Hmmm

Oh yeah, ref gathering - browing google images all day - my favorite...

If want to be even specific in concept art, you could factor in the usual cliches of creatures, environments, technology, accessories. material indication, master studies and experimentation, however they cross roads with some of the fundemental topies you've listed.

08 Feb 12:42

Mayenla

so many things to do!

08 Feb 12:41

Mayenla

Might put something in there for library building :P

08 Feb 12:36

Mayenla

Ah yes! Adding that, ty ty :)

imagination V important!

08 Feb 12:33

Mayenla

Putting yourself around like minded people is great though :) really does motivate

08 Feb 12:33

Mayenla

What else? :P

08 Feb 12:33

Mayenla

:P I'm trying to list all the fundamentals, I have: Anatomy, Composition, Color and Light, Perspective + Industrial Design

It's not just networking I;m doing on fb it's simply keeping myself motivated with like minded folks, although I rarely even post.

I started with ron lemens gnomon dvd on head drwaing ans its brillant.

08 Feb 12:31

Mayenla

which I fail at -__-

08 Feb 12:31

Mayenla

Yeah networking is key imo

And what no better way to learn then to enter illustration comps and facrbook groups.

08 Feb 12:31

Mayenla

Nice :) I think I'm gonna start by studying from books, Loomis, How To Draw etc

08 Feb 12:29

Nous

So I've had to make a course on how to actually execute the fundementals. This as you have found out takes time to customise!

08 Feb 12:29

Mayenla

I'll give it a go and see if it needs adjusting!

08 Feb 12:29

Nous

Looking through other peoples studies who've made it, I reaslise how far behind I am , which is good because now it's keeps me permanetly motivated

08 Feb 12:28

Mayenla

Ahh nice, yeah I'm setting one up now using Daves as a guide :) But more focus on the fundamentals

08 Feb 12:26

Nous

I've saved a few work schedules from that forum onto my comp, wotek fuss had a good one, where you could customise it. His osd is no longer available but I altered it in ps.

08 Feb 12:25

Nous

it's not bad but one thing I notice is that he doesn't factor in industrial design, I suppose the personal could under the title "imaginative also".

08 Feb 12:23

Mayenla

Yeah I need loads of work in all the fundamentals :P such a long way to go!

08 Feb 12:23

Mayenla

I'm thinking of just using Daves: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/MrDelici...e.jpg.html

Its best that i narrow my focus even though I'm bursting with ideas I can only execute half assed unless I level up on foundational studies. Thus anatomy, form, composition, color and light have become a point of my research.

08 Feb 12:22

Mayenla

Yeah see I'd like to be on that road too, hard to workout where to start

08 Feb 12:21

Nous

I'm trying to figure out a schedule for illustration aka applibot or wizards, and its taken me time to even figure that much out!

08 Feb 12:21

Mayenla

Yeah I've been doing a lot of pixel art, but I want to get better at digital painting too :( and art/anatomy in general

08 Feb 12:21

Nous

Good point, but you have focused on pixal art correct?
