Sketchbook: Ruflse
polycounter lvl 8
Hey guys,
I thought it was time to make something to get some general feedback from whoever wants to give some critic or advice about my work. I hope to have the will to update this thread with everything I'll be doing daily, to force me to not post only what I think I'm doing well.
I'm self-teaching full time until April, so good criticism is my best teacher right now.
These are what I consider my best work so far since summer, when I started doing more things:
Some random sketches, all pretty recent:
This one is from two days more or less:
I had some tries on anatomy, which is what I'm trying to get right because I don't have any previous experience with it, but I think I deleted them. This is the only thing I have saved, which is my first try from some months ago, so I don't know if it's a good reference for criticism:
And this is what I've been struggling with for some weeks:
The normal map is full of artifacts and creates black areas. I have made another thread for that (http://polycount.com/discussion/180416/wip-huge-minigun) I'll probably update if I don't manage to get the bake right.
Also I'm playing with some facial expresions right now:
I'll probably try to start drawing more constantly too and post them here.
