Adam, Thanks man, not sure if the peterson Gumroads are worth it, from what I remember they were pretty expensive and didn't go into too much depth, it's was basically, you can draw some primitive shapes and cut away at them/ overlay details on 'em. it was cool to see the kinds of things you can draw using it though, I think it's defiantly a good way to approach any drawing.

Back again after another long absence. I'm so shit at keeping this up to date, it,s usually the first thing that drops off when I get too busy. so quick update. I've moved house and now have access to a mac, so I'm hoping to start streaming soon (something my old shitty laptop couldnt handle).  been working on a portfolio and going through all the gumroads from the guys at Naughty Dog. learning a bit of 3D too, Blender because I can't afford modo

so my first two portfolio pieces 

I'll probably redo the stagecoach one again from scratch, looking back on it now I can see a lot wrong with it and it generally just doesn't look finished.

Both of them took about a week to finish, starting out with a  basic 3D base made in blender and then detailed out in photoshop using a combo of photobashing and painting. 

the 3d bits 

For the western picture, the 3D stage coach is a sketchup model from their warehouse. still aint sure what the rules are for using warehouse models as part of your blockmesh so for the next image I model the bike myself in blender. It took me a little over a week because I was learning how as I went along, but I love working in 3D.

the 3d Model, you can see it and move it around in 3D here

so that Bike was the same one a drew on my last post for GoodGuysBadGuys, I did a neat line work pass in photoshop and a quick paint before I tryed to modelled it in blender 

 

So on top of the Naughty Dog Gumroads I also picked up a couple Mike Hill's after watching a few of his Industry workshops, I got them mainly just because I like the guy. they are really good, I love his opinions on thumbnails and how he approaches a brief.

this is a quick sketch I did after watching one them (the other use a lot of 3D, will probably be a while before I have a use for it)



I did a bit of inktober too, but quit pretty early on, maybe next year. they are all up on my insta
