Hi alexbendo, I’m happy you like the city street. I’ve shown a few techniques on how to achieve such details in a previous video, but I might indeed do a full blown tutorial someday in the future. It’s based on a kitbashing method with freestyle line render applied. I’ll see if I can make a more in-depth video one day. Wishing you all the best on your creative journey. 😉👍🏻
Nice short cut of streets and buildings what a life saver....I used to model the hole building and streets which some angels I never even use on camera when animating and drawing oh my gosh...Thanks you very much for the fastest tip...
I just recently added Blender as a tool for my drawings. Avoided the program because it's such a steep learning curve, but with a recent art piece I did, it makes things so much easier. This is a great look into it's potential! I'll be incorporating it more and more as I learn the program.
I’m happy to hear that you’re finding your way around Blender. It has indeed crazy potential and keeps on getting better and better with each release. And all of this for free! We live in wonderful times. 😉👍🏻 Wishing you all the best on your creative journey.
For a long time I was intimidated by Blender. Then one day I realized, "I don't have to master Blender in order to enjoy it or find it useful. I just need to learn how to do one thing, and the skills necessary to do that... then just keep iterating that process, and enjoy the journey."
Thanks Paul. I’ve really come to enjoy asset libraries. They take a long time to create, but once you have the assets, they become very valuable. I’m definitely planning on expanding my libraries over time as it just speeds up my workflow so much!
@@artofdavidarroyo Do you know if there is a place where I can download other people's libraries. And if I want to search for myself what keywords should I look for?
Hi mikamanp00p9, sorry for not answering earlier. I’ve been quite busy lately. There are plenty of really great kitbash libraries online, however they rarely come for free. You can easily find plenty of free 3D objects and even scenes on websites such as sketchfab.com. There are also lots of paid models there, but they have a very nice 3D library to look at and even learn from. As for free characters and character animations, you can have a look at Adobe’s Mixamo content. You can find it at www.mixamo.com. Then there is the website kitbash3d.com that specializes in professional kitbash libraries. They look amazing, but also have a high price tag. There are also some free ones here, but not many. As a conclusion… specialized libraries with additional freestyle line render setups don’t exist as far as I’m aware. I’ve just made some for myself and never put them up for sale as they’re too specific to the needs of my projects. I don’t think many people would benefit from them because of that. Anyways, I hope this helps. I know the info came in a bit late and you might have done your own research by now, but I still wanted to reply and help if possible. I’m gonna wish you all the best in your creative journey. 😉👊🏻
Thanks Jay Kay, I’m happy you like the content and I’m happy to be back even though I’m still swamped with work at the moment so future videos might come in slowly. We’ll see... I’ll do my best nonetheless. 😉👊🏻
When I can't get my pages to work, I use blender on them. The one on my kitchen counter. 🙂 Just kidding. I only rage when gaming. 😤 Great informative vid. Kudos!
can you do a tutorial to make those assets for the windows, sidewalk, street, wall, front door, etc, just for a basic setup? and I assume you made your own basic meshes?
Hi Shakaama, I will see if I can somehow fit it in into my busy schedule. I’m currently finishing up a tutorial series on the basics of the Unreal Engine and I’m planning on taking a well deserved break after that. Maybe somewhere after my short break, I might look into that. And yes... all these meshes were made by me. I like to create my own asset libraries that work well with my production cycle within comics. 😉
I'm hoping to create my comic using last method. I want to color in Blender so I only have to finetune the pencil work and add the lettering. Thanks for the nice video.
Thanks Nerd TALK Van Williams. I’m happy you like the videos. I’m always so busy though that my webcomics are an eternity in the making. With three kids at home and lots of students each year, my plate tends to be quite full teaching all of this stuff with no time left to work on my own projects. I’m hoping to be able to free up some of my time in the near future to dedicate more attention to my webcomics as I’m very proud of how they’re turning out. 🙂
You’re very welcome Angelo. I’m happy you like them and I will most definitely keep on posting on this channel whenever my busy schedule allows it. 😉👍🏻
I’m still trying to figure out which procedure I like the most. Blender and 3D provide great flexibility and can potentially speed up production quite a lot, but other times it’s nice to just not have to deal with any technical stuff and just draw or paint. I’m a big fan of both worlds. 😉👍🏻
Hi Dio Brando, blender does have the ability to connect to and import asset libraries. In some cases you’ll find the right one for you, but in other cases you’ll have to either build the items yourself or buy them from existing asset packs. Also don’t forget that the items that I’ve showcased here are all ready to be used with freestyle line renders as I’ve optimized them for that reason. This is something you won’t find online or within any blender library that I know so far. Anyone can turn on freestyle line renders and change the settings on any mesh, but what I’ve done goes a step further because I’ve created my geometry to serve the line art functionality (something that’s not advised when traditionally modeling) Take the example of how I’ve done the bricks on the wall assets… traditionally you’d use a texture for that instead. I hope that helps and I wish you all the best on your creative journey. 🙂👍🏻
Thanks… I appreciate the love. Maybe have a look at some of the other videos on my channel and see if they can convince you otherwise. Also, the right spelling of the word bad is with a letter D instead of a T 😉. Wishing you all the best in life buddy. 👍🏻
@@J.okamii thanks buddy. I’m pretty happy with them myself as well. Like with everyone, there’s always room for improvement… but I know that I’m definitely going in the right direction. 🙂
love how your city street is streamlined for illustration. It be awesome to see a tutorial just on creating cityscapes.

