Hey guys, this post is one the most important ones if you really want to become a successful concept artist or any other artist at that. No matter how detailed your illustrations or concepts are, they are not going to look realistic without knowing how to properly introduce light that makes every painting look real. When it comes to color, well, you can't successfully add interest nor can you guide the eye of a viewer if you don't have good understanding of the color theory and how it works. These 2 are very important and also hard skills to master. If you become successful in these 2, your art work will improve drastically and get you ahead of others by far.

Making of a Sci-Fi Character Concept / Illustration

Here is a nice tutorial on Sci-Fi character concept design. On that web site, You can also find tutorials such as: concept art, digital painting, figure drawing tutorials.

"This tutorial is a detailed, step by step walkthrough of my process in making a Sci-fi character concept / Illustration. This image was originally an assignment for a PC Gamer cover, which unfortunately never got used. The subject is a sexy Borg female. Since it was a cover assignment, I wanted to have some fun and do a little spoof on the famous Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover.

This a very long and detailed workshop. It’s a also a Photoshop (PS) tour-de-force. Meaning, I wanted to pull out all the stops and use as much PS “tricks” and fx as possible. This is a special treat for those who want an insider look at how to leverage PS to quickly add a professional looking finish.

I often use this same approach for creating concept art, and the techniques can also be applied to texture mapping. There’s a lot of content here, and we’ve got a lot to talk about, so let’s get right into it"...
