Students of Illustration were treated to an exclusive sharing and workshop session by Jan Urschel, a concept designer and illustrator from Germany who now works and resides in Singapore. Jan, who has been a concept designer for close to a decade, and an illustrator for even longer, shared his involvement in titles such as the upcoming Captain Marvel, Ghost in the Shell, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, and Halo Wars 2. He spoke about the job scope and skills of a concept designer, pros and cons of an in-house employee versus a freelancer, and shared practical tips as well as real industry advice. A one-day workshop was held the next day, where students immersed themselves in a hands-on experience designing environment concept art under Jan’s guidance.
