3D FOR STYLISED ILLUSTRATION I start to block out things roughly with simple box modelling. I model similar to how I paint, trying to capture the feel of the image with just simple low-poly shapes. We don’t have to spend a lot of time on geo or materials for stylistic images, as most will be overpainted. But I do spend a lot of time on getting the lighting right because this is what 3D can help us with. Finally, I use a Photoshop plugin called AKVIS OilPaint to add some paint stroke effects. I put it on a low opacity layer and then paint on top of that.
