What you'll learn

In this SketchUp tutorial, we'll learn about efficient working methods and important factors to consider when creating concept illustrations for creative agencies, particularly pitch work. We'll start by using SketchUp to create an easily-editable model that will show off every angle of our design. We'll then use SketchUp's scenes and shadow settings to create a dynamic setting, from which we'll paint a dramatic illustration in Photoshop to sell our idea to the creative agency's client. Software required: SketchUp 2013, Photoshop CS5.
