Darts (Douglas)- Art School Journey

[xdarts]

Thank you @sasha0wood!
You're definitely right! But i believe that we see this in the color and light class in Term 4, so i will wait until there to learn more about it.
I am kind of a slow learner, so i'm trying to focus on as little subjects that i can at a time hehe.

2p Perspective
This is still a little too hard to me! I've decided to only draw from reference from now, and later i'm going to study as @Lukiesartventure suggested in his topic.

[Lukiesartventure]

Looks fantastic! Great start and a nice design to start studying from!

Hello! I've been away for some time, but i'm still practicing!
I have decided to see the Zbrush classes at once and already finished it!!

First, i will post what i have already done in 3d in the past using blender!
I didn't make the textures! Take a look bellow to see a little about PBR pipelines.

A Rabbit from a udemy course (pt-br) from Gustavo Rosa.

Donut Tutorial from Blender Guru.

Chair Tutorial from Blender Guru.

Sword, by me.

And my assignments now, done in zbrush, I've done a barrel and a half-orc girl!

3d is cool and fun! I will definitely do it more!
EDIT: Added some clarifications.

[Lukiesartventure]

This is great! How long have you been learning blender?? That sword material looks really good!

[hikarisunlight]

ahh your 3d works look incredible! i love the chair and sword!

[xdarts]

@Lukiesartventure @hikarisunlight
Thank you! I Think i started to learn Blender about six months ago, but i studied in depth only for something like 2 or 3 months, when i started artschool i've kinda put it to side haha.

It is important to know that i didn't make the textures for the sword and chair, and both the Donut and the Chair have been made by following a tutorial from Blender Guru:

Blender Guru

There is a thing called PBR (Physically Based Rendering) Texturing, where you take a model and apply texture maps (for material, gloss, normals...) to make it look realistic. You can find a bunch of those maps online for free and build shaders to apply to your models without too much effort.

I think i've used this one from poliigon for the chair:

For the sword i've used these:
https://www.poliigon.com/texture/fabric-leather-buffalo-rustic-001
https://www.poliigon.com/texture/metal-stainless-steel-brushed-elongated-005

I should have said this earlier, sorry.

[Lukiesartventure]

You have saved me again! Thanks Darts!

[xdarts]

Hi again!
I've remade the dnd character that i've made long ago, now that we are getting close to the end of the campaing. I wanted to make him look older and wiser and also changed to a more realistic style. I tried to go a little further with color and light this time, please tell me if you have any critique!

I am still working on the task that i've defined, but i got bored and decided to do this haha.

[OpaqueApple]

this looks really good, i love the more realistic approach. you've improved alot!

[_Sasha_]

Really like these paintings, the detail is nice and the forms show really well

[Lockenheim]

Great work! Keep it up!

[xdarts]

I have watched the Anatomy 2 class and am currently trying to memorize the names of the muscles, i think it will take some time. Those are my notes:

I'm back working on the project i set for myself a little time ago!
I decided to make the character full body because i think it's more fun.

Here is the linework for Shani, from The WItcher (Based on the first game). I will try to make the shading more stylized this time and see how it goes.

Any advice is welcome!

[xdarts]

Hi!
I have finished it! It's kinda messed up here and there, but i'm really happy with the result! I'm still getting lost in the process but i hope to get better at it with enough practice.
Let me know what you think!

[Lukiesartventure]

Fantastic stuff Darts! The shading looks great and the pose is really believable! I think the legs may be a little long though

[xdarts]

Thank you for the Feedback @Lukiesartventure! I've been using a different head-to-body ratio from what Marc Teach that i've learned ages ago and wasn't even thinking about it!
I have tried to make this new one with this in mind.

I've made the Lineart for Triss Merigold, with the looks from the Witcher 1. Drawing the entire body is much more fun, even tho i need to get better at drawing anatomy...

[xdarts]

Hello!
I have finnally finished it! I had to rework some things that didn't work before (like the right arm and the face). I could spend some more time refining it, but i think it's good enough for now.
I have followed the latest tutorial that Marc posted on Youtube for this, and i am very happy with the result.

Let me know what you think.

[luke.buersgens]

It looks good!
As you said yourself, you could have refined it a bit more.
But I really like the way it is now, has a warm feeling to it.

[Lukiesartventure]

Great stuff Darts! This came out really well

[xdarts]

Today i have worked on the first assignment for the Anatomy 2 class, feel free to point any mistakes that i may have made.

I will post a link to the anatomy reference that Marc shared with us, just to be easier to find it in the future, it's such a life saver!

Male Anatomy Reference

Hey guys, here's my male anatomy model in a convenient 3D viewer in its own topic so you can bookmark it and use it as reference later! Hope this helps. scene.mview (3.2 MB)

I've been sick and got kinda sloppy with my regular practices, but i'm trying to get back on track. Let's keep the grind going, slowly but steady!

[Lockenheim]

What I think, is this is fantastic! Great lines and a great piece!
