FAQs

How can I create a clear project brief for a concept artist?

To make a clear project brief, start by describing your project's story or idea. Include key details, like what characters or settings the concept artist needs to design. Make sure to list any styles or themes you like, so the artist can understand the look you want.

What specific skills should I look for in a concept artist?

A good concept artist should be able to draw and paint well, with an eye for color and form. Look for someone who can imagine and create new worlds, characters, and items. They should also be able to take feedback and make changes as your project grows.

How do I set realistic deadlines with a concept artist?

First, talk to the concept artist about the time they need to create high-quality work. Discuss each project step and see how long each will take. Be open to adjusting timelines, so the artist can do their best work without feeling rushed.

Should I ask for a portfolio from a concept artist?

Yes, always ask to see the artist's portfolio. It shows you what styles and types of work they have done before. By looking at their past work, you can better understand if they match what you need for your project.

How can I ensure the concept artist understands my vision?

Communicate with the artist clearly and often. Share your ideas, sketches, or references that show what you have in mind. Having regular check-ins or progress updates helps ensure the artist is on the right track.

What tools and software should a concept artist use?

Concept artists often use software like Photoshop, Illustrator, or Procreate. These tools help them create detailed and colorful artwork. Ask the artist what they are comfortable using to ensure they have what they need to work effectively.

How do I handle feedback and revisions with a concept artist?

Start by giving clear and specific feedback. When you ask for changes, be as detailed as possible about what you want. A good approach is to focus on what is working well and what could be better, ensuring the artist knows how to improve.

What should I include in the contract with a concept artist?

Your contract should include the project scope, deadlines, and deliverables. Also, mention ownership rights, so it's clear who owns the art after the project ends. Including details about revisions ensures everyone knows how many updates are included.

How do I decide on the deliverables for a concept artist project?

Think about what you need the concept artist to create, like character designs, landscapes, or props. Clearly list each item and any special requirements, like file types or resolutions. This helps the artist understand exactly what to deliver.

What's the best way to kick off a project with a concept artist?

Start with a friendly meeting or call to introduce yourselves. Share your vision and project goals, so the artist knows what success looks like. Set up a timeline with milestones to track progress and keep everything on schedule.
