Landscape love
Hello! Just a quick one to say thanks for that epic landscape tutorial, using 3D to help set the scene. I don’t use 3D much at all and had never even considered using it in this way. Now, I’ll absolutely be adding it to my work, even if I end up painting over it. That’s come in really useful for me and one that I’ll read over and over.

Rob replies Hi Steve,
Thanks for writing in to let us know. It’s great to hear you’ve been inspired to broaden your tools of choice and I’m so pleased that we have been able to help with that.
Sometimes adding a new tool or technique to your arsenal proves to be a real push, and you’ll start to reach unexpected new heights in your work.
As for 3D in 2D workflows I think it can be a really useful tool. It can serve to aid perspective, or be a really efficient blocking tool for quickly checking compositions.
Really? More AI?
Hi Rob,
AI content has got to stop. It’s been featured in a couple of issues recently and it is clear to me that AI is bad for artists and art. Please don’t put it in your magazine, which is otherwise great. Sue, via email
Rob replies Hi Sue. I can see why some parts of the community view AI as a threat and we try to keep a balance here. What I would suggest is that AI can actually be utilised as a really useful tool, in a broader workflow. To see what I mean, head to page 68 of this issue. Rachel Bradley’s workshop is an excellent demonstration of what I’m talking about.
I hope that eases your mind a little and shows you some of the possibilities, for those that want them.
