You can take the traditional way and learn how to paint in this style without needing external references. Or, you can make a 3d render of the model in Blender or any 3d rendering program, create light sources and tweek the graphics to meet your desired visual appeal (it's much easier to have two opposing light sources as shown in this video rather than mixing colors up). Once you got an actual 3d render of how the product will turn out to be, just recreate it in real life and paint carefully. It's always easier when you have it all all planned out before execution. Id recommend you look up videos on how to create 3d anime render style, they are pretty similar to the product shown above.

@turtlefreezer

it's mostly about the brush and paint he is using if the brush can make straight and clean lines ( and if you have a stable hand) and if you have the correct colors and have +5 -10 years of experience in drawing and painting then you can do it too oh and also if you know how 3d works .

Genuinely, this figure is the single best example of good shading techniques I have ever seen. I will always be using this figure now as a demonstration for when I teach painting to hobby newbies.

I love that the screen left leg is painted with darker colours to the other leg because it's angled more inwards casting a darker shadow. This is some next level illusion-ism.

The outlines are very well done. But no one is talking about the paint simulating the lights diffusing onto the figure on both sides. I don't think I've ever seen that done before. That's just insane.

I assume the effect only really works like this with all-round soft lighting so it's evenly lit, to avoid *actual* shadows and bright spots. It wouldn't look like this, if it's just standing on a shelf.

Its crazy how he managed to make it so the ambient light doesnt affect the colors of the figure?? I think that's mainly ehat makes this looks so surreal. Awesome work he did there.

If this is real - and I'm not convinced it is - then it only works under very specific lighting conditions. Because none of the raised sections of the model are casting shadows on adjacent surfaces (like her backpack gas tanks or the shoes sticking out of the clothes pile). I've seen similar techniques before and they absolutely can look great from certain angles, but you can't do it from a full 360 degree rotation because the individual pieces of the model cast their own shadows and distort the color effect of the adjacent surfaces. What would convince me it's real is if they showed an angle where _all_ of the color shading stops looking right as the model turns. edit- looking at the making-of youtube videos, it's clear that something has been digitally altered for the twitter posts. You can immediately spot all the shadows and everything that the lighting should be making evident in the final production. And it still looks great! But there's no uncanny valley effect when it gets shifted around to provide access to the paintbrush.

Amazing effect and fair amount of labor. I hope this inspires some figure lines to adopt the paint style on future figures, so we don’t have to do the 3 hours a day for a few months.

i was expecting the illusion to only work from one angle. the fact that it still looks good when u rotate it is blowing my mind rn, that’s a work of art right there
