Concept Art
In film, gaming, and comic books, concept art is the development of characters and their world. Pre-production art can also include storyboarding, special effects makeup, and props.
Character development is an important component in animated films, comic books, and other sequential arts. Character designers work closely with the director or editors and writers to bring characters to life. Below are sample character drawings by Erick Adrian Marquez.

Storyboards are created to pre-visualize a film, animation, or other sequential media. By telling the story visually, storyboarding helps to orgazine a story before it is filmed.
