From experience when doing concept design you must learn how to take criticism and not get defensive when receiving feedback. You almost have to be detached from your design work until the client is 100% satisfied, because at anytime the client can change or stop the project.

Only for competent clients is this true. If your client is at the first curve of Dunning-Kruger, their crits can not only be destructive and unprofessional and unproductive, they can cause so much frustration and antagonism in you that you turn into a jaded monster version of yourself. True in AAA where executive's dad and grandad owned this company, true for your friends in middle school. Learn to see that what's good for the project is what's good for you, even if you can't see it. But also learn who to invest your faith in and bail before it leads to the inevitable.

Pre-viewing an entire movie via storyboard is so powerfully efficient thanks for remining us. It's the best way to have quality control over conceptual messaging , composition, color palettes, camera panning, facial expressions, dialogue/scenery/action time balance. No wonder why the quality of the Art in Pixar look timeless despite the technical shortcomings that existed in the earlier years. The moment you put the tech and tools before the brainstorming your result is deprived of substance and though-impact.

9/10 I prefer rough sketches to the final image. There's something about the energy and exploration inherent in the messiness and loose pen/brush strokes that gets lost when the final image is cleaned up/rendered. The messiness also leaves room to *infer* detail as opposed to being explicitly *shown* all the detail in a finished painting.

Great question! It's not an easy feat when dealing with so many boards. It was a custom system to keep track of everything and every board was names in a specific numbering system. The editors would then bring all of those boards into editing software so make it play out as an animatic sequence so it would feel like watching the movie itself, complete with temp music and temp voices. It was then easy to just watch and see what emotions would be felt and then change it until it was really powerful

I really appreciate this video as this is more intermediate-advanced stuff. Most of the free tutorials and tips are always super basic and the fact that there's some people really sharing stuff like this is amazing. Not all self-taught artists can afford y a 200$+ course or have time to study 10hrs a day or do hours of research for knowledge like this, and sometimes when an artist gets to an intermediate leven and can do more, it becomes really hard to find some help from the pros, because everything is the same: draw from photos, rule of thirds, what does eye level mean, learn perspective with cubes... I wish there could be more videos/channels like this. The art journey is not all about technique, there are some psychological stuff or best practices that just a few know about. I've been a self-taught for 11 years but I feel like I'm at a point where I don't know what I don't know, so I cannot fix what I don't even know exists, if it makes sense... I feel pretty confident in technical stuff but having this kind of extra help that is not the usual super basic tips is really helpful.

I think this is really good advice in general, but I really struggle with doing this as an artist and its not for a lack of trying. You say these are loose, fast sketches and I have no doubt that they are for you. However, there's something important that all of these have from even the roughest iteration: clarity. I can look at these and see exactly what idea you are trying to convey. When I try to do something like this, my thumbnails completely lack clarity. I have an idea I'm trying to draw, but my quick drawings are so sloppy and unrefined I can't convey my idea properly through them; certainly not well enough for a client to understand. I don't really know how to resolve this either since I thumbnail literally everything I draw and have for years. I always try to do these quick sketches before working on a project, but they are always terrible at conveying information. I have to spend tons of time refining them to get my vision across which defeats the point of them being quick thumbnails. I'm saying all this to ask if you have any specific advice about tackling this issue, cause its not really something I've seen talked about. I'm also not sure its just a matter of experience either because I have artist friends who have drawn significantly less than me that can do thumbnails with much better clarity, so it feels like I'm missing something.

I suggest doing timed figure drawing. You'll get better at drawing faster with more clarity when you only have 5 minutes to draw an entire body. You could also practice sketching some simple concepts with clarity in 5 minute intervals. I think drawing with a timer when you want to improve your speed helps a lot.
@Window4503
Жыл бұрын
Is it possible that you’re too focused on the fast and loose part? The goal is to lay down the least amount of visual information that still easily conveys the idea. That doesn’t have to be done quickly. Your goal is simplifying a concept rather than just doing a concept quickly. Try drawing slowly and thinking about the most efficient way to convey an idea in as few lines or shapes as possible.

For most of my clients I would hear what exactly they were looking for and make an estimate of how many hours I think it would take me, then make a flat fee for them based off of those hour calculated.

It always worked wonderfully to set expectations up front very clearly before starting work. I hope this helps answer your great question
