I’m doing a hand drawn, hand painted style, but I’m finding the 3D useful for playing with compositions, camera angles and lighting even though it looks like a digital lego set to begin with. The final Illustrations will look very different from the 3D mock ups. I’ve been making 3D mock ups using Blender for a fantasy story project I’m working on for Stone Baked Games. Manga artist Inio Asano creates real-time backdrops in Unreal Engine Some 2D artists are also using the Unreal Engine and 3D assets for world building. Learning and using 3D software is very accessible nowadays with free software such as Blender and Sketchup and the ever increasing amount of tutorials on YouTube. I touched upon this subject in an article I wrote last year but I wanted to follow it up with something a bit more specific to 2D artists using traditional drawing and painting skills and describe how 3D software can be a useful tool in creating artwork that is still 2D as an end product. I’ll keep it basic because 3D is a rabbit hole you can quite happily fall into and lose yourself in if you are not careful. This article will describe some ways that primarily 2D Illustrators, comic and manga artists, concept artists and digital painters use 3D software in their workflow and give some examples of 2D artists utilising 3D technology in their creative process.
