Hi, Meet me again on this another tutorial.

Today I gonna show you how to make Character Concept Art using 3D pose material.

I hope this tutorial helps you much so you can improve your technique faster.

Open Your 3D Palette

After you made a new document project, go to:

WINDOWS -> Material -> Material 3D till 3D menu box opened.

CSP already set so many poses actually, if you are not to good on setting the pose at first, I suggest you use what CSP already made. for this tutorial I only use one of CSP pose called (Stand with relaxing) pose. Before I start, I just imagine how the pose will run my character.

IMPORTANT 3D TOOLS

After you choose the pose, all you have to learn is the 3D tools. You must have great skill in setting these tools. once you understand the functionality, you'll understand how to play with 3D Pose in CSP. Well, it's doesn't need so long time to learn, just understand one by one, and the tools already help you much by the way.

Making the Pose

In this tutorial, I just use one of the featured CSP 3D poses. After choosing the pose, I set the pose into the pose I need. I change the 3D Camera Tool setting and change the 3D Selection Tool setting. After the pose already looks good, then I am ready to draw with.

 

TIPS: 3D Material is not a bitmap object, you can only move the 3D layer/s using only OPERATION tools in the tool box. but you can change the 3D into bitmap what ever you want.

Painting Steps

Well, in this tutorial, I am not gonna show you the detail of coloring this concept art, cause I want you to focus on learning how to pose the 3D object. but, I'll explain to you globally how to paint the character concept art.

 

1.) POSE

The pose is the foundation of your character concept art. you will learn so many things about perspective, the anatomy of the object, good angle, etc. 3D POSE in CSP is a powerful tool to help you work much much better.

 

2.) SKETCH

I actually turn the 3D pose into bitmap pixelation object, it makes me easy to draw with. I sketch over the 3D Pose. I follow the anatomy of the 3D object. I don't need to worry about the anatomy at all. and yeah, make the sketch layer separate with 3D pose layer.

 

3.) COLORING

coloring is the 3rd layers on this work document. it's located under sketch layer. I just fill the skecth colors I want. and after I finish coloring the global color, I merge the layer with sketch layer into one layer. well, I just love this technique.

 

4.) COLORING 2

second Coloring is adding the shadow, add more complex colors, to blury the sketch brush stroke and gone to mixed by blending the object.

 

5.) DETAILING

detailing the lovely part in making character concept art. I can change my character into what I want, the accessories of the character, I can add or cut it off.

add some detail part, dramatic light, beautiful blending, the dirty clothes, designing the shirt. I do them all in detailing.

Final Result

Not bad, I love her. I titled this character concept art with "The Messenger". hohohoho.

 

Conclusion:

Well, about 3D Pose issue, I just want you to understand every single tool about the 3D Material. CSP made the tools very easy to understand. you can be professional with this powerful tool that only you found in CSP only, not in another painting apps/software.

 

Wait for my another tutorial, I love to share what I learn about CSP for you all. I hope this tutorial help you much and easy to understand for beginners or pro level.
