Conceptart.org | Evoke the Dragon | Sketches & Color Studies | Sammy Hall

In this first of two in-depth tutorial explorations, concept artist Sammy Hall covers basic and advanced techniques for developing visions of a conceptual world, focusing on fantasy dragons and their environments. As he flows along his path of creation, Sammy's design and use of composition roots you into each of his visions, covering everything from brainstorming to inking thumbnails to finding a methodology to your design, and then building diversity and options with color. In the 2nd download, he renders the chosen color scene into a fully developed concept illustration, sharing the lessons he learned while creating the painting, and giving you a true-to-life experience in how digital tools can help you to constantly add polish to your own creations.
