“We would like to teach you the know-how to achieve both efficiency and quality by using the free 3D tool Blender.”
Was it difficult for you to spend more time and energy than before to improve the level of perfection as you became more specialized in illustration?
If you previously had to draw rough sketches repeatedly to get a composition you liked, now you can work faster and more efficiently by calculating light and contrast according to the light source and manipulating the movement of the human body model with the free 3D tool Blender!
Everything from the know-how to color densely like an oil painting, how to form an efficient work cycle, and even to create your own 3D human body modeling that matches your unique deformation and drawing style!
Learn how to use Kelly's Blender and Photoshop now at Coloso, where you can not only strengthen the basics of the human body by looking at pictures in three dimensions, but also take care of both perfection and efficiency.

Why Take This Class?
Have you felt limited in your drawing work due to your lack of basic understanding of the human body structure and the increasing number of simple repetitive tasks?
In this class, you will use the free 3D tool Blender to look at the character's human body structure from various angles and understand it three-dimensionally.
Create an easier atmosphere by using light and angles automatically calculated by Blender and modeling props and backgrounds!
Kelly, an illustrator who has participated in many famous game projects, tells you all based on 9 years of practical experience.

Kelly
Hello, this is illustrator Kelly.
I participated in various projects such as Nexon's <Wild Land: Durango>, Smilegate's VR project, and Bluehole MMORPG project.
Every artist wants their paintings to be remembered, and they feel a sense of accomplishment when people relate to what they express.
Through this course, you can expand your options in your work process using 3D tools. I will also learn what I like and what I am good at, and develop the strength to draw consistently.
In particular, in art work that consumes a lot of energy, we will teach you specifically how to improve the quality of the results and use time and energy efficiently.

Class Highlights
Drawing illustrations combining 2D and 3D
Expand your drawing world beyond 2D to 3D through Blender. I explore the characteristics and individuality of my illustrations by shortening simple work times and broadening my range of skills to strengthen my illustration creation cycle.
Understanding three-dimensional basics and modeling my drawing style
Through 3D character work, you will study the character's skeleton and muscles in a more three-dimensional way and at the same time strengthen your basic skills. Also, when drawing a picture, you can save time and energy by referring to the desired angle and light by modeling your drawing style or by compositing.
High-density expression with brushes and textures
By using material brushes and photo textures together to create an atmosphere with a preliminary color, you can firm up the tones and organize the angular silhouettes to achieve high-density coloring with delicate yet detailed details like an oil painting.

You'll Learn
-
How to use Blender for 2D artistsFor 2D artists who are unfamiliar with 3D tools, we will learn the basics of Blender, including how to install Blender, basic operation methods, shortcut keys, and engine explanation, and then teach you the basic character work cycle. -
How to distinguish between what I like and what I am good atAfter collecting data, find out what style you want and at the same time distinguish between what you consciously want to do and what you are good at unconsciously. After that, I study my own deformation and work cycle accordingly. -
Create my own picture modelingLearn the process of creating a three-dimensional character and examining it from various angles to establish your own style. Afterwards, I will understand the structure of the human body three-dimensionally, take care of the basics, and construct modeling that suits my drawing style that will be useful in the future.
-
Working with Photoshop on a 3D basisLearn the process of composing a 3D render shot that sets the ratio of drawing and 3D used, production method, pose, composition, lighting, etc., and drawing on it. -
Draw densely like an oil paintingLearn how to build density, such as coloring layer structure and solid coloring using base colors, organizing silhouettes, and adding emphasis points, and upload the details of the face, hair, clothing, and skin of the created character. -
Create a high-quality painting in a short period of timeBy using Blender and Photoshop, you can create high-quality drawings in a short period of time, increasing the efficiency desired by those who make a living in drawing as well as those who want to learn drawing in depth.
