In this workshop we will focus on how to create memorable Concept Art pieces / illustrations of imaginary worlds. What is the process to craft dynamic and immersive images of believable new universes, for productions or personal projects.
Day one:
● Intro: My background – Bio & Portfolio, and quick intro of each participant
● Lecture: Journey on how to become a Concept Artist and what is his role on a production. What are the bridges between Concept Art and multiple other artistic jobs
● Review of basics and fundamentals, analyze of memorable concept art pieces and illustrations
● Demo + Workshop: based on a common simple brief and mood board focused on environment design, let’s start sketching! Lines, shapes, design, blocking the general composition, light direction, quick black and white values
● Homework: if you want to, I invite you to keep working a bit more on your thumbnail. I’ll ask you to send me your work 2 hours before the class starts the next day, so that I can have a quick look over everyone’s work before the feedback session
Day two:
● Feedback Session: Go over sketches / thumbnails of the participants
● Lecture: Going through the different possibilities of crafting a digital concept art piece – organized or wild, depending on the project, the shot, your style, your inspiration…
● Demo + Workshop: based on your own thumbnail (or mine if you prefer), we’ll go to the next step: the first color pass – choosing the local colors, defining the mood with the hues of shadows and lights
● Homework: again, if you want to, I invite you to keep working a bit more on your image. I’ll ask you to send me your work 2 hours before the class starts the next day, so that I can have a quick look over everyone’s work before the feedback session
Day three:
● Feedback session: Look over workshop exercises of the participants
● Demo+workshop: How to push the details of your image, trying not to lose the liveliness and vibrance of the previous color passes / brush strokes
● Portfolio review: Look over portfolios with the participants
Bonus:
● 1 PSD file of a final Concept Art for you to keep

*Frequent questions:
What happens if I can’t see the classes live one day?
• No problem. All classes are live but will also be recorded and posted on our platform. So you can see them whenever you want throughout the duration of the course. This means that if you cannot attend your class live at the stipulated time, you will be able to see them on the platform until the end of the course. These video-classes posted on the platform can be viewed unlimitedly during the duration of the course but cannot be copied or downloaded. They can also be viewed for 20 days once the course is over.
When can I see the classes I did not attend live?
• Access to the virtual platform where you can consult all the information or documentation of the course, access all the classes that have already been taught or the proposed exercises.
