Thanks SupRore. It's actually supposed to be a gas tank, and I found it on ebay. There's all sorts of interesting things to paint on ebay. I used to draw with pencil or pastel, but never learned how to use photoshop for digital painting (my college photoshop class avoided digital painting all together... :poly127: ). So, I…
Well the main thing I can do to help you is point you toward imgur.com which you can use to host and link to your images for free. You'll be able to link to them directly so we can see them in the post using the code As for your art itself, I'd recommend focusing on your rendering of 3D shapes, getting that skin smoother…
Starting this up again. My boss at the studio I'm interning asked me to do 4 hours of anatomy study every day. Here are a few days worth of work. Not much I'm afraid, I really need to work on my speed. Just pencil and paper so far but I'm going to switch over to 3D from now on. Will try to do one every day, four hours…
Haha! This thread is really amazing. Here are some things from me. Before I buy a computer, in 2003, I used to draw in pencils. Mainly copying photos of (naked) women. I started in digital painting in 2004. I was an anime fan by that time. Currently - 2012 - I paint like this: My first decent 3D model (2005, heavily based…
sitting down now to knock out the wood. Slow progress, i don't really know what i'm doing. just doing dam standard and dynamesh with polish and pushing here and pulling there. Might be a nightmare to clean up but idk how else to really do it lol I second this!Lukitscherie said: That's a bummer, because you got off to a…
Money- That gives me Bravestar flashback lol Thanks fot the link. I do need to rethink my approach. JamesWarren- Damn, way to disappear and come out of the dark swinging! I really like where this is headin. Baddcog- As their designed now you're right they just aren't cuttin it. Horses have a design that works but i don't…
mhahah you must have no life at all. i hate the pc, but somehow im allways drawn back to it. your health gets fackedup by it, and switching from the pc to the tv and play video games doesnt help. try switching art forms, pick up a pencil and start drawing. this doesnt just fix the pc problem, it helps you with alot of…
i'd say get the tablet now. it takes some time to get used to it - and if you wanna get pro, you'll have to start using it at some point anyway. so why not start early. it also allows you to practise more painterly techniques, usage of colors, fancy brushes etc. If you wanna become a concept artist or illustrator then it's…
The rest of this is pretty much from the last 2 months. Later I'll get around to scanning and posting the anatomical studies in pencil I've also been doing recently. Oh, and the Famas WIP sadly was lost to time when my hard-drive went up in flames (note to self, don't name the C: drive 'Icarus'), though I'll get around to…
I would recommend also learning how to model a human accurately before moving onto sculpting. It might be easier for you to just stop doing 3D all together and start getting your 2D skills up to par. Focus on drawing before sculpting. You'll spend more time rendering out forms with a pencil/pen/wacom that it will allow you…
