I am really excited to share this Environment Concept Tutorial! This tutorial covers my whole concept art workflow in Blender and Photoshop.

There is over 3 and a half hours of recordings all fully voiced over as I explain my process. I have included sections where I go over the fundamentals and basics of how I use blender to navigate, texture and build out my designs as well as some of my most used addons.

Chapters:
-Introduction
1). References
2). Sketching
3). 3D: Kitbash Set Modeling in Blender
4). 3D: Environment Block out in Blender
5). Paintover: Image 1
6). Paintover: Image 2
7). Blender Tips, Addons and Rendering

Programs Used: Blender, Photoshop

If you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced artist who is looking to expand upon their 3D workflow with Blender and Photoshop, I believe that this tutorial can help with that. Thanks for stopping by!
