Have you ever looked at those amazing matte paintings of cityscapes in movies and games and wondered how it’s done?

Ever since Norman Dawn created the first matte painting way back in 1907, artists have been dazzling our senses and winning awards with their epic creations in classic movies such as:

King Kong, Planet of The Apes, Star Wars, Star Trek, Raiders of The Lost Ark, and Bladerunner.

Of course, these guys were mostly painting their fantasy landscapes by hand on huge pieces of glass. There was no Photoshop, no CGI, and most definitely no ‘undo’ button!

But that’s not to say today’s digital artists have it easy. Sure, the mediums may have changed, but the same rules of composition, proportion, painting, and lighting apply.

And, for a painting to look good, it’s going to need all these.

So now it’s your turn.
