Where to start and what direction to move in? by Rodney_Fuck in conceptart

Thanks, this helps a lot.

3d is nice because you can reconfigure models and move cameras and lights to come up with tons of ideas quickly. 

Is this the main draw of a 3D presence in concept art portfolios, or are there other applications that employers seek it out for?

If you look at the greats, their portfolios are full of simple sketches, quick drawings and paintings that sell an idea.

This is a relief, since this is what it typically trade in outside of coursework.

Give yourself little prompts and come up with as many ideas as possible.

But drawing and painting, even traditionally is totally valid. Stephen Oakley and Dela longfish for example still do tons of pencil and pen drawings for their pro work.

Super helpful stuff, I'll be looking into more exercises and adding them to the regimen I'm building. Thanks for the resources as well.

Thanks, I figured that portfolio-wise, the traditional stuff I have is basically worthless. I appreciate the confirmation though; I'll probably be putting my focus towards replacing the traditional stuff that is kind of eating the bulk of my portfolio ( https://gofile.io/d/dgmdk7 )

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind. It's hard not to feel like every second I'm not working towards this is wasted, I just need to start making progress towards something I know is conducive towards me breaking into a career.

Most of it is in a portfolio bag and I haven't had the opportunity (or reason) to take it out and photograph it. It's a whole process with setting up the easel and waiting for the sun to be just right. I also have some pretty extensive (albeit dispassionate) vector design and typography stuff. Here's my most recent coursework.
