Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I think I worked out the problem I've been having. After much brain-wracking and frustration. Partly it's that I don't need to try so hard to make "planar" mean "flat planes"; volume is fine. The other part....Hmm, I think something maybe just clicked in how I'm supposed to look at the reference. Also, I paid proper… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I finally finished the second stage. I kind of procrastinated a bit out of the usual perfectionist stress, not to mention generally being busy. I think I managed to get my head more or less around the way of looking at the reference, at least, to see these more simplistic versions of the forms. They're different than the… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
Been practicing a bit more. It's irritating how much these things can vary from person to person due to individual variation in shape; it would be really convenient if everyone just had the same thing going. Still, it's a bit better. I realised one of the problems I was having - as usual - was getting carried away and not… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
So I've been driving myself insane going around in circles. Or rather, I was already slightly insane and it's just in higher gear than usual. I got frustrated, so I scrapped that piece. I know, I know, it's a bad habit. But when I redid it the next day, I got back to about where I'd been quickly. It still looked like… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
A little bit of progress. I fixed the gesture somewhat. As usual, I realised I'd got ahead of myself. I didn't establish the directions of the masses properly before I started thinking about anatomy, so I had to make a lot more corrections. There's still a lot more to go; since I took a break to post this, I've just… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I think I'm going to do something else. Studying this way for a bit has been good practice for breaking my habit of thinking in terms of anatomy rather than form, but honestly at this point I'm just procrastinating with it because I'm a fucking idiot perfectionist. As per usual. I'm just putting off doing some proper… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
A bit of progress, perhaps? I realised I was getting ahead of myself, as per usual. Idiot. I don't need to be worrying about the eccentricities of this guy's deltoids or abs right now; I hadn't got the overall shape quite right. I was also misreading some of the shadows, so the forms weren't right in a few areas. I've made… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
Side project progress. Decided to shift it to miniature proportions; should've used them from the start really, since that's my aim, but I got carried away as usual. -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
Didn't have a tonne of time today, but I made some progress. Started this week's assignment on the course, which is a leg, and continued my latest version of that torso. Though having rendered it, I still see a tonne of flaws on the back, so those'll need reworking. I tried carving out some edges just to help me keep some… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
Thank you. I should use subdivision levels more. I tend to challenge myself to just do one thing in around an hour, so I become impatient and just start slapping volume on. And the usual impostor syndrome, of course. If nothing else, I should probably try to think more about the silhouette. Blocking out a lower resolution…
