I've been using the search function and researching on this magical fundamentals of drawing that I've apparently missed out on. To clarify further, I've been in art school for a year now and I've completed my foundation year. I can say that in 95% of situations, I can accurately recreate a photograph or what's in front of…
Hello there! I recently made my first course for an ArtStation challenge, but because of the deadline, I uploaded the first half at a reduced price until I manage to do the voice-overs for the rest of the course. It's beginner-friendly, you can start learning how to use the tools in Marvelous Designer at the same time you…
I have a question regarding skills that you need in concept art. Can you help me with arranging those points according to importance/after what you should learn first? What is a bonus but not required? Which point is good accumulate knowledge? I have organized these points after three categories, those are just for…
I just learned today that Alex Toth had passed away. I never wrote to the man, but I would refer to book collections of his work fairly often. He was active in comics, movies and television animation, and my exposure to that late 60's Adventure animation was probably the biggest influence in my art, even to this day.…
Asking because I'm curious- if you're using normal maps already, why the need for smoothing groups? I'd recommend Blender if you can compromise on the art a bit. I like it, but it does have some drawbacks. SubD - You're limited to 3 and 4 sided polygons, so hard surface modeling may be a bit of a challenge. Sculpting -…
1: Your right Vig there is no excuse for the pasetd look but I was trying to see if I could get the whole thing done in 2 hrs from pencils to background . My work schedule would not allow me to spend a great deal of time on each comic so I was hoping I could get away with some of that pasted look and still not come off to…
Well the videos couldn't come out for legal reasons..:( I'm glad i finally got a critique on the events....no one ever picks apart the event. :) Dekard you should have had a sketchbook or something for notes. If you want i can reserve a table for you at the new workshop. there are about 20 desk that people can set up at…
Your models aren't bad, but they aren't terribly complex either, so I don't have much to say on that front. If you are looking for advice here's what I would say: I'm a professional 3D artist doing photoreal renderings. The biggest growth I saw was working for a boss that required almost perfect replication of real world…
Unfortunately the project will have to end here. There is no time left and I can't even paint between Affinity Photo bugging out and my computer getting overwhelmed and seizing up. #feelsbad. Sad that a 2.6k machine, even if a laptop, still can't handle this workload but then again I should probably save up and build a pc…
for sure, I agree it's a whole lot easier to train, you can immediately see the result of your attempt at animating, rather than needing to go to a camera and shooting it frame by frame. I don't have a grasp on how to animate in 3d yet, but I imagine that's just a factor of knowing the software. I'm flying solo by the seat…
