For item 1, this all stems from daily drawing practice. Just draw things that you see in the world around you. Anything that strikes your fancy, draw it. Inside of the commuter train you take to get to school. A tree on the street. Someone's ear. Buy or make a sketchbook and draw, draw, draw. Your ability will only grow if…
Did you use a reference for this drawing? The first thing I learned during my Observational drawing class was to draw what I see and not what I think it should be. I used to draw faces/bodies without references but just the way I think what they should look like and I thought, wow "I was good" hahaha..this is coming from…
alrighty. i changed my mind. i was working on the skirt and i was dragging the skirt down for more area to work with, and then i realized; oh damn. it looks pretty sick if i'd do a full body (so yeah you planted a seed when you suggested extending past the bust @Fabi_G !) or at least the illusion of a full body, since most…
Hey guys, I've used XSI for ... wow a long time now. About 4 years. Anyway. I've decided I want to go to Full Sail for their Game Art degree (finally some official training :D ) and I've learned they use Maya there. So in anticipation, I've started messing around with it. I've heard XSI is pretty similar to Maya, but so…
Hey all! After watching the amazing Drew Struzan Hellboy poster DVD... [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf-xlYvR1CY[/ame] ... I have been inspired to try my hand at projection techniques for illustration. Basically : projecting an enlarged loose sketch to a clean surface in order to refine an illustration further (as…
Hard to tell at this point. You could really use some more studies for comparison. Draw more and try not to post unless you've got something to show. I stopped by your sketchbook a few times before and saw a lot of "drew this, don't have time to post that" kind of stuff. It's great that you're so enthusiastic to update,…
I only have a couple tradional peices now but will have more as I put my portfolio together from college. Mind the crappy quality as they are from my phone drawn from a still from the film blood diamond. drawn from another still from blood diamond, the anatomy is off, slanting slightly mainly the chin but I have sorted it…
You need to use a different tool. If you use the Line tool (it's right next to the Freehand Brush tool on the toolbar), it draws lines using the Brush Preset that is selected, with dynamics and all, as if you were drawing by hand. You can hold SHIFT to snap the line to angles, and you can control the pressure of different…
I've been tackling this problem for a little while with my new project. The things you have to keep in mind is the setting, the key elements of the city that pertain to style and the gameplay, and how you're going to handle it once it's in game. What I've done with my project is started designing the city in 'districts'. I…
