Boost the realism and dynamic qualities of your 2D art using free, easy-to-learn 3D software! This class is all about using Blender -- a totally free 3D modeling program for PC and Mac -- to plan scenes and create props for 2D illustrations. We will learn a variety of introductory 3D modeling and lighting techniques, as well as other skills like posing 3D mannequins to stage characters in your scene. We will also learn how to use your 3D scenes to create final 2D illustrations, using digital painting and photo-overlay techniques.
