I’m posting a day early this week as tomorrow is all about the mothers, at least in the UK anyway

Perspective:

The main focus this week has been CHAPETER 04: CREATING GRIDS of Scotty Rob’s HTD book also threw in some exercises for the 2point combo and curve projection thingy – I didn’t really do that many while making my way through CHAPTER 03 so trying to make up for it a lil’ bit




I could uplode more of the early perspective studies but this sketchbook is on the bland side of boring already

So about the grids, I’m gonna go out on a limb any say I don’t think using ellipses to make a grid of squares is not the best method when working digitally –traditionally I get it, paper is only so big and ellipse guides exist. With photoshop’s ability to transform shapes, work off the canvas and lack of ellipse guides I think it’s quicker and more accurate (there is an element of guess work creating the ellipse depending how long you wanna take) to just construct a full perspective frame work that can be manipulated as you go.

This be what I'm doing:

Spoiler

I’ll show how I use this and find the measure points in my next my next post (took way long to make and now I have to rush to work). I got how to find the measure point from these videos

How to render: still working on cast shadows




Design: More planes




Faces (still not a big focus, just half and hour a day)




Some face painting I’ve done since the new year (I’ve since gone to just using black and white)






Right off to work!
