ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

[xelfereht]

Long time no update..
I've finished up on some client work.
have too many work in progress pieces, nothing much worth showing.
have taken up blender recently. trying to learn enough to make some 3D printable sculpts.
here's my first attempt at a bust, based on one of my paintings
hope to improve it a fair bit more
the program tool functions, processes and hotkeys are a bigger hurdle than the sculpting itself.
feels promising so far so I hope this will be an avenue I can go down to work independently.

I've had allot of struggle with tablet issues in the last several months really messing with my productivity.
my Cintiq 24HD screen went out. I don't have the spare funds to have it repaired just now.
I opted to get an XP-pen 24 inch so I could continue my client work but I was having horrible cursor glitches and doing the work was a real ton of frustration. Months later I finally found disabling the tilt function on the pen reduced the glitch occurrence greatly, so I can hopefully enjoy painting again instead of Pain-ting.

hope you are all well



Oh and some products I did some illustrations for have started appearing on shelves around the country, which is nice.




And someone in Russia got a tattoo of one of my paintings. also nice..
