--I wish they didn't even use the word artist when talking about concepting. It's more design really.
03 Jul 14:38
--Of course, it is important to be able to make a good looking picture as a concept artist as well, so those skill sets really overlap for both jobs.
03 Jul 14:25
--The other areas like (value, perspective, form, shapes) I have a general understanding of them, just need to continue applying.
03 Jul 14:24
--Well you could say for illustration, some areas I still need to delve into (the theory part) is composition and story telling.
03 Jul 14:05
--Guess that makes it easy for me, though. I know exactly what I'm after–drawing awesome spaceships, mostly in a realistic hard-SF style (not space fantasy like Star Wars).
03 Jul 14:04
--I've realized that I'm a little bit unique for know exactly what I wanted to do before I even picked up my pen. With me, it's just DOING it that's the trouble. :D
03 Jul 14:03
--It does kinda, you just setting out on your path to find what you like best.
03 Jul 13:59
--But yeah, initially the thing that got me learning more on how to draw thus far is, I want that feeling of creating the worlds that I have seen that made be like "Inspired, In awe, In love, the design" of the whole creation

--You could say I am just following the advice I have been giving from Amit so many times, which is : "Just take a path"
03 Jul 13:55
--I guess the artists whom I follow fall more in illustration (Loish, Rhads, Albert Bierstardt, Rossdraws, Peter Han)
03 Jul 13:54
--To be honest I am not really sure you know. I am just juggling different things together to see what comes out of it, ha. Possibly illustration? Like art that makes you feel like I wanna be in that world kind of way? If that make sense.
03 Jul 13:53
--I've realized that I'm really interested in concept art, which doesn't change the skills I need, but it does change how I think about it.
03 Jul 13:52
--Although I do want to try illustration this month, not sure what. Writing down prompts/ideas.
03 Jul 13:51
--Same. Will definitely consider it in near future when I get into composition, for now, I want to focus on the torso anatomy.
03 Jul 12:55
--Very interesting, I'm not studying composition just yet, but I'm gonna keep this in mind!
03 Jul 12:51
--some of them probably, most have more sopisticated value transitions though. Notans are more about the form then you can develop them further
03 Jul 12:37
--@Piotr: So Notans would be good for someone wanting to start learning values?
