I've seen two unrelated sources suggest the same method on goal-making: think backwards on what you have to do. You want to do [something]. So start thinking at [something], and then think back what you need to do in order to get there. You'll list a bunch of steps and these steps become your actual goals, not…
Thank you guys! The main goal of my question was to know which area I should focus on. Because, I'm taking drawing classes with a private teachers and he would like to know what I'll have to paint exactly to build me a better classes structure. Due to my lack of experience in UV and Texturing, I dont really know how it's…
[ QUOTE ] Erm... if it was "proper" widescreen then 4:3 users would get left and right cut off, no? Or would you prefer stretching the image and having everyone fat or thin and tall?? [/ QUOTE ] It's not getting stretched in WS mode, it's just getting cropped. It's a half-ass way of supporting widescreen. And yes, you're…
hi, i know i have lots to learn as an artist but people keep saying my drawings show no life"" are there any lessons you can show me because i dont quite get it, like is it just using my values better and form or just drawing a character in action. and is there any lessons on proportions because im always looking for cool…
I use it about as much as my big computer - I like being able to sit on the sofa and draw pictures, muck around in designer or write code then use the big one for finishing stuff off.

Well, it's getting a little OT now, it started simply as a question to Marks about Creative Assembly way to consider experience, i know by myself that i need to improve and that i'm not at the level they look for! :) Anyway, thanks for your suggestion Odow, even if i couldn't even remember the drawings i did for that…
I agree with everything that has been said. Images like this are hard to understand if we don't know the character in the first place. Posting a separate image with the robot by itself so we can see it would help a lot. When i first started drawing (2d) i would draw dragons a lot, but i couldn't draw feet, so i would…
Oooooh shit man you just made me realize something! Wouldnt it be cool to draw on one of these big oversized intuos4 ... looking down at the table as if working on regular paper ... but wearing one of these LCD private cinema glasses!!! You would see the cursor moving just like on paper .... and tilting the canvas in CS4…
Hello! I'm a student from England doing a bachelors degree in illustration and oneday hope to be a character concept and splash artist. For the contest I either wanted to do a rework of Tempest Janna or a completely new skin for Syndra. I love the raw power of both of these lovely ladies and I wanted to create a…
