Creating Concept Art


All of us have already been creators. Have you ever created a character? When you were a child, you might have had an imaginary best friend, someone from the corners of your mind. That's creation.





Who is this? What are you doing here? Is this character good or evil? What does it look like? Can you imagine how this character smiles? Characters will not survive unless they can gain the empathy of viewers.




After setting up your story, people can understand the character's personality and behavioral patterns.


Real people are very complicated. Everyone has a trauma, big or small, and has unique tastes and ideas. People are driven by the 'self' that determines who they are.




If you apply this person's psychology to a character, you can really bring your character to life.




After writing the character's narrative, the next step is to create a character sheet. The character sheet fills in all the gaps you need to fill, showing your character in different expressions and poses.



Anyone can write a story, but a good story comes from learning.

After taking this class, you will be able to create stories that are engrossing to anyone who sees.

Drawing more diverse characters


"Every character drawn is the same!"


The students in my class are always worried about this, and it's also something I've struggled with a lot in the past. What kind of practice do you need to draw different characters?



Most of the problems come from your specific tastes. Because there is only one style of characters you like, and it will be all you’ll be drawn to create without studying further character styles.



Knowing the wide spectrum of character types and researching popular styles for those characters, you can create more amazing characters.

And in this class, I will present a breakthrough not only for character backgrounds, but also for their visuals.

Image a fantasy


After organizing your characters and world in harmony, you will learn how to draw images that make the story magical. In addition, I will teach you design tips to let your character's personality shine through your art.


I had a lot of opportunities to work as a character concept designer in a variety of fantasy worlds, and in the process I learned a lot about the character creation and work concept.


Practical design tips that are not shared anywhere else will also be shared with you in this class.


In this class, you will refine the world you have created to be more convincing and three-dimensional, and put in your creative characters in it to create an entrancing story.


The result will remain as a detailed character sheet that has been polished under professional feedback, an image board that can remind you of various scenes, and concept art that puts everything together.

Hi!

I am a workaholic and artist Qmeng who has been working nonstop right after graduating from high school.

Since 17, I have been a teacher and have been active in various fields including animation, illustrations, and games. Now I am mainly focused on animation!

I started animation because I wanted to draw my creative characters and bring them to life, but before I knew it, it became my new job.


Every Saturday, Sunday and Monday I hold classes for aspiring artists. I have been teaching this class for a little over 4 years. Since I was a middle school student, I seemed to like to open a communication window to share knowledge and feedback with new people. That's why I think seriously as an instructor.

Since I think the artist's values ​​and self-formation are the most important, I am conducting classes mainly to have conversations and discussions with students. So Class101 is a fresh challenge for me.

Although I am an artist who is constantly studying myself, I would like to share with you the creative theories I have accumulated during my work.

See you in class!
