My hand-painted texture skills are something I'm trying to focus on. Jfletcher (http://www.artpanda.co.uk/) was kind enough to let me use his church concept to bone up on my skills. I'll be keeping track of my progress in this thread, which will hopefully encourage me to take this to completion sooner. Here is my color…
One thing I do if I am having problems with hands, is to just look at my hands. They are perfect reference that I can manipulate to look at any angle. Really focus on the major forms of the hand. Break down the shapes, and really study the anatomy of the hands.
Pretty self-explanatory, really. I need to take a couple of hard drives with me when I move in a couple of weeks, and I'm not sure of the best way to do it. I guess it's a toss-up between carrying them in my hand luggage on the plane, or packing them as securely as possible in the depths of a suitcase. I'm wondering if the…
thats a very clean topology tho, alway nice to see clean stuff, also can i ask for some tips for the tosol retopology, my plan was to follow the actual human topology for this tosol. im starting out at the hand first cuz i dont want to blow my brain out with the tosol. i did the head retopology tho, its very messy but with…
So today I go to boot up my desktop and surprise! My hard drive is apparently non-existent as far as the rest of the computer is concerned. I tried switching cables in case the cables were bad, changing where it's plugged into the motherboard, throwing it in the freezer for a bit, taking a look at the boot settings to see…
Your spot on with everything :) It completely lacks direction because I didnt really have one when I started. Its pretty much the first hand drawn texture I did so I hadnt a clue about anything else than I wanted to try and learn many different techniques :) But tbh I think Ill go back and change it make the chains…
Oh man I love hand painted swords! This one looks great, I don't know how you people come up with these designs! :D I did a paint over so that I don't fail to specify what areas I'm talking about. Those cuts on the guard are too uniform in spacing and size. Those leather bands are floating off the edge a little bit and the…
Been hard at work doing research and stuff! So I realized I needed a little more work on the concepts and techniques of hand painting so I learn how to make these few things. I would like to make a whole scene in the end. But that is a ways of. I do have a much better understanding of lighting, shadows, and making…
It certainly looks pretty toxic! At this point its hard to for me to give you any pointers as I can't really tell what the material is supposed to be, I'm assuming its kinda alien/sci-fi? If you're wanting to get in some good hand painted practice I would suggest starting with things that are familiar like wood, stone,…
I have to agree with everyone suggesting you should loosen your grip. Try changing your grip style entirely even. There's a video on Ctrl+Paint that offers an alternative grip: http://ctrlpaint.com/videos/how-to-hold-a-stylus However, I find that grip to be hard to get used to and your ring finger is weak. You can modify…
