Morning sketching

Good morning.

Zbrush face day 2

Day 2 of Zbrush.   Polishing up the face more.   Did hours of tutorial videos and got more familiar with the program and the UI.    

Eyes are a pain but they’re looking better.  Still dreading the ears but we’ll get there.  Will also clean up around her jaw and start to learn hair. 

The 3D Journey Begins

I've never done 3D.   It's been something I've honestly avoided as long as I could after having a terrible experience many years ago with 3D Max.   But technology has come a hell of a long way since.    And really there's not many places left that are going to hire an artist for even conceptual or illustration work without at least some elementary knowledge of 3D CG.

So here we are.  I'm messing around with Sculptris and starting to dabble with Zbrush to have advanced options with the the models.    Yup, this is probably an ugly model but I hope to get better.   I've always heard how painters can easily transition into sculpting and 3D work because they already think that way.  I personally attest to just the opposite.      It's probably going to be a long, long battle ahead before I can make something somewhat presentable.  Here's to getting better. 

Reprise

re-thinking an older pic that has been annoying me.   the progress so far. 

Work in Progress Comparison

Work in progress shot of the new Cherry vs the dreadful first version.

Re-Draw

The last painting wasn't working out for many reasons, so it's onward with a re-draw and re-paint.

hooray for more screen real estate.  

Close but...

Tried to finish this up before leaving for California this morning.  Something to come home to and work on next week.

May 18 WIP

Moving slower on this illo than I'd like to be.   Hopefully kicking it up a notch and will have it done soon.   Also giving Painter 12 a shot. 

Changes changes changes

Cherry was not looking human.  Not to mention I wasn't happy with Anita's pose or the flimsy background.  Cherry's looking better.  So now to make the background larger and push forward. 

Making Changes

going around and making some changes to the beast.  Probably the last work in progress shot before the final.
