Complete Concept Art Course

Learn Real Concept Art for Video Games — From a 25-Year Industry Veteran

With over 25 years in the video game industry, I’ve worked as a Concept Artist on some of the biggest titles in the world — including World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade & Wrath of the Lich King, Diablo 3, League of Legends, Overwatch, and Fortnite.

These workshops teach you the real production techniques that most art schools don’t cover. You won’t just learn how to paint — you’ll learn how to design for production, create iteration-ready concepts, and deliver work that’s ready for 3D modeling and approval pipelines.

You don’t need to be the best painter to succeed as a concept artist. What matters is understanding the workflow, communication, and speed that studios expect. I’ll show you how to prepare your art so that leads and directors can quickly approve it — and how to avoid wasting time on unnecessary polish.

These are the most valuable lessons I’ve gathered from decades in AAA studios — practical, tested methods you won’t find in expensive art school programs that rarely reflect real production work.

If you’re serious about becoming a professional concept artist for games or film, this collection is the perfect place to start.

You’ll need:

• Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, Sketchbook Pro, Krita, or equivalent
• A reliable internet connection

Your hands (and your creativity)
