Creating something epic? SHOW US YOUR WORK! If you've got great art that you're proud of, share it in the comments below, we'd love to see what you've created! Also, do you have any artwork that helped inspire your journey? We'd love to see that too! For me, it was the work of Erik Tiemens and Ryan Church on Episode II that really got me hooked. Tell us your inspirations!
I have over 30 years of drawing experience but have never been able to grasp how to create that splash type of concept art. More of this please. I feel I can get a better understanding of this now at my elderly 44 years of age that was still beyond me in my 20s
Some things take time to click! It took me years to wrap my head around photographic color before it finally made sense, and when it did it was all of a sudden! I’m happy to delve into this topic more deeply - what sort of roadblocks do you come across when attempting to make this kind of splash art? I’ve often found that, when something isn’t clicking for me, it’s that some part of my brain is refusing to accept how simple the formula is. “It must be more complicated than this!” my mind cries. And often, it’s not - splash art is designed to be popular, and popular art is often very simple! It hits a couple of key notes, and if you can make a shortlist of those ingredients you can hit the target every time
@@Cacalotlraven With understanding photographic color, it was a perfect microcosm of resisting the simple answer and trying to make things harder for myself by overthinking. So color is not my native language, I think in line first, then value, THEN color. And I kept thinking successfully painting photographic color meant I had to invent a color scheme in my head and do all the calculations mentally, which wasn’t my strength. When it finally clicked - “you’re not good at color - sample from photos,” THAT’S when my art started to take off. The same thing has held true for me many times - when something has failed to click, it usually turns out I’m trying to completely reinvent the wheel on it. Many answers are simple and we resist simple answers, thinking it must be more difficult than it seems. With splash images, it really is a very simple formula - like action movies. It needs a hero, usually in some sort of peril, a big reveal or threat, bright colors, and a clean composition with big scale contrast.
@@controlledcrashart I am similar. I grew up learning to draw shapes and details afterward like a comic artist. I see concept artist paint with broad strokes instead of focusing on shapes and lines they use volume and space. My brain can't think that way.

@@controlledcrashart what is the method you used to grasp that phenomenon? What would you do differently in order to understand it faster?
