What you will learn

In this series of tutorials we will be discussing how to integrate our 3D into a 2D environment to create a complete illustration in Photoshop. We will be discussing techniques that will allow integration of 3D renders into a 2D environment. We will also be discussing composition and how to set up a strong illustration. This course will be covering balance, flow, rhythm, and many other techniques that will help us build a solid and balanced piece. Continuing on, we will be discussing layer techniques and how we can use them to support our designs and illustration. Finally, we will cover additional painting and blending techniques to solidify our work.
