Anybody know of any sites or books that explain how cool concept art is done. Like in star wars they draw those great paintings - i want to know what materials they use. Also some drawings are inked and wanting to know what they use as well.

A google search for "concept art" turned up this:

And that's just on page 1.

These are two pretty cool books:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/081184515X/104-3618939-2780713?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance

They're not about concept art per se, but include discussions and examples of it.
