There are some questions you can ask yourself before doing the first draft: In my case, I ended up with a collection of 30–50 images that will go in a reference folder.įirst of all, we have to define how our overall composition will look. It is also a good exercise to look for effective value structures and color palettes. This way, I can see how other artists solve a scene in many different ways. In this case, I looked for images of sci-fi laboratories from movies and videogames, along with references of trees, scientists, etc. That is why, before starting, I search the internet, or my own folders, for pictures that might resemble my idea.
Your visual library might be bigger than the average person, yes, but there’s no way we can possibly know how to draw everything. Why is that? One mistake I’ve committed during my years as an artist was to overestimate my capacity to create objects from imagination. Great, we have our idea! Now it’s time to start planning.īefore starting to throw the first lines, I highly encourage to gather all the reference possible. A group of scientists is studying the tree, which is being kept stable by a whole computerized system around it.
I imagine the setting to be a big laboratory, with the tree as the protagonist of the scene. So, now that we’ve got this idea, let’s develop it further. This tree has been studied by the scientific community for decades, protected and nurtured, with the hope of once again populating the Earth with plant life.
A future where all trees have disappeared, with the exception of one. That is how I came up with a concept: The last tree on Earth. How about we create a story around these elements? In my case, I started thinking about research facilities, laboratories, nature, plants, museums, etc. I believe it’s important that artists can nurture their creativity by mixing together things they like. However, when we say, “Let’s create a sci-fi environment,” the idea is still too broad to even start sketching something. Adding final effects (blending modes, filters, etc.)Įvery artistic piece starts with an idea.Using perspective rulers to create depth.This tutorial is split into three main sections: Hello, and welcome! My name is Diego “Novanim” Zúñiga, and today I’ll show you my entire process on how to construct a sci-fi environment in Clip Studio Paint, using the different perspective and painting tools found in the software.
