So ive been uploading my images to imageshack for a while now which so far has been fine i was kind of worried about it not being private and all that but recently ive been doing life drawing and anatomy studies. i uploaded them to show some people to get critique, the next day i find out that most of them have been taken…
What are the foundations of this area that I need to study? For instance, if I wanted to be a character artist, aside from the necessary skills in anatomy and figure drawing i'd need, to design anything well I'd study costume design by going to amazon and grabbing a well regarded book on the subject. So what I'm asking is…
My name is Adam and I am just joining the contest, better late than never ;) I´m from Sweden and I am currently studying sound design for film but I have big passion for all kinds of sound design. Really interested in looking into sound design for games. Don´t know how much time I will be able to dedicate to the contest as…
Thanks! This does help, 8. I'm mostly looked at Grasetti and Slipgate (Vadim B.) portfolios as something to aspire to even if I don't have the work experience to back it up. For the moment I'm trying to get my porfolio closer to jakob hill since it seemed to be the most balanced of the 3 and reflects the level I'm a For…
There is a difference between knowing the ropes of a program and actually making art from it, which is the struggle I think the OP was getting at. polygonfreak, reading your post, you may want to consider studying more traditional art; study industrial design, art theory, etc. You may know how to push polies and bake down…
Well, some pieces you finish some you don't. The most important thing is to know what you want to do with your life. If one of your goals is to become a better artist then you need to put some hours into it even though you might not feel like it. It should always be some kind of fun though, if you're not up to a big…
Look at the darkness of the line you used around the eye, on your drawing and the picture. Both black - good. Now look at the shadow side of the nose on your drawing. Very light grey. Now look at the picture : pitch black. And finally, look at the dark line you drew at the junction of the lips. Black. Now look at the…
they all seem to have the same level of specular. except for maybe the skin. your axe-head seems to have the sharpest hot-spot, but it's hard to tell because the white is so consistent across the object. I also cannot tell if it is metal or stone, comparing it to your other swatches. doing a simple google image search for…
The alien is easily my favorite piece. :) Actually its the only one I like. The environment props aren't well textured. The materials aren't well defined. I would suggest really working on material definition by studying/researching as much as you can. The diffuse-only style needs way more levels of detail to shine. Have…
@OXGears, Thanks for the feedback, yeah I see what you mean about the proportions, it seems to be the biggest of the many problems my drawings have. I've done some more studies, the face just now and the environment a couple of days ago. Seems to have the same issues as the other drawings so I figure i'll just keep…
