I'd recommend drawing on top of a photo, the minimal lines you think you would need to define the form. Then try modeling using those lines. And examine others' models that seem to have good flow. It takes time to learn how to perceive and create good edge flow. As you practice and improve, you'll be able to create good…
Great stuff everyone! I have added some to mine after seeing all of yours! -Do everything I can do to get a job this year -Draw more, lately all I have been doing is 3D, but I can't forget to pick up a pencil now and then, I'll have to start going back to life drawing. -Spend more time with the boyfren (when and if hes not…
Assuming you work in Maya. The automatic weight normalisation (making sure, all your joints weights add up to 1) is "overriding" the values you see in the viewport, when painting weights. This means, the painting tool draws the mesh as if the weight locking isnt there. You need to refresh by quickly selecting another…
Attempt at an "epic" illustration from 6-7 years ago. Jetpack commando assault on an airbase. This would have served as the under-drawing. When I started to paint I realised my photoshop skills (back then) were deficient for such a composition. I sweated drawing the buildings and perspective (I'm aware of flaws). Now...I'd…
I think you need to draw/paint more, like a lot more in your pieces. its really obvious your just slapping photos together. photo baching is a powerful tool but its really only something you should use when you have the fundamentals down. I would spend some time just doing studies, trying to get a painting/drawing down,…
Hi there ! Just wanted to encourage you because Vi is one of my favorite ! If I may give you a little feedback on what I can see, I'd say that your drawing has a lot of style. But I just have a problem with the face of the 3D model, there is something almost simian, I think the proportions might be a bit off, you should…
This: http://youtu.be/EDG9TUHD1Cw I still sometimes draw construction on a head in a really odd angle or if I just can't seem to place things properly the first try, but I don't do the whole sphere/divide/cut off sides thing, as it ends up looking exactly like all of the other heads you'd draw this way. One of the reasons…
I have a problem learning digital drawing/painting myself, and am not a great drawer in traditional mediums either. I, like you, am more of a 3d guy but I do understand that the fundamentals of art are transcendent through all forms of the discipline. Try checking out this sight I linked which are all mostly free tuts. I…
There is a lot of correlation between math and drawing. I was a sort of mathematician myself when i was young, and I can see how much that helped. Like you, I also believed I had little to no artistic skill having never been interested in that sort of stuff. But rest assured, there is a lot of overlap. It would help to see…
Perhaps that was clumsily worded. The idea behind that is that one drawing is rarely enough to fully express a design or theme. So one of the rewards would be to iterate with our art director and then produce a few more drawings, if you want to, in order to fully flesh out your designs and ideas. You know, or don't. :)…
