Life drawing is probably the main thing. Even if you aren't a character artist, it will teach you structure, proportions, and flow. Flow comes with gesture drawings. Try and get into a life drawing class at a local college if you can. But you could also just look up life drawing poses on google images and deviantart and…
@pior ah ok i understand you better. i have tried both approaches and it seemed like including the bow with the character was simpler overall. Because then I just author the animations in one swoop, and in engine all i have to do is call a specific montage. For instance, an animation for draw the bow, and animation to fire…
The main thing that I am worried about with laying things out in the editor is that the meshes aren't instanced and I'll end up having a bunch of draw calls for the same assets. For instance those trees are repeated a bunch of times so it would be ideal to have them all on the one draw call. As far as I have been able to…
Hi. Haven't done anything constructive in a while. Been busy on some stuff. Anyway ~ I'm suffering a problem with one of my projects. It's a drawing application that uses OpenGL for rendering. Basically, when drawing, data is recorded from the mouse/tablet. A series of X Y locations enters the drawing buffer. Depending on…
I drew up another sketch for how I want the scene to look and I like this a lot better than my previous drawing. I'm going for a swampy area with a cottage designed around a blacksmith's house. Let me know what you think! Adding my greybox so far:
I find that looking through sites like that for inspiration start to put me in a drag of a mood. I tend to spend aimless ours at the comp looking at these beautiful renders and drawings only to get me into a rut of wishing I were better. But, I guess for reference... http://www.pixagogo.com/DeicideNBF Guns anyone?

Hello, I have decided to create a new game environment project so I can practice and learn new.. mostly theoretical elements. I aim to create something very appealing visually, that would draw the player and make them want to play the game :) . I plan to improve and will focus on the following things: - silhouette - color…
Illustrator is a great program for graphic design work but is not a drawing tool. It uses lines and line-based shapes which are filled and/or stroked. There is a "brush" tool but it works the same way, simply generating a smoothed line along the path you drew. Use Illustrator if you want to make clean, precise logos,…
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=679664770 I drew out the graphics with a mouse and keyboard using my pencil drawing as a guide line. I then coloured the image with block colours becasue i wanted a simple cartoon look. I used 3 shades of colour however i still managed a realistic detailed image.
