      Description

      When it comes to creating dynamic illustrations for clients such as Nike, Marvel, and Warner Bros., Mike Thompson is an industry expert. This insightful workshop takes you on a complete journey through his creative process, from choosing an exciting concept art (kindly provided by Cameron Davis) through the steps he takes to create a 3D model before tackling a final paint-over ready for client presentation.


      Follow Mike’s complete process: From selecting an existing 2D concept through creating a digital maquette in ZBrush, and discover how he generates BPR renders to then composite those together in Photoshop to create the optimal base for a painting. He handles the final paint-over process using his preferred painting software, Corel Painter.


      The process taught in this workshop details the workflow that Mike uses when creating dynamic package art and poster design for his clients. He thoughtfully details everything from his reference collection process and explains his entire sculpting process during the course of the workshop. For inspiring tips and tricks to add to your sculpting and painting arsenal, this is a must-see workshop.

      • I’ve worked with Mike on various projects throughout the years, and his attention to detail still astonishes me. It’s nice to work with an illustrator that gets genuinely excited about the projects he is working on. His amazing body of work is a testament to this, and his art definitely speaks for itself. I will say, however, that what I like the most about working with Mike is his easy-going personality, professionalism, and willingness to get the job done.
