Categories of concept art
- [Instructor] Let's talk about what you'll be asked to design. This is what I like to call the five main food groups of concept art, and it goes like this. Characters, creatures, vehicles, props, and environments. These five major components are necessary to build a world, and is important to remember that is what you are, a world builder. So what does a world need? It needs people to interact with, a setting to give it context, props for people to use, and maybe a horse or a car for transportation. These categories don't cover everything, but it is definitely a great place to start in regards to building a portfolio, and showing your competence as a designer. Let's start off with the first category, characters and creatures, and dive into the process of creating iconic designs.
