How to Create Concept Art that feels Edgy and Cool

What the hell is COOL? As visual artists, it is our job to create cool out of thin air, but how do you even quantify it and how on earth do you create it? Join me in this video as we take a deep dive into the nebulous concept of coolness and explore how it can be harnessed to create stunning digital paintings. Together, we'll examine the key elements that make a piece of art truly cool, and how you can apply these principles to your own work. As we discuss the finer points of coolness in art, a dynamic robot painting will take shape in the background, giving you a real-time example of how these concepts can be applied in practice. And if you want to try your hand at this painting project yourself, be sure to check out our Robot Drone Project Kit in the DPS library. So whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out in the world of concept art, this video is sure to inspire you to unleash your creativity and create truly cool works of digital art.
