Re: How do you get better at drawing?
when i feel like i'm not able to do something well, i just do it over and over and over with references, and always analyzing what i did wrong so it can be improve during the nth attempt. Draw 10 things a day, or 1 thing a day, but do it every day for a year. Or pick a month and every day draw 5-10 of those things. I spent… -
Re: Learning modern texturing from scratch?
Also you will need a solid understanding of theory and practice behind PBR and Normal map baking. Here's some links that I find quite useful. --------------------------------PBR----------------------------------------- Allegorithmic’s PBR Guide Part 1-2 — a good place to start reading on PBR, has almost everything you need… -
Re: Horrible Face Sculpting | Need Help
I would agree your topology is not the problem here at all. Right now you are having difficulty defining shapes with zBrush. You need to go back to the basics and do basic anatomy studies, in this case, the face. Start with small sections, instead of trying the whole picture here. Do the area around the eyes, or the mouth,… -
Re: rant: tripples, nipples, and technical art
There is another clear and very necessary reason so many people focus on technique first. No matter what idea you are trying to convey, your proficiency at technique determines how well you can get that idea across. Technique is easy to practice, and normally results in a 1:1 ration of practice to improvement. Concept and… -
Re: The Art of Finger-Pointing
And I think this is a good way to really break the mold and getting practice in for noobs. Theyre given the tools but don't know where to start. Ideally, I think every artist should be able to develop their own concepts and push entire projects to the end from their own, but building work from others concepts are perfectly… -
Re: Sketchbook: Ukase Death Ritual
today sucked but trying to get good at drawing gives me the will to live I guess Practiced for 3 hours which is an improvement on what I normally do. I'm trying to get up to 6 hours on work days and 14 hours on off days. It might take a couple months for that to feel normal but whatever. Also looked at some of Moebius's… -
Re: On Why too much help stunts your growth
nice point Kevin, sometimes a little bit of knowledge (knowing what you dont know) is your worst enemy... I started to learn 3d in isolation back in the 90s at my parents home (deepest darkest wales on a hillside 2 miles from the nearest village) with the occasional magazine article but no internet....i wasnt inhibited by… -
Re: [WIP] ArenaNet Art Test: Female
Agreed 100% with Swizzle. Look at those Hazardous course threads and especially pay attention to the references they've gathered. Look at the shape of the female face and practice drawing it, and then practice sculpting it. Look up anatomy reference, look at the way muscles flow into each other. Look at female silhouettes… -
Re: I want the experience of college but not the debt
I usually tell people go to a regular established 4 year college, and try to learn some skill on the side. You want to learn art? Fine, take a few art classes, go online and learn some art there, practice practice practice, and by the time you graduate you should have a portfolio showing off your work. You will also get a… -
Re: Hi all - just starting out
My drawing skills deteriorated again since I haven't drawn for a long time. I sketched a lot in college though. But just from drawing and the observation that is required you learn a lot. You have the chance to learn about shading, composition, form, shape, silhouette, perspective, proportions. And the most awesome thing…
