Vintage Phone
My phone is almost finished now, just a few small fixes and the wire to go. I've learnt a lot during the process of making this model, and I'm really proud of it.
Critique session
This week's crit was very helpful, I got some good feedback on how I could improve the structure of my phone model, and seeing others' approaches to the problem was also very helpful. I need to start bringing wireframe versions of my models to crit sessions so that the group can see the geometry of the model. We went through a lot of theory around 3D and I also got some great advice on some personal pieces about aspects like clashing colours that I hadn't really thought about when I was making them.
Study
An environment study I did this week. I was particularly looking at colour for this study, and at establishing a good workflow. I made a mistake in this piece by starting with the foreground, I think, it's much more fluid to start with the background and work forwards. Also, I want to try blocking in the whole image with tools like the lasso tool and working from there, instead of working piece by piece with a brush. I did use a hard brush and some gradient overlays to set down rough shapes, but I feel like I fell back into old habits very quickly on this. That said, I'm really happy with how the mood of this turned out, and I think I really learnt a lot about colour here.
