brilliant video man always nice to get insight on the concept art side of video games :)

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@daveKoRnfan Thanks buddy! Was thinking of your drawings when I mentioned P32 viewers who like to draw :)

Another great video, Im currently doing a Game Design course along with my ICT courses. Though im not into concept art like in this video, i prefer to actually make the 3D models of what these guy's draw and actually produce the games and put them together ect.

I've only made a few games at the moment but when you try to make a game, mostly the full 3D style games you get a whole new idea of games, how they are made and the effort gone into making them, plus how hard they are to actually make.

[PlatformThirtyTwo]

@DeanGetYourWings Yeah, I think a lot of people take games fro granted and don't think about the actual processes in building them from the ground up. God luck on your course dude!

This is actually very relevant to the college course I'm currently doing which focuses on the 3D Modelling aspect of game design. One of the requirements is a basic understand of concept art, and the ability to draw to a certain degree. Unfortunately that's not a skill I possess, although a large section of the course is aimed to 'teach' you how to draw, but how well remains to be seen.

@SolidarityIX Ah sweet, well I hope this video was of some kind of use or inspiration for you dude! I like to draw crappy little manga style doodles but nothing near the kind of standard these guys show!
