'''Concept art''' is a form of [[visual art]] used to convey an idea for use in [[film]], [[video game]]s, [[animation]], [[comic books]], [[television shows]], or other media before it is put into the final product. The term was used by the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] as early as the 1930s.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Tengrenn |first1=Gustaf |title=1930 / 1940 Disney Concept Art by par Gustaf Tenggren |url=http://www.ufunk.net/en/artistes/gustaf-tenggren-disney-concept-art/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315132156/http://www.ufunk.net/en/artistes/gustaf-tenggren-disney-concept-art/ |archive-date=15 March 2015 |access-date=25 September 2014 |website=Ufunk |publisher=Fabien Bouchard |pages=www.gustaftenggren.com}}</ref> Concept art usually refers to world-building artwork used to inspire the development of media products, and is not the same as [[storyboard]], though they are often confused.{{Citation needed|reason=If this is true, citation/example should be provided for clarity and differentiation between the terms CONCEPT ART and STORYBOARD.

Concept art is developed through several iterations. Multiple solutions are explored before settling on the final design. Concept art is not only used to develop the work but also to show the project's progress to directors, clients, and investors. Once the development of the work is complete, concept art may be reworked and used for advertising materials.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Concept Art World {{!}} Featured Art Inspiration |url=https://conceptartworld.com/category/inspiration/ |access-date=2022-06-06 |language=en-US}}</ref>
