Tried the clip studio paint screen tones on this one to try and get that manga look (I think I over did it a little bit). Could spent more time adding details but I think for now the 3 point perspective concept is clear, so for me as a practice is already finished, might add some more details in the future but for now gotta keep going.

To get a clearer image enlarge it, for some reason when the website loads it for second time it looks pretty bad. Guess I wont use screentones for this course practices.
(based of a great minas tirith reference)

edit: Here is the same image without screen tones applied (it's as easy as toggling it on/off in csp, amazing):

Here comes another assigment. The 4 point perspective is so far the biggest challenge I've come across perspective-wise. First I created the character on the 8 head guide boxes and then translated it to the 4 point perspective guides. Then for the complete drawing I added more lines and boxed in the facehugger in a pose that could make sense with the composition. I'm happy with the end result but I'll probably come back after I complete the light and color videos so I can do some cool light and ambient effects on this one.

I've been really busy this pass few days with work but I'll try my best to finish rendering both portraits and hopefully complete term 3 before March ends.

First cloth study. My parents have a reproduction of this painting in their living room and I thought it could be a good reference to study the folds and diferent stiffnes on cloths. It's the Saint Casilda from Francisco de Zurbarán (the private collection one), for those interested.

For this one I used only the smudge brush provided in Marc's brush pack and I'm quite surprised that a result can come out convincing enough by just using one brush.

Here are the assigments for the Anatomy 2 class. I really like anatomy study so this were some fun practices.

I'll try to get done the second cloth study and the cloth over naked models assigment by sunday.

edit: fixed the 4th model as the lines weren't accurate on her right pectoral. Also squished a bit the right serratus from pov and expanded a bit the pectoral so it didn't look as weird on the 3rd muscle mannequin, for me it still looks kinda weird but I'll probably make fixes (if needed) on the anatomy 3 and 4 assigment.

2nd cloth study:

Kinda rough if you look at it directly but overall the folds and the feel of cloth works.I think I'll have to do some trousers/jeans on the cloth over naked models assigment as I focused too much on gowns studies.

Here are the two cloth over naked models assigment. Not my best works but at this point the assigments are getting harder and harder, to the point that I think I'll have to create some kind of daily routine of things that I still need to improve, this is clearly one of them.

First assigment of anatomy III, will focus now on doing some hands and feet from different angles.

Almost at the end of anatomy assigments. These were really fun to do, I really like doing hands, feet not so much as they are less expressive (as expressive as a flattened banana can get). I'll probably render the "creation of Adam"'s hands this weekend.

Also dropping both light assigments, first one was quite easy so I tried to reshape and move a little bit the shapes shown in the demostration for the second assigment, this is the one that took me the most time as I had to completely restart the sphere shadow to get a convincing result.

Well... I couldn't wait to the weekend to render it. I used some oil and canvas effect brushes for this one, you can see that I started to figured them out with the right hand, I wanted to leave it like that cause it's kinda cool to look at the learning progress from one hand to another. (It's easier to appreciate the differences in polish when zooming in)

So... It's been quite some time since my last update. Long story short, I got a part time job related to my previous studies, also I really wanted to finish the blender course I enrolled into from gamedev in order to get some experience with this tool, not only because is free and zbrush is quite expensive but because I found an incredible useful tool on the cubebrush asset shop. Anyways, here are the result I got out of this course:

These first images are lowpoly sculps, I wouldn't call them sculpts as they are mostly extrusions and some edge refinements.

Then a couple of animations, also learnt how to insert textures on models.

And finally some sculpting, I based this sculpt off this course assigment, in the future I'll try to make the figure sculpt on zbrush (now they only offer 14 trial days...):

This last one was based off a quick sketch I did based on imagination:

Not exactly 1:1 but I think it turned out quite nice, I feel that the fundamentals are starting to kick in as I could create this goblin out of pure imagination.
