After a year of inactivity, my new model is inspired by the wingman revolver from the game apex legends. While working on it, I used a few pipelines (fusion 360 + zbrush, zbrush live boolen, 3ds max smoothing groups + chamfer and traditional subdiv workflow) for practice. 14815 polys 2 4к textures sets…
Pretty much any book on art drawing and design could be useful and directly translated into 3d Check this 2 for something more specific : The Practice and Science of Drawing by Harold Speed Dynamic symmetry by Jay Hambidge
Solid advice all around. Very appreciative. Maybe not as good as using a secret time capsule to practice art 24/7. But the three of you definitely give some solid points to work on for time management.
I'm just finishing up the CG Workshops "Become a Better Artist" course which is all about digital 2d art, so I'll probably be looking for a good incentive to practice what I've learned.
low poly'd and unwrapped some more bits (after consulting the wiki for best practices regarding normal smoothness and UVs for baking) and brought them into Subtsance Painter. Up next the hill, trees and the holo ads.

Paint it over and over a few hundred times. It'll never be done, only a little better each time. The number of intervals of painting for improvement is different for everyone so keep practicing, reading the tutorials, and so on.
Nice work already Pyr, just watch your height, yours is quit a lot taller than the concepts. Gonna' be attempting the pirate lamppost tonight, I really need the practice in hand painting textures.
Well you should at least try and get the forms to be accurate. At least for practice and showcase purposes. It shows an ability to be accurate in your work and not gloss over specific details that the client and their customers may want replicated.
yup. not worth the money. We just got lots of Quadros at the studio because Dell keeps selling those precision workstations with them. In game dev practice there's no real difference you'll notice with the latest drivers.
