Prismacolor markers are mega expensive...but you really cant beat them in terms of marker quality. Calling them a waste of time is pretty silly, that's like calling acrylic paint or colored pencils a waste of time. Just because it wont be the tool that you're using 100% of the time at a job doesn't mean you wont learn…

I have this scanner, which looks to have been replaced by this other scanner. I love it, year or two ago I was looking for basically what you're looking for, an affordable scanner for pencil sketches.

I will say in a post mortem reflection, maybe not so ironically, I was correct in that my DCC of choice did change throughout this project. The majority of the project was made in 3DS Max and Blender. I would say about 55% of it was 3DS Max, and the rest of it was finished in Blender. (Both were accompanied by Zbrush) when…

But first of i want to say that your sculpting and attention for detail looks quiet good already, same goes for your pencil sketches, you obviously know how to render with a pencil. Often…
