Recently, I’ve been experimenting with my creative process, trying to incorporate CG sculpting tools with painting techniques. So in this workshop I’ll show you how I use Adobe’s VR program Medium with Blender and Photoshop. I’ll go from a rough sketch to the final painting, while considering composition, values, colour and light.

I think there are different ways to do a piece like this – probably easier methods – so I’m sorry in case things gets a little ‘messy’. Hopefully you’ll learn something that you can apply to your own art approach.

Starting with Photoshop, I’ll create a file and start simply with just a drawing. Next, I’ll clean up the sketch and bring that into Medium for a rough sculpture. After that I’ll render my base in Blender, and experiment with perspective and light. For the last part I’ll bring everything back into Photoshop and paint on top, applying adjustment layers and incorporating what I did in the previous steps.
