I just started shading these pipes after finally finishing the sketch when I realized "huh… This low-key looks like cheap ass 3d… "

Idk maybe i should trust the process …

        i’m sure it’ll turn out good in the end, this concept is really cool imo

    it does quite a bit! the perspective and shading are a little more wonky than one would expect, but you captured the depth really well via perspective and overlaps :)

    half-ass recreation of picrel in blender. just a bunch of weirdly arranged pipes

    The painterly thing is also somewhat popular right now. I didn’t add it here because in this software a lot of it is done via post-processing but that would get you closer still to your drawing; you can look into “non-photorealistic rendering” for examples.

      Wait holy shit please make the lightsource come from the bottom and make the rest of the background pipes visible this would help me immensely

        sadly I didn’t model those pipes; those are just your reference image :( generally information is lost with such a projected unless we know the size of things so this may also deviate from what you envisioned

            I loaded your drawing as the background image of the camera, roughly matched the FOV, then just started placing cylinders where they looked like they belong + a touch of poly modeling.

            This is an older tutorial but basically a crappy version of what he does with the railings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb6rSMAooDs

        so sorry :( gotta say though, wacky perspective drawings are so much cooler than 3d crap + you textured them really nicely as well

      Giwi knew how to use blender…

      Drawing the sketch took me like 4 hours cuz I actually needed to draw every line perfectly to fit and be accurate in terms of perspectives😭
