📝 Description
This isn’t a generic “how to draw” course. Titus Lunter focuses on the problem-solving side of concept art. He starts by asking the fundamental questions: who lives here, what is this building for, and why does it look this way? This approach grounds your designs in logic, making them far more convincing.
The course is structured around a single, focused project: designing one building from scratch. You’ll learn to break down complex architecture into manageable parts, find your own architectural style, and then tackle perspective and color. Titus’s teaching is direct and practical, showing you exactly how he iterates on an idea to find the strongest design. He emphasizes the “do’s and don’ts” of architectural design, helping you avoid common pitfalls that make fantasy buildings look fake.
🧑🎓 Who this course is for
- Aspiring concept artists looking to specialize in environments and architecture.
- Illustrators who want to add more structural believability to their fantasy worlds.
- Hobbyists and game masters who want to create custom, professional-looking art for their campaigns.
