Can you please do a class or a video about clothing folds and wrinkles? I keep struggling to understand how it works despite looking at thousands of videos on the subject. Something about your teaching style just clicks for me better than other peoples.

can you tell me more about what kind courses to take in college that has the fundamentals of concept artist? Many people say to get a bachelor's degree in the relative fields like animations or game art and design.
This is amazing man thank you for your hard work, always been a fan of what you do, this youtube series is a godsends you dont even know! (Or maybe you do?) anyways thanks again! You're the best dude!
about the team that got laid off....... yeah...
if you're a concept artist, you have to deal with 2 types of people:
1. do something cool
2. do exactly what i want
second type is hell, mostly.
Precisely
Lolll spot on
😔
Doom be like.
or do exactly what i want but YOU have to figure out what i want
Man this is motivating and depressing at the same time
Someone who understands
exactly
And now Im shamefuly plugging my own YT channel where i try my hardest at digital art, in time lapse form :)
Discouraging*
Szia :D I just subbed!
As someone who recently reviewed 300+ interviews for an environment artist position, I can attest to the fact that your portfolio has to be relevant. A lot of people had nothing but pretty girls or a little bit of everything. I cannot judge an artist by one or two pieces. The artist we hired has 100's of different environment concepts! Because of the number of concepts that I saw, I am confident that he will deliver solid concepts in a timely manner, thus saving our small company money.
@Sam Fontaine if you love environments, you have to stand out in that area. Being average at many things is not as useful as being an expert at one field. Throwing creatures in there doesn't hurt... but I doubt you will get picked for a creature gig over someone who lives and breathes creature design (unless you're naturally a badass artist who can do anything and everything).
@@perigosu8449 So what I get is that you have to be extremely obsessive if you want to make it out there?
@@acertainpigeonman9064 yes.
@@perigosu8449 This is somewhat relative. If you're good (not necessarily expert) at many things maybe you're a great deal for a small studio where hiring 1 instead of 2 people matters.
Competition's tough for big studio's with specialized positions though so I'd say if you're interested in many things, "perfect" one of them and be good at the rest.
Me, who doesn't even know what a concept artist does: *interesting*
Well. Its a good idea to check it out. Especially when you dont know what concept artists does. :D
Is it what wlop does. Sorry idk what it is.
@@jeiiiiii-mc8bv ye mean "Woosh"?
@@laptopkid7283 really?? Woahh
I wanna be like that too
@@jeiiiiii-mc8bv Wlop is more of an illustrator I'd say. A concept artist needs to always concept new ideas. Wlop is always painting the 2 same chicks xD He's my favorite artist anyway.
Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like on the internet when I see people say they want to be a concept artist what they really mean is becoming an illustrator. I feel like a lot of people see other people’s finished images on diviantart and Pinterest they get a false idea what concept art really is.
I def agree
truth and so different, that I could scream hearing that sometimes :D
They should be shown some of FZD's videos
Most company's use concept art and illustrators the same way so you can be a concept artist/character designer and and up doing finished pieces for them
Totally. There's a big misconception about what concept art is since illustrations are used to promote games and films - most people see gorgeously rendered pieces and mistake them for being concepts. Most people don't see the rough, less-polished work that actually gets used behind the scenes in-house to make games.
"So you want to become an illustrator" should be the next video ;)
I’ll tackle that too for sure ;) Maybe not next one, but soon

Being the family failure is hard but SOMEBODY has to do it 😳😳
Omg i relate to this 🥲
Me from a family of Doctors watching this:

Woowwww Artist in a music family 🎉🎉
Then the family "failure" makes more money than the rest 🤣
Yeahhh I'm tired
The quote at 7:50-8:06 is a quote I'd bring for the rest of my art journey. I'm 17 and hoping to become an artist full time. I keep getting advised that 'art is not a competition' n shit, when in the professional world it actually is.
trust me ... art is a competition. not with others, but with yourself. Hang in there and goodluck 👌🏻
There’s a difference between fine art and what’s being discussed here.
