My latest tutorial is now also available on Gumroad. I'm doing a deep dive into an environment piece done for an actual client. A real project so to speak. Covering the design brief, research, sketches, etc

Did you ever wish you would see tutorials on the making of actual client work?
We look at client brief, analyse sketches, WIP breakdown, feedback implementation and also jump into the actual 3D scene! Includes never seen before work-in-progress material!
