You may already be doing this, but I've found that for myself, if I've been doing a lot of stuff based off of starting with blocking in shapes and large values and refining from there, I can sort of feel a bit of a level up if I go the opposite approach for a while - as in hitting the line drawing side of things as my main basis for a while (weeks? months? just until you start to feel a little comfortable with it) and then come back to the shapes. It just forces you to keep on thinking about your forms, edges, values - everything, in new ways. Anyway, that's just my approach that I've been doing the past 6 months or so and I like the results every time I make the switch even though it can be a little frustrating at first.
Keep pushing it and post more!
Thanks Pierce!
That sounds like a great thing to do. I was getting away from doing line work. just seemed like a slower process than shapes. Guess I'll add it to my rotation.
Trying to apply everything I think I know into things out of my comfort zone, which would be... character ports I guess.
Thoughts?
