Game art can be inspirational and beautiful, but it can also be daunting for anyone wanting break into this industry. So where to start? I spoke to Chenrui ZENG, lead environment artist for AFK Arena, to get some advice (you can read a longer interview with the Lilith Games artist too).
Chenrui ZENG begins by saying, "Consistent practice is the key. After work, I focus on quick sketches, capturing anything from a striking landscape to a fleeting moment. The goal isn’t to create polished pieces for social media validation or pressure myself any more than I need to. Instead, I treat it as a way to reconnect with the joy of drawing".
