One thing I do if I am having problems with hands, is to just look at my hands. They are perfect reference that I can manipulate to look at any angle. Really focus on the major forms of the hand. Break down the shapes, and really study the anatomy of the hands.
Pretty self-explanatory, really. I need to take a couple of hard drives with me when I move in a couple of weeks, and I'm not sure of the best way to do it. I guess it's a toss-up between carrying them in my hand luggage on the plane, or packing them as securely as possible in the depths of a suitcase. I'm wondering if the…
So today I go to boot up my desktop and surprise! My hard drive is apparently non-existent as far as the rest of the computer is concerned. I tried switching cables in case the cables were bad, changing where it's plugged into the motherboard, throwing it in the freezer for a bit, taking a look at the boot settings to see…
Hi everyone, Today I released the Alpha version of a tool I’ve been developing called HardCuts. HardCuts focuses on fast hard-surface concept modeling using voxel booleans and parametric shapes. The idea behind the tool is to make workflows like these very fast: • blockout shapes • boolean cutters • base mesh creation •…
Your spot on with everything :) It completely lacks direction because I didnt really have one when I started. Its pretty much the first hand drawn texture I did so I hadnt a clue about anything else than I wanted to try and learn many different techniques :) But tbh I think Ill go back and change it make the chains…
thats a very clean topology tho, alway nice to see clean stuff, also can i ask for some tips for the tosol retopology, my plan was to follow the actual human topology for this tosol. im starting out at the hand first cuz i dont want to blow my brain out with the tosol. i did the head retopology tho, its very messy but with…
Oh man I love hand painted swords! This one looks great, I don't know how you people come up with these designs! :D I did a paint over so that I don't fail to specify what areas I'm talking about. Those cuts on the guard are too uniform in spacing and size. Those leather bands are floating off the edge a little bit and the…
Been hard at work doing research and stuff! So I realized I needed a little more work on the concepts and techniques of hand painting so I learn how to make these few things. I would like to make a whole scene in the end. But that is a ways of. I do have a much better understanding of lighting, shadows, and making…
It certainly looks pretty toxic! At this point its hard to for me to give you any pointers as I can't really tell what the material is supposed to be, I'm assuming its kinda alien/sci-fi? If you're wanting to get in some good hand painted practice I would suggest starting with things that are familiar like wood, stone,…
I have to agree with everyone suggesting you should loosen your grip. Try changing your grip style entirely even. There's a video on Ctrl+Paint that offers an alternative grip: http://ctrlpaint.com/videos/how-to-hold-a-stylus However, I find that grip to be hard to get used to and your ring finger is weak. You can modify…
