Concept Designer Nick Pugh has been pursuing originality in the fields of vehicle and entertainment design for over 15 years. After graduating from Art Center with a BS in Transportation, he delved into a long-term project to build a functional concept vehicle of his own design. This endeavor has led to the design and development of personal concept cars for other clients. Nick is a Lead Concept Artist for visual effects studio Rhythm and Hues, where he creates original character, vehicle, FX and prop designs for feature films, commercials and print. Recent film credits include The Ring 2, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Garfield and Serenity. His personal work can often be seen in books and media publications.

概念艺术家的终极目标就是创建属于自己的独特的艺术设计语言。Nick的讲解让观众尽可能的接近这个目标。教学中介绍了保持头脑与身体清醒的启发性资料与方法，教学中还有手工操作的流程。通过140幅草绘图得到了6张铅笔渲染出来的图像，它们得到了一个新奇的外观与造型，可以被用于各种不同的设计对象中。

The ultimate goal for the concept artist is to create an individual artistic design language that is unique to them. Nick's demo takes the viewer through the process he uses to get as close to this goal as possible. The ephemeral nature of this subject is discussed within the framework of historical context. Inspiration sources and methods for cleansing the mind and body are shown, and a hands-on process is demonstrated. Over 140 pages of sketches lead to 6 pencil-rendered images that define a novel look and form that can be applied to a wide variety of designed objects.
