Re: Book Recommendations?
Conceptual books can be really good, rather than tools books. So don't grab a book on "Animating in Maya 2015" - grab books on learning animation principles like weight and overlap etc. Traditional hand-drawn still translates conceptually. For modelling, books on design and anatomy from a drawing or sculpting angle can… -
Re: Braided river, streams ?
thanks for your opinion poopipe. So far looks like centuries old technique painting it by hand by long flat sabel brush by very oily paint with random rotation, then using another puffy sable brush to subtly smear the paint tangential to original stroke makes a best illusion for height image. Too bad there is nothing like… -
Sketches and stuff
After quite a long hiatus from doing art i'm starting to get back into it. With a vengence. I've been trying to sketch every day. Trying to draw stuff from imagination as well as what I see. I'm also taking a figure drawing class that starts in a week or so. Hopefully i'll impove quite allot there as well. I know i have… -
Re: (WIP) Crashed Spaceship and Dead Astronaut
It could help to draw some thumbnails to explore composition ideas, before getting into the 3D blockout. Thumbnails are small quick sketches, kept small so you don't add too much detail, and can just work on multiple sketches, to test different composition ideas. More about that… -
Re: Game rendering definitions on the wiki
Great idea Eric! This is tough stuff to explain but hopefully collectively we can get some good info here. There is a lot of misunderstanding in this area and it would be great to have a resource like this to share with my fellow artists at work. Maybe i'm off-base here, I don't know how we run the polycount wiki, but I… -
Re: Sketchbook: JengyMonster
@AimBiz thank you for the link! That place looks awesome, I'm definitely gunna check it out. I do agree that drawing everyday is good. I've been doing just a drawing a day for a few months now and even at that low level of production I feel improvement. I would agree that getting a design-oriented skill set would be… -
Re: Struggling with Head Anatomy – Need Feedback to Break the Cycle
Appreciate the feedback! I’ll keep these points in mind. The ones with direct comparisons are reference studies, while the ones without are general exercises. The only variant step is in the second image; the rest are individual exercises. I'll make sure to label things better next time. I’ve always avoided starting fresh… -
Artist seeking Partner
I am an artist/writer who has recently developed some pretty major carpal tunnel in my hands and can only draw for short periods at a time. I have a project outlined, concepted, and partially written, but I need help with the art. I'm looking for a draftsman to collaborate with. These are some of the concept pages I've… -
Critique for my first portfolio piece

So I would love to get some critique and feedback before uplaoding it. Thank you for your time. The horse drawing on the shield was… -
Professor Spaceman
I drew this guy up today with plans to model him: Here's the stream It was mostly a rough idea, tonight (Jan 2nd) at around 8pm central time I'll stream stage 2 of concepting. I'll draw out orthos and possibly do some simple blockouts in 3d to make sure the design is solid before modeling. Barring any disasters I'll stream…
