25 Wheel Challenge
5:44 PM, Wednesday December 18th 2024
I started with this being my most unsure challenge yet. Mainly because of the ellipse template. The instructions were perfectly clear for the tires themselves. I overcame it by trying some wheels with the ellipses and then enjoyed doing each wheel!
Where I found the ellipses limiting was when I couldn't use a smaller but more open ellipse for the edge of the tire that's farther away from in perspective and ended up using ellipses of same degree but smaller size.
Thanks to this challenge, all I notice when walking around is wheels! Where I failed terribly was trying to use some textures to do the tires' tread! I couldn't for the life of me figure how to do it. Although I know that I can use the technique of making the texture sparse as it gets far off so that our brains can fill it, I for some reason couldn't get it. I ended up using marks all the way around I guess. If you can point to a few examples of doing that on a few different treads than just one, I'd enjoy doing such stuff, the next time I go around doing DAB after a few months or years or may be on my drawings that I do after DAB or when doing the 50/50! Thanks in advance!
