This Awesome Pastel-Style 3D Portrait Was Made Using Blender

3D Modeler and Animator known only as crzyzhaa, who earlier this month shared a detailed tutorial on setting up a Ghibli-style NPR waterfall in Blender, strikes again with a brand-new masterpiece made using the world's most popular open-source 3D software.

This time, the creator presented a fantastic pastel-style character portrait that looks 2D when static but is revealed to be fully 3D when in motion. According to crzyzhaa, they developed their own methods for stylized, hand-painted-like portraits over the years, suggesting that the featured artwork was set up using custom techniques rather than the common approaches showcased in myriads of tutorials.

Going forward, the creator plans to reveal their secrets by sharing a new tutorial covering the creation of pastel-like portraits with Blender, and as such, we highly encourage you to follow crzyzhaa on YouTube and Instagram so as not to miss the tutorial's release.

And here are some of the creator's earlier guides:
