Thumbnail concept art - using Procreate, Nomad Sculpt & Magma

Thumbnail concept art - using Procreate, Nomad Sculpt & Magma

Concept thumbnailing is a valuable skill employed in the art world, particularly in the early stages of the creative process. It involves creating quick, small-scale sketches or drawings called thumbnails to explore and develop ideas for a larger artwork or project. These thumbnails serve as visual brainstorming tools, allowing artists to experiment with various compositions, subject matter, and design elements before committing to a final concept. This week we are taking a look at how I use thumbnailing in my work and how I use different programs to do it. We will start with Procreate, then Magma and finish in in Nomad Sculpt.

The primary purpose of concept thumbnailing is to explore different possibilities & refine initial ideas. By creating a range of thumbnails, artists can visually test various arrangements, perspectives, proportions, and visual elements to determine what works best for their intended artistic expression. Thumbnails can also be used to experiment with different color schemes, lighting effects, and mood, helping artists develop a more comprehensive understanding of how these elements contribute to the overall impact of their artwork.

Moreover, thumbnails serve as a communication tool, allowing artists to share and discuss their ideas with clients, collaborators, or instructors. These small sketches can effectively convey the core concept and artistic direction, facilitating constructive feedback and collaboration throughout the creative process. Thumbnails are often presented as a series, demonstrating the progression of ideas and the decision-making behind the final concept.

Thumbnailing encourages experimentation, enhances the decision-making process, & ultimately contributes to the development of strong and compelling artworks.
