrounding them.
It's amazing how little it actually takes to create a meaningful experience for our audience. By using intentional details, atmosphere and depth-we can drive our viewer through a narrative and create resonance.

@@fowlerillus Mr. Fowler I know this is not where I should ask this question, but I don't know any other place to do so, I love this industry and I love to be a concept artist, but it needs lots of abilities, skills and experience, how should I get there?! I mean I can't do personal projects for 5 years to become a concept artist and I can't work as one without the knowledge and skills! how can I get there?

As always, you level up with each video, Hardy. I especially love how you match the elements position and shapes with the golden spiral, how you create those ground leaves tiers and how you turn the monocromatic building of values onto an alive painting. Thanks for sharing this video!

I like how the reflected light from the field dominates the fog inside the dense forest.... Composition is as always top notch , I always lag creating some point of visual interest in my environments as I am practicing .... The point of visual interest in here is those two bright orange sparks in the broken wires of abandoned car .... it immediately catches attention

@@fowlerillus Awwwh :D I rewatched your lineart course recently right before the academy started, where you made this cool killer machine out of that car and I attached this landscape painting immediately as a sequel to this as soon as I recognised the shape. Now it might be broken down, all guns and spikes removed since it can not drive anymore, but it still has a purpose as an energy engine for the house. Beetles for the rescue!

@nomad_actual Жыл бұрын

Is there a chance in the future there will be an updated or even a part 2 of your painting environments course? just so we can see your current workflow in more depth

@fowlerillus Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I'm glad that you would be interested. I don't have any immediate plans for a full course followup BUT I am going to be releasing individual project kits over the next year (I just finished a cyberpunk cityscape that will be one of the first kits) so there will definitely be new environment lessons and new techniques coming out soon.

I'm New to this but I already feel like I can't do anything. Kinda given up before even starting. dont know from where should I start

@fowlerillus 2 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that - I know the feeling - these things can feel really daunting at first. I would recommend starting with some fundamentals of environment design. Relatively simple concepts like atmospheric perspective and composition can instantly lead to progress.
