Concept Art Drawing Imaginary Worlds

Have you ever looked at a drawing of a strange alien world or futuristic city and wondered: How did someone come up with that crazy idea? Me too!

Concept art usually refers to world-building artwork used to inspire the development of a bigger project. It’s an approach to drawing utilized by visual artists, authors, game designers, filmmakers and many creative storytellers. For me, it’s a way to mix real-life and imagination and bring new depth to a drawing.
