Concept Art

Concept art is used by creative producers, especially for movies and video games, to help portray an idea or, as the name implies, a concept. Unlike typical illustration, it is used to establish an idea, mood, or overall feel of the project while under construction.

This creative process can increase productivity by giving your team the ability to visualize the focal point of the project. Corel Painter allows you to produce extraordinary concept art so that you and your team stay on track while developing a work of genius.
