What do i know about Concept Art

In concept art I should be focusing on the visual idea generation. In concept art the goal is usually not the create the most rendered pieces or the more finalised product, but, creating the start to it all. Setting the mood, sketching the environment, shaping out the characters, and how to create a visually understandable and pleasing story just by the props and actions.

To excel at concept art, I need to learn how to massively produce ideas and discard old ones. I think a great mindset is to not get attached to drawings as usually only about 20% to 40% of a concept artists work is used into the making of the final product. I need to study more the shape, anatomy, perspective, colour theory, better line-art, and some other things along the way.

By studying concept art, I can get such jobs as 2d game artist, concept artist for companies such as film making and other media and occasionally, I have seen concept artists going for illustration. But I believe concept art is very generalised and the individual personal skills is what is going to determine what job you get or if you do get a job.

If I were to score myself out of my knowledge in concept art from 0 to 10 i would give myself a 6. I know the fundamentals, however there is still so much to learn.
