3D can be very technical and feel sterile. Let’s make the process more intuitive, creative and fun! Learn how to sketch architecture and environments directly in realtime in 3D with Blender.

We have all been there. You have a great design but somehow the client hasn’t chosen yours. Sometimes it's just about how you present it!

Felt like doing something simpler and more graphic. I also made a roughly 1 hour video breakdown of this image including thoughts process, inspiration, blockout and execution for my membership. Blender file also included!

Tutorial Tuesday! Let's look at the masters of cinema to turn our clean, realistic 3D set into a cinematic one in Blender. We take it apart, destroy it, light it and color grade the hell out of it!

Is it really already February? I feel like the year barely begun and it is already almost 10% over. Maybe already time to think how those New Years resolutions are shaping up. Lost any weight yet? How about sketching every single day?

Here's something peculiar. Something I don't think I ever really had in this form before, at least in art. The title says it all I guess. How to start, or what? Maybe even why? It's been bothering me for a while now.

It's 2026 and time to clean up your portfolio. I shared a little article with my members on what made me do it and how I went about it.
