First 3D Character class

First class in 3D Character class

We are hitting the ground running, I must have the sketches started and finished yesterday. The good thing is that I have already finished my character development and basic sketches during holiday.

I will now be working on the Character Portrait, Bio, Development, and Mood-boards. I will also be stating what genre I will have and the audience I am aiming to make this for.

Here is the character concept idea's I came up with in the holiday's

With 3D work, I must now consider lighting in a 3D way

Lighting reflections - Speculator reflection

Shadow - both direct in indirect

Value and Contrast

Distance

Note; Try thinking in shapes and not lines. It will give a better result. Also, a good rule to follow when creating lighting is 3-point lighting.
