Step by Step: Cabeza Patata

We’re happy to bring you the next installment of our every so often series, Step by Step, this time from the amazing duo Cabeza Patata!

Cabeza Patata is comprised of illustrator and craftswoman Katie Menzies and 3D artist and animator Abel Reverter. Together, they have a wonderfully unique style that mixes many of the best aspects found in the world of stylized illustration with the latest and greatest looks from the realm of Cinema 4D.

The two recordings in this post show their process from initial sketch and 2D design (above) all the way through their 3D process and final render (below).

Enjoy!
