What you'll learn
In this course, we are going to learn how to use photo manipulation techniques in Photoshop to blend a 3D model in a 2D digital painting. We will create a head statue in Poser and bring it to Photoshop to create a fantasy scene. We will also design the fantasy landscape from scratch and use textures to create details in our artwork. By the end of this tutorial, you will be comfortable working with 3D models in Photoshop, using blending modes to create special effects, and implementing adjustment layers in post-production.
