Concept artists can use both traditional mediums like paints and pencils as well as digital tools like Photoshop and Corel Painter. While digital tools have become more prevalent in recent years, proficiency with traditional media is important for effectively using painting software which aims to simulate real-world blending of colors. Popular software options include Adobe Photoshop, the industry standard image editing program, and Corel Painter which specifically aims to replicate traditional painting and drawing media.

the use of digital technology.

number of traditional mediums such as
oil paints, acrylic paints, markers, pencils,
etc. were used.

packages are programmed to simulate the
blending of color in the same way paint
would blend on a canvas; proficiency with
traditional media is often paramount to a
concept artist's ability to use painting
software.