That sounds indeed like a very solid plan buddy. I did the exact same and have been enjoying blender ever since. 😉👍🏻
I love your set library! It's so simple and versatile.

@@artofdavidarroyo thank you very much for responding, and if it helps you were quicker then any response I get from my family 😂
@mikamanp00p9 my pleasure buddy. My best wishes to you and your lovely family 😉👊🏻
You are doing great work. Thank you so much for these breakdown videos.
Thank you Locker666332, I’m happy you enjoy the videos. Wishing you all the best on your creative journey. 😉👊🏻
I love it!! Thanks!!

You can use toon shader
Been waiting for this for a while. Good to have you back :)

You’re welcome Gilbert. I really enjoy that last method a lot as well and am leaning towards it for future comic book projects. 🙂
Dude I love these videos! I’m going to check out your web comic(s) now

a whole new approach! do you mind me asking how you get the glow-y look? such as on the figure at 15:10
Hi Mazzgie, that glowing effect was achieved by attaching an emissive material to the mesh. 🙂
Thanks, keep making vid tuts ..
You’re very welcome Angelo. I’m happy you like them and I will most definitely keep on posting on this channel whenever my busy schedule allows it. 😉👍🏻
Nice! Which one did you end up choosing for the comic?

You’re welcome 😉👍🏻
These assets, is there a free warehouse in blender where users can use. Or a person who wants to make comics have to create every object in Blender?
Hi Dio Brando, blender does have the ability to connect to and import asset libraries. In some cases you’ll find the right one for you, but in other cases you’ll have to either build the items yourself or buy them from existing asset packs. Also don’t forget that the items that I’ve showcased here are all ready to be used with freestyle line renders as I’ve optimized them for that reason.

@@artofdavidarroyo where do you go to find the assets,free warehouse?
you are a great 3D artist but you are too bat at drawing 😂

@@artofdavidarroyo bat - below average talent . 😂😂😂
Thanks for educating me. Got a portfolio yourself? I would love to see how amazingly good you must be. I’m sure you’re Godsend. 😉
@@artofdavidarroyo the drawing look pretty damn good to me
@@J.okamii thanks buddy. I’m pretty happy with them myself as well. Like with everyone, there’s always room for improvement… but I know that I’m definitely going in the right direction. 🙂
