Hello all I'm a Interactive Media Studies student who graduates in 2019-2020. I like to draw.

Here is my first attempt at 3D modeling: https://sketchfab.com/models/87f7148a386041b2a251e891f8e6831b

Here is concept vs reality. There were some limitations in my knowledge of the software so I'll definitely try modeling this character again.

I also hope to post sketches and some other things here as I am on holiday break.

Cheers!

Hi! It's very good to do a full character and you seem to have discipline to finish stuff!

To learn the software however, I would recommend a bit smaller projects. Anatomy is a very complex thing to take into account alongside learning software. Now the shapes don't follow the concept very well (especially the face and legs).

Keep going at it

Tracer fanart. There was a color mishap here but I'm not going to dwell on it, I'm onto the next drawing.

If there are some things I've learned about digital art they would be to:
-Start as loose as possible.
-Plan before starting a drawing.
-Don't draw in black, draw in a very dark grey.
-Canvas flipping is amazing!
-Block out everything before moving to detail!
-Set goals in your work! If something doesn't come off right in a piece aim to fix it in the next!

interesting style! if I may suggest, you can try to make the arms a bit longer so the characters can look more natural. But then again, artists always tweaking around anatomical rules so go and be creative XD
