    I have a few questions. 1. Do you use mouse or Drawing Pad? 2. Do you do the rough sketch by hand and scan it into the program, or do you do the rough sketch in Krita as well?

  • @RiaanMarais
    @RiaanMaraisКүн бұрын

    1. I use a graphics tablet, specifically a screen tablet. 2. I mostly do the rough sketch in Krita. I love drawing on paper too and sometimes scan drawings for working on them digitally.

    hello man thank you for this ...well its a simple house to model but modeling it in this way is really time consuming better modeling it normal way then using cam to view it as an isometric?

  • @RiaanMarais
    @RiaanMarais2 ай бұрын

    Yes, this is a rather time-consuming method, but the whole idea is to start from a drawing (or any 2D isometric artwork) and then create a 3D asset from this drawing. I am going to create another tutorial where we start from the 3D asset and make it look more like a hand-drawn asset. Which of course will be a bit quicker and easier to do.

    How will you keep the same colors for further objects?

  • @RiaanMarais
    @RiaanMarais3 ай бұрын

    I did this as a quick demo, but creating a colour pallet is an important part of project planning. The better you plan the easier things will be. My suggestion is, when you choose colours for your first asset, paint the base colours on a separate layer called Pallet.

    Hi there Riaan, hope you're having a great day. Have you considered posting a tutorial about the basics of coloring (which colors to use for which side, how to apply the accents, etc..), and also another tutorial about drawing and coloring isometric characters. It would be fantastic, especially if you could do it in Krita. Keep up the content, honestly awesome to watch :).

    Thank you for the kind words. I duplicated some of the cliffs I had drawn, flipped them and sprinkled them around. Then I filled in the gaps and created some randomness to hide the fact that I duplicated them. Isometric art is ideal when you want to duplicate and flip parts of your drawing.

    Amazing video! Thanks for posting! Let me ask you a question: If you were to create the elements of this scenario for a computer game, such as the buckets, pickaxes, the cave entrance, etc., would you draw them at this size in Photoshop and export them? Or would you create them in a new, larger-sized and 300dpi Photoshop file and later export them at a smaller size using the 'Save for Web' option?

  • @RiaanMarais
    @RiaanMarais5 ай бұрын

    Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it very much. I usually keep it in the same document but on a separate layer. Just make your initial document larger than you intend to export (as an example, make it 2048 X 2048 if your plan is to export it as 1024 x 1024. The lines and detail stay much crisper if you do it this way). The reason I would keep it in the same document is for consistency in style, line width and colour matching. It is easier to have it all together than to try and create it in different files.

  • @iannnavas
    @iannnavas5 ай бұрын

    @@RiaanMarais your answer made so much sense for me! Tks 👏 I drew some assets in other files because the Photoshop file I created was 1080px x 1920px and the lines of the draw was very crisp, as you said! I needed to create it in a different PS file and I sufured a little bit to make the line style very consistent, as you said lol 😆, but in the end the result was ok! But let me ask you another question, please - if one day you need the export the buckets in 3000px x 3000px, for example, you won't be able to do that, right? Because you drew it in a very very very small size, inside that PS file in the video. Am I right?
