How did I create a 3D poster with a hand-drawn effect?

Sep 2

I have seen many examples of hand-drawn styles in 3D from movies such as “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” and “Wild Robot.” I was impressed and inspired by the art in these movies, so I decided to try creating something myself.

I chose an autumn theme for my 3D poster in that style. I had a couple of stages of creation, and I will share my process.

The first step was modeling the pumpkin. To achieve a realistic look at the shape and details, I researched various photos and referenced my previous illustrations of pumpkins.

Next, I created a composition that combined typography with the main object and added textures to the background.

After that, I textured the pumpkin and added some animation. I aimed to make the pumpkin resemble a hand-drawn illustration. I used Substance Painter to texture it. I used different brushes, layers, and shades of various colors to create a more artistic look.
