I bought a Genius Mousepen - and before anyone goes THATS NOT WACOM - it's good. It uses a triple A battery in the pen :/ but other than that, once you setup the driver config, it's really nice. I got it to practice, I wrote here about how I practice: http://supermortalhuman.com/how-to-use-graphics-tablet I found in…
Id really like to clear some stuff up :P I study all the time!!! I have a 7 page anatomy thread on PC that spans over 6 months and I learned so much!! I never forgot what an impact it made and how rapid I progressed with sculpting and even more how it impacted my understanding of forms in drawing! I study privately, take…
Ding ding!! As an person who doesn't believe in any particular god or God, it's refreshing. Notice I didn't call myself Atheist. It allows me to go to church on Sunday with my grandma when she asks me to. Wish greetings to Jewish friends. I practice Lint and fasting with a Catholic friend. Pray to Mecca with my cousin. Go…
Maybe this will help you get started -> https://gumroad.com/grassetti It's very affordable and very straight forward. I learned anatomy by doing a lot of drawing and studying individual forms and a lot of practice. You can also check out Proko's figure drawing series. Even though it's about drawing the knowledge can be…
IStonia, I'm not sure if this helps at all, but I have a mild name suggestion (which really takes yours and pushes it a little further) TriZenDo In Zen Buddhism, the zen-dō is a spiritual dōjō where zazen (sitting meditation) is practiced. A full-sized Zen Buddhist temple will typically have at least one zen-dō as well as…
This remains such a valuable kick-off platform for me. I'm currently tied up with a couple of work tests for a few job applications, but I can't wait to put the advice here to practice, trying out the different fields in earnest quicker projects, then getting to grind on nicer quality portfolio pieces that I allow time and…
It is really easy for the "pay-the-bill" job to take all your time away, and get home with just a few hours left to practice. Even as I say it I knew it's almost wishful thinking on my part to not make that mistake again, which is what drove me desperate enough to quit job and go back to school like you did. You're right I…
Great link LRoy, thanks! My intention with this stage, is to model out the muscles, not a body that can be taken into a sculpting package. The topology right now is meant to reflect the muscles and not the skin on top. I do intend to retopo it afterwards, but my main concern is the anatomy experience and problem solving…
Softimage future is pretty solid. Autodesk sell it alone or in a suite with mudbox, motionbuilder and Max or Maya (and mudbox and motion builder also have solid future). Seems in Japan the suit is composed by Softimage as main application. Avid cancelled the Foundation release, not Autodesk, and AD decrease the price, from…
You absolutely should because general art and especially design fundamentals teach you better than anything else how to manipulate form and shape. You can come into those on your own with practice, but that's an uphill battle nobody should take. For example, I learned fuck all my second year at art school. The game design…