Fine art is not a contest. There are many fine artists out there whose work is completely removed from the fundamentals that you would learn if you were interested in being an illustrator, per say. Because that’s not what’s important. It’s about the art, about the subject matter, about the visceral and emotional impact. All of which can be achieved without being a top notch draftsman.
An illustrator or concept artist is first and foremost a draftsman.
Two very different positions to be in as an artist. Just something to keep in mind.
you improve more when you don’t treat it like a competition, focusing on your own art instead of others your age or skill level is crucial
The old masters spent years on their pieces because they worked in their prime, making specific art as a job is tough because you don’t really use your creative brain
I think you should be an artist if you want to. Go for it!
it is most definitely a competition. There's like 1000 aspiring artists per job, do your math.....
I feel like I've got a lot of ideas but not the focus. I need to buckle down, stop procrastinating and actually start my portfolio
Same. And everytime i start a project i have a problem the internet can´t seem to solve for me, so i stop again and procrastinate again. Life´s annoying some times, innit?
I recommend watching Eizouken and this review: czcams.com/video/SJnhpYbrAYo/video.html
They talk about this problem.
The layoffs part was actually so sad to hear. They hire as much ppl to work on the game as possible and then when its ready to ship they just get fired cuz they aren't needed anymore, its such an asshole move from the company
Think of it like a contract
Was hoping for Marc to slowly come out of the water shirtless
he likes 'em big, he likes 'em chunky
Moto moto
marc is so ripped, he could probably photobash himself for one of his hero character painting
I want to be an illustrator but I feel the need to learn a bit of landscape and environmental art so I can properly convey the scene I want to portray. But then again, I also feel like spreading myself too thin or taking too much that I can handle. T_T
Intro: His Art is so immersive.
I needed this. Bad period for me, keep getting rejected and i have to take a few steps back.
Skærs good luck
I hope you succeed

WIsh you luck
Can you do a tutorial on how to create environments using the methods that you demonstrated in this video?
It’s very interesting and cool how you’re creating all of this but I wonder what tools and techniques you’re using to make it happen.
I personally love how concept art looks and feels
Same man
He never responded :
I smiled the entire way through the video. I'm 14 and have been unsure on what I've been wanting to do for my future career and only recently heard of concept art. Now after some research, it sounds perfect. Is this what people call their 'dream job'? This motivated me a lot to start working on more specific skills :) Thanks
That's wonderful news! I too am trying to figure out what type of art career i want to pursue, from a young age! I enjoy character designing but i also want to broaden my skills into learning different types of design like environmental design and so on. It might take a while for me to actually figure what i really am striving to become but i have good knowledge in character designing! 😁 Good luckk! :))
i wonder if it's possible to land the first job at 35 years old ( while having decent skills ) due to a complicated path . i'm in that situation and i'm a bit ashamed of my age .Born in 85 , at 20's in 2005 ,i didn't even know concept art was a thing xd nowadays at 15's years old and you tube ,you can haev a lot of ressources to learn.
I've heard Feng Zhu briefly discuss this. An older guy towards the end of his career switched from concept art to 3d modelling. A challenge but achievable. I'm 29 and still deciding between concept art and illustration so I'm still doing both.
@@jeremyk9400 yeah i heard him saying that , a guy in his his 20's has a lot of energy ,wich is true ,and that we have to compete with people like that, i'm not dead yet , but i can feel that i just have a bit less energy since my 30's , like i need to sleep 7/8 hours otherwise i'm dead,while when tyou have 20's 25 ,you sleep 4 hours and you're good ..But otherwise it's more about being afraid of being judged because you're older , like imagine , you get a job , and your art director is way younger than you ,i know it's all about your work and portfolio , but when you see a lot of young prodigy in the concept art industry , it's kinda scary but surely doable i guess
It’s definitely possible. You just have to work and train smarter. Focus on ONE area, whether it’s environment design, character design, props, modeling, etc., and become the best at it. Then if you want to, move on to other areas that interest you. Younger people have the advantage of trying out a bunch of different things before deciding what to do, older people less so. If you want to dive into this further, The Art Department podcast talks about this more.
