VISUAL STORYTELLING

Creating Stories Through Art

Do your paintings lack intrigue or a compelling story? 

Would you like to take your art to the next level and create amazing visual stories that capture your audience?

To learn how to build an immersive world with your art?

It’s time for you to learn how to create awesome stories with your art, from sketches to finished paintings!

I’m Adrian Virlan, and I’m a concept artist for games, movies, board games – you name it! I’ve been doing this stuff for years and years and I love every second of being a professional artist.

I’ve done a lot of things wrong when it comes to creating awesome art, but also a lot of things right! Here are a couple of my older concepts:

One of the main things I found was this: what attracted people to my art wasn’t the details, the colors or anything like that – it was the STORIES

Storytelling is one of the oldest and most powerful art forms in human culture. Visual artists have an incredible power to communicate complex and compelling narratives with a single still image.

As a visual artist, you are probably struggling to get your work noticed, to keep people engaged and interested in your artwork beyond a simple “like” on a post.

Perhaps you’ve taken a shot at landscape painting or even character art, but you feel that something is still missing – something that gives it depth, and substance.

But what exactly could that be? Many artists don’t know exactly how to do this.

That’s where creating stories comes in. Every artist should learn how to tell stories with their art! 

A story is the soul of your artwork. It enhances the entire experience for yourself and your audience, connecting them to the realm you conjured through your art. 

To put it simply – it gives your art life.

That’s why I put together this course for you to really take your storytelling skills to the next level, and learn a bunch of useful painting techniques in the process. 

We’ll be creating a bunch of great paintings from scratch, and I’ll be your guide through this unique digital painting course!
