I'm  2D artist interest to use 3d software to design my illustration simply I want to create rough 3D base then draw and paint over it.
Mainly use for environment design I want to pan the camera on the scence with rough model and simple lighting.
Which software would best suite for this kind of task ?
Right now I'm looking into blender since it is free but the modeling process is seem to very slow compare to my drawing skill
or I have to use sculpting software like zbrush or 3d coat would be faster still confusing which one you will recommened

Naughty dog used sketch up for their environment concepts in uncharted 2 . You can read more here : https://blog.sketchup.com/sketchupdate/art-and-design-uncharted-2

also look at this guy: http://www.sketchupartists.org/tutorials/sketchup-and-advanced-modeling/making-of-dreadnought-part-1-weapons/

he is using sketch up for scifi vehicles and  environments as well.
