Focusing on the earliest stage of pre-production, inspiration becomes the artist's most important weapon in pitching an idea to a director. In this class, Aaron Limonick demonstrates bringing an abstract ink experiment to a realized conceptual sketch using Adobe? Photoshop?. The focus of the sketch will range from industrial design to creating a traditionally painted look and a textural surface within the digital medium. While the demonstration will cover a multitude of digital painting techniques used to create concept art, it will also stress the importance of inspiration and the link between influences and the final product itself. Aaron will give his account of working as a concept artist in the entertainment industry, while searching for unique sources for imagery and creative stimulation.
