Diorama, Miniature, Model and Handmade Hobby Products Production Techniques
Diorama is the three-dimensional modeling of a real or fictional event, moment or story with the help of light plays. It can also be defined as a large three-dimensional painting made for exhibition purposes.
I have been sharing all the techniques I have learned and applied about Diorama and Miniature art since 2017. By using and improving these techniques, you will be able to make Miniatures, Models, Dioramas and Handmade Hobby Accessories.
I will explain how to apply different materials with each other and enable you to come up with unique projects.
With or without dexterity, you will create magnificent works by applying the techniques I have shown in my course.
Who Is The Training Set For?
Training set; I have prepared it for both beginners, intermediate level and professional artists. I have shared many techniques to be used in miniature art together in order to appeal to a very wide audience. A comprehensive training set that contains a lot of detailed information on diorama, miniatures, models and handmade accessories!
