Blue Rose Girl – 2D shading in 3D
Here is another exercise done at the Deep Paint workshop. This time, in addition to the watercolor look, I am using a material that adds “hatching” to the shadows, which suggests a sketch-style shading technique. The hatching is done procedurally, which means that it reacts to lighting. I like how it gives the delicate figure a sense of lightness.
Inspiration – a girl with an attitude
Once again, the inspiration for the model came from my illustration depicting a character I created—Blue Rose. She is a girl who (wrongly) considers herself totally different from all other girls and has a rather high opinion of herself.
Below is my first attempt (in 2020) at illustrating Blue Rose using 3D. At the same time, it was my first attempt at character creation.
