Hey all!
This week I drew through various Insects. I intended on doing at least 3 for this set but the organic lines were killing me so hard that I just couldn't pull it off. But I'll go at it again next week!!
The Dragonfly I constructed straight from a sideview with basically the X-Y-Z Section Drawing techniques from H2D, worked pretty well. For the beetle I did almost the same, but also used a ground plane to define the width. The shadow on the dragonfly is super off I think. Since I eyeballed a good amount while constructing the wings, it was hard to make a precise shadow. Will be more careful next time. I learned my lesson :)
As far as presentation goes I tried to apply a little bit of value and I think it looks alright. The rest is pretty basic, I didn't add a lot of detail or texture but in retrospective I think it would have helped a lot.
But all in all, the construction was okay, definitely getting somewhere I feel.
Also Autoronin sent me a link to an interesting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spjyqpHI...&index=213
What are you working on?