Bottom line, age doesn’t matter. Your work and ability to meet deadlines does. 😉 Don’t feel ashamed of your age, just go out there and be awesome. Imagine yourself in ten years looking back having NOT decided to pursue the things you wanted. You’d be kicking yourself for not starting now.
hey dude, i'm 28 and im juust starting to be really keen on pursuing art... its hard not to be ashamed so i really appreciate you sharing. i struggle with energy, like i feel like the kids around me just have endless energy to practice but after i get done with my actual work i'm all but dead. i went back to school recently and eveeryone around me is like ten years younger. it's a trip. i wonder if there are groups catered to older artists getting started and such?
@@Within_Cells_Interlinked thanks for your input , yeah focusing on one area , is not easy as it's tempting to learn so many things and learning can also be a rabitt hole as well,i will take a look at the podcast , thanks for your encouragement ;)
I remember Karla Ortiz saying she was asked if she wanted to move to LA to work for Marvel. She said no, and they said that’s fine - she could work from home. Haha Just goes to show that if you’re really f’n good you may not need to relocate. 😄

Me going to school to become a concept artist: Thank you youtube algorithm
I think this video speaks the truth about the industry you will "have" to work extra hours and layoffs are really common but I think the way you said it make it sounds like artist need to tolarate this because it is like that and nothing can be done about, especially when you say is sometimes not paid. Hopefully and probably you think the same way as I do, is not ok. Please artists make yourself get respected. Do not get into positions where they exploit you, even if it is a great curriculum point, especially for years like Mark said, just quit those jobs is not worth it. Your art will speak for you and if you need to get prestige then better improve your art not your curriculum. Is a complicated job and world, I'm not trashing on Mark's words they are the truth but at least I'm trying to make it clear that yeah the industry is like that but is not ok and nobody should tolerate it no matter what. Is not cool to be on the club if the club just wants to harm you.
This was honestly extremely disheartening but I’m glad I know now. I was interested in environmental and character design but only really for cartoons and most of that industry is in LA and I don’t care how good a position is, that’s a hard no for me. I’m disabled and can’t move around a lot and would really struggle with relocation. I’m scared because there isn’t a lot of industry over here that isn’t 3D stuff and I need to be able to work remotely and from home. I hope something good actually comes from the virus and studios will have a lot more wfh opportunities to make their work my accessible.
Me being in my senior year of highschool, only just now realizing what I wanna be, with an intense creativity to draw something new everyday, this video helped me so much!
I've just got rejected from my dream college. I've wanted to work as character concept artist for years, so it broke me. Now I'm facing a difficult choice between giving up on my dreams or waiting another year and participate again. Your video brought me to tears and made me realize that I need to push forward, work harder, develop myself. I'll do everything to achieve my goal, despite the failures. Thank you, Marc
Might be a blessing in disguise! Only about 15% of all working artists have a formal art education so it's not at all needed, if anything statistically it's overwhelmingly a waste of money for students. What matters is your portfolio and how much visibility you have, that's it! (I never went to college myself)
"its all about ideas"
The video ends for me here , i consider myself the most uncreative person , my brain stops when i want to think about something new
Don't think just grab a big flat brush and fill in the canvas and then you'll eventually feel the need to decrease the brushes size and opacity as you go and voila you'll have a bunch of shapes before you find the time to think about it. (worked for me I used to overthink as well)
Well, nothing is actually new. Just start by combining different things that already exist. Did it turn out good? Great! Didn't it? Great too, you checked out a bad combination. The greatest concepts in my opinion are those that are sufficiently grounded to make me think they could actually be made/found in real life. If you don't like this approach, I believe you could still find a place at illustration where you draw things that already exist, like landscapes and other backgrounds/scenes
creativity is a teachable skill, dw. it's not about imagining or creating something new, it's about connecting things that already exist into one cohesive product. a remix, if you'd like.
people that're considered extremely creative simply saw patterns in things others didnt notice, or simply by messing around with the question, "what if ...?" what if i combine this with that? what if i use this colour/pattern usually associated with one thing to represent another thing instead? etc.
so, again, it's not about creating something new, it's more about mixing and matching things together with the intent of making something better than those things independently. moodboards and collages i think are really good practices for creativity. :-)
Little Somebody This thread was nice to read. High key motivated me thankss
Nothing is original. It's like "finding a style", learning from multiple good sources by trying to imitate them to see why and how they're good. Like ErickShocks said, if it didn't turn out well that's good too because you're learning from mistakes. Combine and see for yourself.
