Eytan Zana – Advanced Sketching with 3D

Learn how Eytan Zana combines a 3D foundation with digital painting to develop environment concept art. Across six videos, he creates four different sketches from bases built in 3DCoat, using different tools and approaches for each image. The workflow connects asset creation, camera exploration, composition and Photoshop paintovers to bring an environment idea to life.

A 30-minute introduction to 3DCoat helps artists unfamiliar with the software follow the demonstrations. The creator also notes that ZBrush or Blender can be used as alternatives for the 3D work.
