Speedmodel #001 - Designer Chair

Hello, my first "speedmodel" since I started the course 3D Art. 

It's a basic of the basics course. Our first assignment was to make some furniture. So I made a designer chair after a reference image. Rendered with VRay.

Concept Art #001

A concept of a spaceship.
No reference
My own design:

I was building on the design that's on the bottom first, but I took a chance and cut the top out because the perspective was wrong. Flipped it and ended with the picture on top.

Cube Study III

I trained some more on using values and drawing boxes. Decided to find a picture of a boxman of some sort. Looked up one on deviantArt Found a picture made by antontang  That I used for reference for the boxes.

I then used 10 printed out pieces of paper with grayscale from white to black to figure out the value of the figure on the photo. By placing one and one of them next to the photo and squinting my eye I can see the real values and not get tricked by the eye. Which is easy to do...

 

New Header Image

I found out I had to make a header for this page. It's inspired by a portfolio page I found some time back with cool 3D letters like these on, but I cant find it I'm afraid :(

Anyway, this is drawn in Painter using airbrush and pens mostly, used some time on it. It's not quite finished, but I got so bored of it because I didn't get the edges as soft and rounded as I wanted. So I had to just upload it for now, and see if I make any changes later. (Most probably will not, I guess I'll make a new one :P

Deviantart Account

I also have a Deviantart account where I upload most of my work as well.

If you are creative and don't have a page yet, I suggest you create one, it's amazing how others creativity can get you inspired to do more things =) And it's an excellent page to show your work on! =)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas, hope you all had a fantastic Christmas holiday and are pumped and ready to start a new year! =)

Ive been to busy working on a Christmas present running late. It is finished now finally but I cant upload it until it's given to the person :P So right now I started working on a header for this page that will hopefully be finished soon!

This will be the last hand upload for a while. Gonna focus on something else.

Hand Study V

Fifth hand study. It's starting to get quite boring, but the time I use on each one of them has shortened. But still a lot of them are quite crooked...

Hand Study IV

Fourth hand study. Still having problems making the hands look anything like normal. Some is good but some are just awful... I just draw one arm and don't "edit" it after I see the mistakes, I just try to correct them on the next drawing. Some drawn quick, some used some more time with. I even traced one from the http://idrawgirls.blogspot.com page. It has a nifty hand tutorial as mentioned earlier. I needed to trace it just to get the feel of the "original" that I where trying to draw.

Hand Study III

Just a new hand "pose" if I might call it that. I feel I suck at drawing hands. But I started to get more hang of it after a while...

Cube Study II

Made some papercraft cubes and used Munsell's color map to define the values of the cubes. Worked quite nice but both the chart I printed and the cubes had bad quality, so I'll have to go make new ones tomorrow!

Hand Study II

My second hand study. Tried drawing the same hand over and over again, "concept art style" that means dropping most details, focus on speed.

It was hard. I will have to continue later but this was the result after trying and failing. Some I tried to do really fast. Others I used some more time on...

Thanks to this site for the tutorial and having a marvelous site! Highly recommended!
