There are a couple of things working like that accomplishes. For one, the piece looks much cleaner and less amateurish. It also helps maintain a hierarchy of shape. You don't want the entire image covered with thin strokes. Use those small shapes to describe details around the focal point (using the example again, the…
This week I have been doing more gesture drawing and practicing the robo-bean from the Proko course. Still finding this pretty difficult, especially for poses that have a twist so need to practice more. The house I drew whilst following along with one of Trent Kaniuga's drawing tutorials, but I've started workinng on one…
Is anybody else experiencing heavy lag when trying to retopo a mesh? I have a pretty good machine but when trying to use the Quad-Draw tool on a high poly mesh to retopo it takes about 1-4 seconds for Maya to actually draw the Poly.

They are not intended to be the final solution. As far as for performance reasons, I'm not a graphics engineer, but I think it has something to…

I recently finished illustrating a movie poster of my family and our past adventures. This video and image set shows the step by step process of how I used mixed media to create it. Many thanks to Drew Struzan for your inspirational works of art ever since I was a kid going to the theater to see Star Wars for the 1st…
