This is the second episode of Concept Art Class; a tutorial series that breaks down how I illustrate the items and characters for an upcoming card game. What makes this tutorial series different? I include your designs and all of my mistakes and exactly how I fix them.

***HERE'S HOW IT WORKS***
Each video goes through 3 parts:
1. (Art Critiques) I look at all your sketches you posted using the hashtag from the previous video and show them off at the beginning of this video. Your art skills do not matter for this. Pros and noobs are equal, we're just celebrating ideas.
2. (Lesson) I show you exactly how I create the final illustrations from beginning to end in excruciating detail.
3. (Homework) I reveal the next set of cards for you to design and post and the hashtag that goes with them as well.
By the end, we will have a full set of cards we all worked on together to enjoy!

I put an enormous amount of time and love into this and thanks to everyone who sent in sketches for the weapons. I'm glad to hear you had fun designing the weapons! I saw them all and I had fun going through them all for this :) Hope you like the armor too!
