PHOTOBASHING TECHNIQUES IN CONCEPT ART

When working as a concept artist in film and game productions, I’m often asked to produce a variety of images. The context of the image can vary drastically (and the deadlines!); I might get to work one particular image for several days, but sometimes I may only get a couple of hours.

And that’s what I thought we could look at in this workshop. I want to introduce a standard industry practice called photobashing that’s quick and fast to produce, while explaining how you can use these techniques to create an original design ready for production.
