JosephCow - Thanks! :) I don'tt think the cracks and wood rendering took ttoo long in the grand scheme of things actually, I was using the process from Swatches Academy to help me with the wood and found it helped reduce the total time it would have ttaken me otherwise. With the words in the book I actually just arranged it all in photoshop on a text layer (using copilot to help me make up some random looking fantasy text) and warped to get the perspective right, then I just printed it onto a piece of paper, put oil paint on the back and did a transfer to my surface using a pen :)
one_two - Thanks for the kind words :)
Crowbit - Hahaha cheers!
Jephyr - Aww thanks! glad you like them
Ok back with some more work. I've been working through the Materials Rendering Course from Swatches Academy. Actually bought the course ages ago and made a start on itt but other work got in the way and it got put on the back burner. Thought I'd spend a few weeks now working through the entiretty of the course as I will help me finish off the character design that I posted last time.
Week 1 - Stone and Wood
Here's my attempt at creating some stone squares and wooden boards with a breakdown for each stage - and then trying to apply those princples to some simple forms that the course provides the line work for.




I think it looks ok? for a firstt attempt atleast, my digital skills can use some improving but I'm hoping that since I can paint decently tradtionally that I can pick this up quicker.
As I said my plan was to spend tthe next few weeks working through the whole course and then come back to each lesson seperately, do some more studies, and have another crack at these homeworks before I attemptt the final homework for the course which is to create a prop scene.
