Concept art is illustrative work created to visually explore and communicate ideas for characters, environments, and objects before they are produced in a final medium, commonly used in film, video games, and animation. Concept artists use tools like digital painting software (e.g., Photoshop, Procreate) to establish mood, style, and design direction early in a production pipeline. This work bridges creative vision and production, guiding art directors, modelers, and other artists throughout development.
