What students are saying about this game design digital drawing course:

"Incredibly useful and high quality course, providing you with industry standard workflows and techniques. Concise and to the point." - Daniela Draganova

"Nice workflow. Exactly what I was looking for" - Mark Ojar

We will cover the following core skill sets:

• Philosophies and mindset of a concept artist

• Generating ideas for narrative design

• Reference Studying

• Photoshop Basics

• Design principles

• Design Sketching

• Linear Perspective

• Space layout design including floor plans

Some of these topics could be courses by themselves so we will look at methods concept artists use to “hack” things like perspective. The most important rules for creating entertaining sound designs will be covered but we will not go in depth over all of the design principles. As for PhotoShop, we will go over the basics needed for this course, with the end goal of a layout sketch in mind. Tools and tips will be covered throughout the course and future ones as needed.
