Re: Are traditional art skills required for learning hand-painted textures?
Yes. To be good at hand painted style, you have to learn how to... umm... paint. I suggest getting a sketch book, and drawing a little every day. Draw only the things you see, not imaginary things. Forces you to observe! Post your drawings here for critique. Implement feedback. Rinse, repeat. Drawing and painting are… -
Re: Field of specialization
I suggest considering becoming a Houdini specialist, doing wild environment/prop/architecture stuff like the fx scenes from Inception. Houdini is quite technical, but ultimately is an art tool that can benefit from the user's knowledge of programming. Put plenty of effort into learning how to make and alter modular… -
Sketchbook: omaii
Been wanting to start one of these for a bit to share all of my artistic interests beyond 3D :) I've just joined the daily figure drawing challenge Kimodameshi for the month to push myself to keep up with at least some drawing while I'm 3D-pilled for uni so figured sharing my dailies from this commitment might be a good… -
Re: Help Needed to Move Forward
@PixelMasher I want to start off by saying thank you. I honestly didn't know if anyone would read this. I also appreciate your frankness and the shear amount of detail you went into with your answers. I took a while to really reevaluate myself and to make sure that this is what I wanted to do. To my relief, it is. I am… -
Re: what's wrong with my render? shadows problem
To explain this point: Imagine a shadow map is an image of the shadows in your scene (not the case but easy to visualise) When you use a distant light with shadow maps the light effects the whole scene so to do the shadows it must draw the whole scene in its shadow map. so that massive plane is enlarging the scene and… -
Re: Wacom Pressure Curves Suck
Dado Thanks for that link I needed it, I am having an issue with some random drag thing after I finish a brush stroke it keeps drawing for like 1-2 seconds after I lift the pen and before I put it down it creates some random stroke before the pen touches the surface of the tablet... Anyone got any ideas? It was doing that… -
Re: Thug Character WIP
Looks really good to me man. Although you have the legs so similar to the concept in your front drawing, there looks to be perspective drawn in and these are supposed to be orthographic. Side view looks correct though as an orthographic. I would make the legs and arms just slightly longer and remove the pitch from the… -
Re: "Stancing" human illustrations?
enroll into a lifedrawing class you won't magically create believable looking human figures unless you've drawn them from life a number of times - and that's where you will actually see how things like perspective, light and shadows work on a human figure (provided your studio will have a good set-up.) reference is one of… -
Re: Artist that are skilled in both 2d and 3d
Can't really agree, although maybe we're getting our wires crossed and I'm misunderstanding. On my old course at Escape, a couple of the tutors did some really badass work in ZBrush (some of it was incredible) but they drew worse than a 3 year old :D I myself feel I could get way better results working in a digital… -
Re: TF2 Nurse
@ Vig: HA! I was watching the Incredibles the other day with my son and that's what drew inspiration to make the nurse. I didn't want to directly copy her figure, but I want to definitely draw from it. The bandoleer was to hold her medipack for her Ether Launcher, but since I'm getting rid of that, a redesign of her outfit…
