Hi, my name is Román García Mora, and I'm an illustrator,
3D modeling artist, and biologist. I've specialized in scientific
and naturalist illustration, which has allowed me to combine
my passion for drawing and nature. Over the past few years, I've published projects in media
like "National Geographic," "Quo Magazine," "P.M.," "Bild,"
and "Desperta Ferro." As part of my routine,
I often have to visually represent animals that are extinct or imaginary. I've found that combining 3D modeling
with
digital illustration techniques offers a fast and effective way
to create these fantastic creatures. I carefully craft
every detail in my models, striving to capture
realistic and credible scenes. And now I have the possibility
of doing this on my iPad. In this Domestika course, you'll learn to design and model
a 3D creature on your iPad and transform it
into a realistic illustration. As a final project, you'll design a fantastic,
three-dimensional character in Nomad and finalize the image in Pr
ocreate
with 2D illustration techniques. I'll start by providing
an overview of Nomad's interface. You'll play with its modeling tools
and learn how to import a 3D model. Next, you'll look for references
for your creature and design it in Procreate
using random shapes by applying the mirror design technique. Once you've chosen
the subject for your final project, you'll start the digital modeling phase
using Nomad. You'll start with the most basic shapes and work up to applying
color and texture.
I'll also show you how to explore
various materials, lights, and cameras. We'll create several images of our model to work on in Procreate,
organizing the renders in various layers with different blend modes. Last, you'll add details
such as hair, wrinkles, and textures and export your illustration. By the end of this course,
you'll feel like an artistic explorer, capable of creating
extinct or imaginary beings using a variety of visual references. To follow my steps, you'll need an iPad Pro
wi
th Procreate and Nomad installed and an Apple Pencil. Learn to create impressive
and convincing illustrations of otherworldly creatures. Sign up at Domestika.org Create. Share. Learn.
