Introduction: What is Concept Art?
Art, in and of itself, is a powerful tool for storytelling. It can convey a wide range of emotions and ideas, and can help bring a book, movie, or game to life. But as powerful as it is, art is limited by language, and the things we can't describe with words. That's where concept art comes in. In concept art, artists create art that has never existed before. It is a sort of digital "before and after" version of something. Not only does it save time and money, it helps us discover new ideas.
It's almost as if an artist's mind has been opened up and allowed to run free, without the restrictions of language. Concept art can be used to convey a wide range of ideas and emotions, but often it's used to visually show a scene, character, or idea before it happens in the game or book. You may have seen some of this work in videos or screenshots, but if you want to see more and learn how to do it yourself, keep reading. I'll show you the basics, and then some of my own concept art and in-game screenshots to give you an idea of what can be done.
Instincts of Good Concept Artists
One of the first things that comes to mind when you hear the word concept art is a drawing of a human figure. But concept art can be so much more than that. It can be a single human figure, or a group of them. It can be a still life, or a landscape. It can be a single object, or a series of them. The possibilities are endless, and that's what makes concept art so exciting. You can use it to tell a story, or convey an idea, and it's almost like an artist's mind has been opened up and allowed to run free, without the restrictions of language.

Tools You'll Need for Your First Step into the Land of Ideas and Visions
So what do you need to get started? Well, the first thing you'll need is a pencil and some paper. (You can use paper from drawing class, or even construction paper if you're feeling artsy.) Next, you'll want to find a comfortable place to draw. I like to draw in a quiet space where I don't feel like I'm being judged or watched. Some people like to draw in cafés or bookstores, where they can draw away from the prying eyes of others. It all depends on your preference. Once you have your drawing space ready, it's time to get drawing!
Best Practices and Tips For Getting Started As a Newbie Artist
When you're starting out as a concept artist, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, don't expect to produce concept art on your first try. It may take you months or even years to get even the most basic concepts down. Don't get discouraged if your first attempts look nothing like the concept art you see online. That's perfectly normal, and it just means you're learning. Second, don't expect to produce concept art on your first try.
