Alrighty, so im feeling a lot better about my poses, now i need to look more into design and how to make nicer shapes. So il be studying some leyendecker and reading up more on character design.
Couple things i was reading about shapes like and contrast; for instance, my gay cowboy here which i did no planning on, my adding rippled clothes probably doesnt go best with his character. A character that is more sinister would probably have more ripped clothes, im just doing it as a copout because i havent practiced drapery in a while ;). I guess ill try to do another cowboy type to apply what i study tomorrow so i can not get too random and keep it simple. Ill also start with an ideal and find a face before drawing the pose, and add the costume on in a planning phase.
Also workin up these roses from watts, has been quite fun. Using the Zorn palette, but i cheated a little and added some cerulean blue since i was struggling to mix such mauve greys. Im letting them dry before i go and lay in more petals since its hard to work wet into wet when youre going for very delicate textures and especially big white globs of paint. Oil painting just makes sense to me from all the digital, i mean its different but way more fulfilling and people around me seem to put more value in it since its an image that you can hold in your hands.
I was also trying to get 3d coat to work and even bought it and it had worked before just fine, but now its not it just keeps crashing when i open it. All this despite having a totally smooth 2 hr session sculpting yesterday. Ive tried everything they recommended in support and nothing worked, ol Fedo luck lol. I really am going to have to get a new rig at some point because i really want to do 3d. I suppose ill just keep using this time to improve in 2D and hopefully make enough to invest in a better computer that can handle 3d.
