I am trying to learn character design for 3D. I try to make at least a sculpt a day in Zbrush. I know it is important to learn anatomy but I am not sure if it is better to try to make the anatomy in zbrush or to do it on traditional paper and pencil. Could I get some advice please?
Hi! My name is Ángel. I'm looking for work as an illustrator or concept artist. I have a fine arts degree and have been creating characters for fun my whole life. I'm confortable working digitaly (Photoshop), with graphite penciles or chinese ink pens. My portfolio: https://angelcasabon.artstation.com/ My e-mail:…
@yameii17 Well learning how to draw, let alone anatomically can present a unique set of challenges for those starting out but needn't be an overall grind of a process so "Fun With A Pencil" by Andrew Loomis, I'll highly recommend as a helpful introduction to the discipline.
Don't neglect traditional art skills. The core skills in all art disciplines are observation and composition. You develop those skills faster with a pencil/crayon/handfuls of your own poop and a flat surface than you do trying to fight software.
I'd rather do a Saturday, but if Sunday works for more people then I can deal. Either way, that date(s) works for me. Shall we provisionally pencil in that weekend? Does that work for those traveling from out of state / further afield?
keep a pencil on your desk, every time you wanna boolean just stab yourself with it. i'm not saying never ever boolean, but i would say untill you are able to model something manualy then you should not use boolean to shortcut it.
All the ones here are from photos, a couple of the pencils may have been from imagination/memory. Its been a long while since iv had the chance to get in front of a life model but something I want to/should do again.
I dunno, I'd say it's still more common to start with a 2D sketch before moving into 3D so complete freeform sculpting isn't that crucial. As fast as you can work in Zbrush or so, it's still faster to grab a pencil and a sheet of paper.
I got a graphire and it took me 2 days and some adjustment of pencil/brush settings to draw just as I did with paper and pen. A wacom is a must have for texturing and digital art :P ah i need to try the other tablets...
Hey Kevin, I really like the layout of your website, especially the "Love" tab with digital, pencil, pen and ink, and 3d. It was nice to see your old stuff too, you don't see that too often from people already in the industry.
