René Aigner's Sketchbook

Thanks Sketchosoph!

Good to hear that Sagittarius! Yes, I recorded that vid a loooong time ago (it feels like that at least). By today's standards, what with gumroad and so on, it's not great and I ramble way too much, but I'm always glad to hear people found it useful. I've been planning to do a second part about the importance of painting from life- for a long time. I hope I find the time at some point, I can't say when though :/
It's a lamp I found in a friend's apartment when I was on vacation there and I just had to recreate it(yes, i take a laptop with MOI3D on vacation :D ).

What helped me most was that you showed your bad drawings. I realized making bad drawings was just a part of the process. Scott Robertson had the same effect when I saw how he handled messing up a line or something- "that's okay, I just need more practice." I look forward to any further tuts from you!

Wow, badass lamp, I want one. :D What model laptop do you carry on vacation? Pro notebook? Guess it pays to always be prepared! BTW, I notice that a lot of artists seem to have skills both with 2d and 3d art. I was always far more interested in painting than in 3d, but I'm wondering now- would you say 3d is something a modern artist should know? What is it best used for?
