In this episode of our "Digital Art Renaissance" series, Concept Artist Omar Siddiqui shares the story of how he was discovered for his first commissioned artworks through social media. Omar guides us on his journey from his first posts 10+ years ago to how he changed his art process, and what it took to get his skills to the next level.  Throughout this episode, Omar discusses not just the value of posting on social media which led to his first paid commissions, but also some of the ways to "get over yourself" and simply start sharing. We also discuss the huge transition happening between 2D and 3D and what that might mean for future artists.  On top of that, Omar shares some incredibly helpful tips (things that worked for him) on adapting to change. With so many new tools and trends coming out all the time, it can be overwhelming for digital artists to have to constantly learn something new. In fact, Omar had to completely change his art style after 11 years just so he could have relevant industry skills. And beyond developing new art skills, Omar shares why sometimes it can be easy to feel stuck when learning new technology, then explains why goal setting can help you overcome those challenges.  Omar Siddiqui is an Environment Concept Artist with experience in 2D and 3D concepts.
