Ever started a concept and felt stuck between sketching and final rendering?

This tutorial shows how professional concept artist Pavel Kondrashev uses 3D as a powerful sketching tool — not to complicate the process, but to keep it clear and flexible.

You’ll get a clear look at his professional pipeline — the tools he uses, how he applies them, and the reasoning behind each step. It’s a practical way to understand his process and pick up ideas to refine your own.

Bonus: along with the video tutorial, you’ll receive a set of flat brushes to use in your own painting workflow.

Discover how to make your work bloom — just like sakura in spring — with a fast, flexible workflow that brings together different techniques and tools.
