In this class, students will learn how to use FREE 3D models on Clip Studio Paint to use as reference material for drawing.
This class is for you if:
- you spend ages trying to find good reference photos you can study and draw
- you need more flexibility in the photos to supplement the reference photos you did find
- you feel limited using your camera's self timer to capture poses you want to draw
- your mirror has had enough of your "action poses"
- you do not have a studio or lighting equipment to capture light and shadows in your drawing
- you can't find people willing to pose for you
- you want to learn the very basic proportions of how to draw the human body but don't know where to start
- you need a mannequin/doll you can pose, reuse, and then change as you need
- you can't go to live model art classes or you can't afford them
This class is for beginners, aspiring cartoonists, and new webcomic creators who want to learn about incorporating 3D models into their workflow whether as reference images, using them as a base for concepts, or just to practice.
IMPORTANT:
This is NOT a 3d modeling class *technically*, this class uses assets that are all freely available on the Clip Studio website. This class will use the 3D layer options available in CSP. This will not teach you how to create anatomically correct models from scratch. At the end of the class you will become comfortable using 3D models as references for your character illustrations.
This is geared towards beginners who:
- are already familiar with the very basics of CSP (you can find my intro to CSP class here)
- want to discover CSP’s 3D model and reference capabilities
- want to improve their drawings with believable poses and proportions
- are stuck because of the availability of reference pictures to suit their own specific ideas
This will be a collaborative class that works well with students who want feedback, and who can also provide feedback to fellow classmates.