I've never seen anyone use the methods you use to color in artwork. It's so interesting the way you stamped the color from the images and then somehow blended them together.
As for your tips on making a career out of concept art, your words are very encouraging and inspirational. I hope to do the stuff that you do in a few years.
i've always been interested in being concept artist and this really helped me
i've always loved to invent things and some people even told me i'm too quick at coming up with concepts so it always seemed like a good thing to do in the future, thank you for making this video, it really did gave me a good vision on what the job is, and it's definitely something i want to be in
CZcams: so you want to be a concept artist?
Me at 3 AM: no not reall...
CZcams: to bad.. here's the video
I've been thinking about this career a lot, man your channel is gold, I've found gold.
Don't mind Marc, just casually emerging out of the water with a shirt on.
I took your advice from an older video you made, saying: Make a public portfolio. Get recognized, and build a community. I have a Deviantart page, even though I am not very good at digital art yet. I hope to improve while growing and enjoying this whole process. Thanks so much for the advice! I really love that I took that jump, and stepped out of my comfort zone.
Wish younger me had had this sort of amazing info and guidance before starting as an artist. But never too late I guess!! 💪
What you're talking about is actually applicable to almost every career.
I absolutely love this video, it was short but straight to the point and helped me to make my mind up about whether I want to be a concept artist or an illustrator. I'm going to work hard to become a concept artist specialising in characters. Thank you for this enlightening video and if I get the funds imma definitely go for your art school! Thanks for everything!! 🥰
I have no intention of doing this, in fact I'm barely capable of drawing something, but here I am watching this video with full interest like my future depends on it
Art is fun and party until you hear the reality of it as a job, i may take this tips to see what i want to be, thank you so much for this!
U dont how much you saved my life 😅 because i just realized that i really need to become an illustrator if i want to make cool environment and all thats cool illustration and not concept artist because im not into characters design and dont have a ton of ideas etc so thank you so much this video help to find my truth path of art ! 😊
Hi Marc,
Thank you for all your tutorials. I have seen a lot from you about how to draw and how to prepare professionally. As an aging artist, I have become concerned with creating professional longevity for myself. I have noticed it has been harder to sit in the same position without strains and pains. What is your experience with creating an ergonomic work setup and how do you keep your body in shape to grind out long hours creating digitally?
I'd never thought about being a concept artist before, but that this video has made me think about it, i think it would be a good job for me. I am very creative, enjoy drawings (specifically sketching) and my ideas can be all over the place leading to a interstingly unique interpretation.
What an amazing video! I definitely saved that game dev map website to my bookmarks. Now that I'm done with my master's, I want to get back into learning with your ART school curriculum since I have the time to dive in again 😊 thanks Marc!
The sound of background followed by your voice is calming and at the sametime depressing, I don't know why I felt this.
I don't know whether or not I want to, or will be a concept artist, but I am interested in it, mostly because I've looked at the concept art for Zelda games and it looked really cool to me. I love how different the characters looked early on, while still being recognizable as the same person, and it's fun to see early ideas that never made it in-game. :)
I'm currently moving away from a pure drawing process to a more concept art process and I'm LOVING IT.
Didn't know I fit the concept artist ethos so well.
I'll keep learning as if my career path is for a CA.
Pleas Marc can you talk about the iPad pro and procreate, i really would like to hear your opinion ! :D
this is great, im 19 and been drawing for a year and concept art seems like an amazing job path. thanks for the video :]
From my observation, clients usually game devs cant fully comprehend an idea whether its a good or bad one and cause of that, concept artists tend to illustrate their ideas to communicate well with the client. And it goes on and on until the two terms got mixed up.
