I'm 22 is my portfolio I made. I know this is really embarrassing, that it is not appropriate at all for this job. I wanted to try to make things inspired by fortnite, but I hope this tells more of the actual issues I have now whether i know them or not. I don’t have a good enough idea of what I am supposed to do, and at the time of making them I thought that these artworks were supposed to be appropriate with what I was supposed to learn before, I didn’t use any references for them because I thought I was supposed to to know how things looked with a good visual library, but it’s not how it works and I’m not sure when I’m supposed to make things up or take from a reference. In general I’m not sure of where I use a reference and where do I have to not use one. It’s just confusing because I really don’t have anyone in my area that I could talk to about this. I don’t really have social medias and it’s really difficult trying to think of what I’m supposed to learn and how am I and how I’m supposed to use it at the work environment. Is the reference I need supposed to be blender? Can I just download any human body model to draw over, and environments too?Because I can navigate through it to do it.
I want to learn the right way to do this so I can be a reliable and professional person for this job.

It's not at all appropriate then, right

Wrong board to ask. Go to/ic/.

And no, drawing over 3D models is not the "right" way to learn. Go ask /ic/, and they will tell you the same. They will also recommend drawing programs that have built-in 3D models. So you don't need blender, even if you wanted to draw over 3D.

Looks pretty decent, keep it up. /3/ is mostly an chud board occupied by miserable people.

Looks really nice anon, for a beginner you have good ones, concept art nowadays is more homogeneous and boring, I'm an old fag so I appreciate more this type of characters than an ugly black lesbo with half shaved hair and dreads

You are half wrong, learning to photobash it's necessary for concept art.
Go to /ic/ if you want to learn to draw,
And drawing is only a part of being a good concept artists

I have to actually learn this the right way at this point because if I need to be pro I need to use a reference for everything. but it’s really fun in my free time to just make up things to test all of this in my head. I think it would be s good idea to do that for fun in free time.
is a lot of concept art I see for example fallout 4 more from a photograph than I think it is? Like heavily referenced from one then? When it’s said to use a reference for concept art it means to use a photograph for the entire thing? I’m sorry if this is s confusing question. But I’m trying to make mistakes now so that later on I won’t make the same ones from misunderstandings
