my figuer drawing teacher always hammers down how important it is to actually understand what it is you are drawing rather just copying the outline and rendering it most students would spend 3 hours copying the figuer, filling in with some nice rendering, fixing the lines a little more.. and ye, at the end you have…
Sorry. we have been getting so wrapped up in the game that it slipped our minds. Our game is going to be an FPS with sneaking elements to it.
