Editing Concept art (section)

==Themes and styles==
Concept art has always had to cover many subjects, being the primary medium in [[film poster]] design since the early days of [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]], but the two most widely covered areas are [[science fiction]] and [[fantasy art|fantasy]].{{citation needed|date=February 2014}} Since the recent rise of its use in video game production, concept art has expanded to cover genres from fantasy to realistic depending on the final product.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Stefyn|first=Nadia|title=How to Become a Concept Artist {{!}} Blizzard Artist Tyler James Explains|url=https://www.cgspectrum.com/blog/what-it-is-like-to-be-a-professional-concept-artist|access-date=2020-10-25|website=www.cgspectrum.com|language=en-au}}</ref>{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}

Concept art ranges from [[stylized]] to [[photorealistic]] depending on the needs of the project. Artists working on a project often produce a large turnover in the early 'blue sky' stage of production.<ref name=":0"/> This provides a broad range of interpretations, most being in the form of [[Sketch (drawing)|sketches]], [[Speed painting|speed paints]], and 3D overpaints. Later pieces, such as [[matte painting]]s, are produced as realistically as required. Concept artists will often have to adapt to the style of the studio they are hired for. The ability to produce multiple styles is valued in a concept artist.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}}
