    is there an age limit to get into concept art?

    • @fowlerillus
      @fowlerillus 8 днів тому

      I would say it's never to early or too late to start. Young people can always begin building skills and filling up their visual libraries with cool stuff. For older artists or those starting a second career - there is really no ageism or exclusiveness - older artists seem to have a longer and broader memory of cool design languages and pop culture and can often bring unique value to a project. Whether you feel you are on the too young or too old end of the spectrum, I would strongly urge you not to rule yourself out

    • @Will-vz3yf
      @Will-vz3yf 13 днів тому

      Also how is he creating the nice gradients without using the smudge tool, is it the soft brush? Ps. Thank for the amazing, actionable advice!

    • @fowlerillus
      @fowlerillus 12 днів тому

      Sorry, I know the video is sped up and a lot of steps like that get totally lost, but no worries, I can clarify that. I'm painting within selections but they are hidden. I will command click the thumbnail of the layer of the main shape silhouette. That creates a selection with a dotted line so that I can paint within that shape on other layers. I hit command H to hide the dotted selection line to avoid the distraction. Let me know if that doesn't fully answer your question but I think that was what you were referring to.

    • @fowlerillus
      @fowlerillus 12 днів тому

      @Will-vz3yf 11 днів тому

      @@fowlerillus By the way, do you know if there is a way to create a selection within another selection? Sort of like a clipping mask for a clipping mask, so that you can stay within the initial shape while making another shape with the (probably polygonal) lasso tool, without just putting a lasso tool over a clipping mask? I feel that it would speed up my work flow. No worries if not of course!

    something to counter is that i always like finding detail in a piece that i didnt know i would find. like a small corner of a piece that noone would look at. i do like art that is efficient with detail. but detailing something noone would thing to detail is something thats fun to find.

    • @fowlerillus
      @fowlerillus 19 днів тому

      That's a really good point. I definitely didn't mean to say that all detail is bad - I love finding those little lovingly crafted areas of focus in art too and that's a really cool idea to put it somewhere unexpected like an easter egg.

      @fowlerillus 19 днів тому

      That can be quite a challenge. I think using a photo or another piece of art to sample colors from is a great way to practice and to master that atmospheric perspective bit. As for making something seem huge - those color queues can help communicate distance (and hence size) but there are other ways like density of detail and other scale queues that can help make something seem massive.
