Producing Concept art for a game or any sort of media is not as simple and easy as doodling on to a piece of paper and sending it in, there's a lot more effort and research that goes into concept work. When doing concept art the team or yourself if you're working on a project only, has a vision of how they want a character or an environment looks so they will give you details and tell you want they want ultimately but still leaving room for the artist to add their touch. For environments and characters, you'll need a mood board, a mood board is a collection of reference picture on what you want the art to look like including color, if you wanted to draw a old building you would want to collect images of old buildings to have as references. While sketching out your concept art, you should make multiple sketches with different designs or details because your first sketch won't always impress the team or even yourself. Once you've gotten an idea of what you're drawing, you're ready for your final concept art, where you draw your character or building in different angles being front, back, and the sides, the drawing should be fully colored and doesn't have to look perfect but that doesn't mean get lazy, put enough effort to show you care but you don't have to over do it. Now you know concept art isn't as simple as one would imagine, it's still a job and an every important at that but that shouldn't discourage you from trying to be a concept art, you should just be prepared to take it seriously