This is perfect! Thanks for the tips, I'll show this to my significant other to let her make more informed decisions.
Thank you! Didnt know about the difference between concept and illustrators but frequently encounter them.
I really needed to listen to something like this, like two days ago I felt that I lost mi path and had a lot of fears, no that I'm back in a way, this feels refreshing and also inspiring, so, thank you so much fo sharing this, greetings from Colombia
I've had the goal of working as an artist in the video game industry ever since middle school and often think about choosing concept art as a path. I knew several of the expectations listed, but you got me thinking more about other things I hadn't fully considered. It's great to hear advice from an artist with experience in this particular field and I feel better hearing what you had to say. Thank you for this video.
Concept art is extremely fascinating to me because it signals the beginning of a new world.
Always loved concept art
Never stop because you all inspired me to become a engineer. Remember that what you do inspires so many people
Thanks you. You said you have to show your employer that you are as plug and play as possible. I never heard it put like that. Timeless advice.
I've been looking at articles about this just yesterday! _How come these videos always come at the right time_
Hello!! Professional COncept artists here and I absolutely agree. What is most important is bring ideas, use references and ideas to the table, finished art is not as necessary as people think. We have only had a few clients asking for fully rendered and finished concept art. Most of the time they just want visuals to the ideas they put out. If this is a job you want to be a part of absolutely give more value to your creativity and ability to put that down in an image than the quiality of fully rendered drawings!
I'm recently starting to study art by my self and I know I am try to get as good as an illustrator but my main and love goar ia been this a concept artist . Bring those oc to life as a comcept and just see them and my self have fun letting them out there for every one to see and enjoy them as much and this had given me so much more hope
I'm a Scottish Digital Media graduate with an interest in multimedia and concept design, especially characters. But I've been struggling to find work these last two years and my motivation for online courses (I've got tons of them I've yet to work through) has been drained.
Since I have a year or so before I need to be in college I’ve been trying to narrow down a goal, right now graphic design or concept art are the main ones I’m interested in right now
Specifically character or creature design
Thank you for the tips, I’ll keep them in mind for my application portfolio :3
Got a BFA in animation.. Realized I wanted to be an illustrator instead after a month. I never had the time at my school to sit down and think about what I was doing due to it being crunch time literally 24/7.
I got this, I can do this. I just need to stay positive! I've made leaps and bounds, but I still feel the daunting feeling of "You will never be good enough."
Thank you for this Marc!! It was very very helpful, I'm currently working as a background painter at an animation studio and I'm struggling to know which path to choose next, you solved all my doubts about concept art, could you maybe make a video about illustration path or vis dev too?
I swear to god, I was just going to start studying concept art and searching for tutorial videos. what a great timing
Honestly, I'm mesmerized by the background. This was very inspiring!
You worked on Overwatch? That’s so cool, definitely subscribing. I’d love to learn how you developed the world of Overwatch.
i ADORED that intro lmaooo, love you man
There is no way you made this today. 2 days ago i started doing concept art and watched a couple tutorials. I got pretty good at it, but i need this as well to get even better. Seeing different styles is amazing and helps me decide on my style. Thanks
Just yesterday I started classes at an art school to be a concept artist! I enrolled literally a few weeks before I was supposed to start community college and realizing I didn’t want to waste my time with a career I wasn’t passionate about. I’m so grateful to have found this channel!
Congrats on 700k. Love this channel.
Setting an achievable goal is critical when pursuig a career on entertainment industry. As Marc mentioned, this is very much like pro athletes and, like them, very few reach the top. If your goal is to work as a concept artist at a large or medium-sized studio, mastering fundamentals is a must. You need to get the proper training at art school; not a college art faculty, but at a school or art and design focused to produce highly skilled professionals.
Ask at any studio which professionals are they looking for, and the answer you will get will be "not concept artists" Some of them already have more than they would like to have. But you also will see that concept artist job offers are numerous and always open on internet, and that it is because that positions are aimed to the best of the best.
