Do you want to know everything about Concept Art? Enroll in this 100% online Postgraduate certificate and specialize in a branch of illustration with a wide demand in the creative labor market" 

Concept Art could be defined as the visual representation from which a final image comes from, that in other words, it is the preliminary visualization of an idea that later becomes an animation project for film or a video game. Despite the fact that many professionals consider this strategy as a synonym of illustration, the truth is that they are not the same thing, although they go side by side. While the Concept Artist explores ideas and communicates them quickly, the illustrator creates finished works.  

However, dedicating to both sectors is a very viable idea for the professional in this area, something that he/she will be able to do after passing this Diploma. Through 150 hours of diverse content, the graduate will be able to deepen in the details of Concept Art, with special emphasis on the most significant characteristics of the techniques of coloring and digital composition. In addition, the syllabus also focuses on the modeling of characters and caricatures, as well as the definition of objects and scenarios for multiple platforms and media.  

All this will be presented in a comfortable and accessible 100% online format, which you will be able to access from the intuitive and cutting-edge virtual campus. In addition to the theoretical content, you will find additional high quality material: detailed videos, research articles, additional reading, etc. In short, everything you need to get the best results from this academic experience in a guaranteed way.   

You will work with the best syllabus in the improvement of important aspects such as digital coloring and the application of textures in visual composition"
