KEYFRAME CONCEPT ART

My most in depth tutorial so far with a full workflow from ideation to final image with just over 24hrs of content, all in real time and fully voiced.

Who is tutorial for? 

It's aimed at beginner and intermediate artists looking to broaden their toolset combining 2D and 3D techniques.  I cover a beginner intro into 3DCoat in this course. Most of the 3D assets are created in 3DCoat (30 Day free trial available). I recommend that you have some foundational knowledge in Blender.

In this tutorial, I will show you how I translate my ideas using 2D and 3D tools in a beginner friendly way.  I will also discuss black and white sketching, composition, design, breakout studies, colour sketches, identifying 3D assets,  3DCoat intro, organic/architectural sculpting, preparing assets in Blender ,texturing, lighting, rendering, and setting up a strong base to paint over in Photoshop. 3 demos painting over 3D, photobashing and stylised painting. 

I've gone about this whole tutorial in a way that it's all the key areas broken down into 105 videos spanning over 24 hours in total. 

I've included a small handful of videos (8) from my previous course (Create an Environment) in this one; these cover design theory and intro to some blender addons.