Ask yourself first if you are pursuing the proper career path. Positions on the entertainment industry are not as much as one would think and is a extremely competitive field (this is even more true if you come from a Third World country where decent art school don't even exist) If you are someone who is alredy over his 20s or 30s and is still struggling with art fundamentals and have no formal or structured training, being a concept artist is possible, but no so probable. There are a lot of other industries that allow you the same creative freedom and are more achievable for someone that has no access to the best training.
Families have told me becoming an artist is a hard job and very risky because it’s not secure, it’s discouraging but I really can’t help it. I wanna make lots of money so I can take care of my family, spoil and provide for them but I just love the idea of being an artist, I have always created characters and stories since I was a kid, and that desire continues to grow. 😭 its really tough.
Make sure you get your information from people who actually know what they are talking about ;) There's a lot of money in art, a LOT.
@@YTartschool thank you so much🥺
I'm a composer and can't seem to be able to land a gig or become part of a team, even tho I hear only positive feedback from anyone and everyone. Have been thinking about taking courses in Concept Design on the side and growing that skill as well. I used to draw when I was younger and was very good at it without having a teacher. Also, I think there are more concept artists required for a project than composers. I don't even know if that's a good decision but it's definitely something I've been thinking about.
Thank for the details, it helped a lot.
Look i clicked on this video at 7 in the morning right before school and i did not sleep at all and then you start talking....YOUR VOICE IS SO CALMING ITS NOT HELPING AT ALL RIGHT NOW AAAAA

The things you say are very reassuring to me, since it is ideas that I really excel at, and drawing/illustrating is the tool I want to use to show the ideas. Now I just have to keep on practicing.
Wait maybe I will make a good concept artist. My art teacher gave me crap from never finishing my pieces (which is valid), but I just like getting my ideas on paper. Colors, shapes, etc. Recently I’ve been really focusing on my illustration skills. Rendering, painting, emotion, etc. And like, I see you painting here! So that can’t be entirely pointless, but maybe I can focus more on what I’ve been doing~
Oooh, so concept, is like the creative mind who make the idea, the illustrator make that idea feeling full, and amazing?
u catch my eyes wth this openning
You are truly an expert in making landscape arts. Thanks for sharing Very valuable information
This is EXACTLY the type of industry I'm interested in! This was incredibly helpful, thank you soooo much! Most helpful industry related video on CZcams I've found so far! My dream is to become a character concept artist, but my art style still needs work. So it was super encouraging when you said that "good art" isn't always what's needed, but ideas are what really counts (and I have more ideas than I know what to do with, haha 'xD). Super excited to explore this more and find out if this industry is actual for me! I'm totally considering checking out your school when I have the funds! Digital art is a paaiiinnn to me, so any help in regards to improving it would be a life saver. Again, thank you so much! This was enlightening
I’ve been thinking of being a bit of a concept artist even if it’s not for like a job and more so just to like draw but there are three things holding me back:
1. I’m horrible at drawing
2. I have bad habits when it comes to drawing
(Specifically on paper)
3. I still draw like a child
Great video!! The song from FFX at the end really brought it home for me :')
The ASMR water entry with the sudden punch sounds on the like and subscribe buttons was perfect. xD
God I love this guy.
I'm 20 and can't draw for sht. Mental illness, bad environment and bad set up for drawing that kills my back is an excuse for now but I hope to get in a better place in life and start improving. Videos like this is what keeps me hopeful, it's not too late.
This inspired me to work more hard !!
I'm trying my best to be
Thank you so much as always!!

Wasn't expecting the Intro
Love your channel mate! Currently on term 3 of Art School and im seeing very quick improvements in my art skills.

Today i was asked to make concept art for a project, and coming from a country where the prices just increase, i dont say i draw horribly, but i'm not a pro either, i's kinda scary but i am trying to prepare myself for the best i can and improve in the way
instant like in the first few seconds just because of the amazing intro
this video is really helpful and inspiring at the same time, I was distracted by the piece in the background tho!!!
has been a while since i saw a video from you this really open my eyes to start working towards a goal, also it put a smile on my face to hear Travel Agency theme from FFX at the end!
even if i cant pay for courses atm i can at least follow these tips
