took some inspiration from @patrycja.lerch trying to redesign my characters tell me which one you guys like the best
Nice work!
For angel I like wings and halo on 2 and overall vibe of 1
Second character looks interesting. I like staff shape. I like 2 most but that's just me loving long coats. 3 has wanderer feel to it with cloak worn this way while the others look more I don't know elegant.
As for the angel, I like the 2nd one. The warrior and mage, I like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones. Mainly for the cloak and cape. Nice work on the gesture drawings.
Thanks I was leaning into 3 too but i really do like the classic long coat look as for the angel I also like the 1st one ill add the wings onto him
Yea I was thinking about adding more armor to the angel I think I'll try to mix on the mage.
as for the next few drawings I've been playing Honkai Star Rail so I took a break first couple of drawings are not so good haha but I really do like the anatomy study
Haha, fine sketches, the last one turned out particularly well. Still impressed at just working on physical, it's been so long I probably can't even do a basic sketch on paper.
The anatomy looks pretty good so far. Mainly the first, third, and fourth ones.
haha thanks something just feels right about it to me
thanks
So IDK if anyone else did this but I kinda skipped the rest of term 3 because I feel like I had no connection to Zbrush. I really dont specialize in 3d work and sculpting so I decided to move to term 4 where the rest of the anatomy lessons where. Let me know if you guys did the same or if I should go back and do them.
anyway here are the notes I took for the first lessons on the arm and hands (the forearm is a pain in the ass to remember ima have to go back to the video so I make sure I know where the muscles go)
Yep, I did as well, as I have no plans to expand or continue work on 3D either, and just getting Zbrush was a bit of a hassle. Pretty expensive too. You could use blender, most people seem to switch to that.
Granted, I had previously learned 3D studio and Maya, so I was familiar with working with 3D space, and even if you don't dedicate your career to it, I have to say becoming familiar with a 3D tool does help improve spatial awareness.
Still, to each their own, we all kinda follow the course in different ways. In that respect, I don't remember if you mentioned it, but are you following the Study companion? if not, I would recommend to try it out, as it expands on the course significantly, and though there is some repetition, I've noticed it has helped me improve considerably than if I had only followed the course videos and basic exercices.
I would also recommend taking a peak at how some others have tackled some of these exercices and references, some have done some truly impressive work, and seeing how others do it also helps take tips from them for your own work.
Exercices look good so far, anatomy is quite a challenge, but also a lot of fun.
