Harvester Scene Paintover
Lesson 6 of 10 Galactic Concept Art
In this lesson, you will use your 3D rendered spacecraft as a base to create a finished keyframe paintover.
Initial Paintover Homework
Set up your renders in Photoshop and then spend some time doing an initial paintover. You only need to go far enough with this stage to add in all the main ideas. From there, take a break before moving onto the next part of the lesson.
Check-In Homework
Now that you have an initial paintover, take some time to analyze your progress so far, and make notes about what needs to change. From there, begin implementing any changes you feel are needed for your image, and add in further details. Don’t worry about fully finishing the image though — there will be one more assignment before the end of this lesson.
Finishing Homework
Bring your keyframe to a finished state. Add in any final details, 3D renders, textures, post-processing effects, or whatever else is needed for your image to look its best.
Student Homework
Lesson 1
Keyframe Sketches
