Im New, Young and need Guidence

[CarlSpringer]

hello im new my names Carl Springer, i am currently in secondary/high school, i am 14year old and what to become a concept artist for the game industry.

i am a very good drawer for my age not to brag, but i need serious tips on what i need to do to start. i love to paint but i am completly rubbish and i konw with concept art is based around painting techniques. i am wilin to learn everything, so where do i start.

Start by making a sketchbook on here, Carl. You'll get lots of advice and help if you do.

[CarlSpringer]

ok what type of stuff do i do because. im new and have never tried digital painting with concept.

should i post some of my pencil drawing on here or in the sketchbook i should make

Carl, don't worry about having digital work in your sketchbook. It's much easier to study and improve your foundations with traditional media. So go ahead and start a sketchbook and post your stuff! The digital will come later

[CarlSpringer]

ok thanks both of you's for your help i will make a sketchbook and post some stuff.
im intending to learn to draw anatomy and bone structure so i can be able to draw characters.

thanks all

Sounds like a solid plan, Carl. Remember to put the link to your sketchbook in your signature so everyone can easily visit

You start a thread in the "sketchbook" section of this forum. Let's say you name it "Carl's sketches" or any name you like.
Then you post images in there of your drawings and other will help you improve by posting a critique or some other useful information.

And no. A graphic tablet is just another tool, you don't need it for start.

THANKS i will make a sketchbook just go to produce some sketches first

[CarlSpringer]

i have made my sketchbook theres some anatomy work there im working on proportion at the moment

Your stuff is looking good. Make sure you keep a real sketchbook with you at all times and draw from life as much as possible. The art books will help point you in the right direction but drawing from life is the key to being a great pro.

i will try to draw from life when people are walking past or sitting down is just they come out as really rough sketches and not to good either
