Chachava's 'Sketchbook'
#30
I've had a bit of a meltdown since Monday, for some reason something just seemed to kind of give up in my head, everything I tried looked like absolute garbage, even when I tried to do things which had seemed relatively easy a few days before. I couldn't even see where the problems were and I ended up getting really frustrated with things. Eventually I seemed to pull myself back a little bit yesterday and actually managed to get a pretty quick sketch done that wasn't absolutely atrocious.

It was based off a photo ref, but I tried not to directly copy it. It's a bit of a mess, but it's definitely the best of a bad few attempts.

Today however, I rather stupidly decided to try and build my confidence back up a bit more by.......trying to do something I have never been able to do, painting interiors, or more specifically Sci Fi interiors. Unsurprisingly I still couldn't do it, thankfully though it's not really knocked my confidence back at all, which I expected it to do.

I started with a simple google sketchup model, then tried to paint over that. As always though I just couldn't seem to get my head around it. All the flat surfaces kind of throw me a bit, as well as the lighting etc. I have a feeling I'm over thinking it (a problem I regularly have). If anybody has any advice on painting this kind of thing, or links to any videos showing other peoples techniques, they would be very much appreciated (I've had a brief look, but not really found a huge amount).

This is the 3D model I'm trying to work from.
