Lesson 4: Applying Construction to Insects and Arachnids
5:43 PM, Monday January 3rd 2022
Hi everyone, here is my submission for lesson 4, together with the references I used - sorry for the hairy spider, and a big thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to critique :)
if I may preemptively comment some of these:
-
I'm still very frustrated with my sausages with contour lines, I struggle with varying the degree of the ellipses, fitting them inside the bounds and achieving smooth lines all at the same time, so I regularly practice doing them in my warm ups
-
I realize that I'm very heavy handed on the line weight sometimes, but don't hesitate to still mention it in your critique if you also feel that it is an issue, repetition doesn't hurt ;)
-
I'm also not super happy with my hairy spider, I probably should have been more subtle & intentional with my use of texture for the fur, it's kind of all over the place
-
a bit unhappy with some of my insects' legs as well, especially for those who had weird leg positions in the reference photos, the result is that their relation to one another in 3d space is not always entirely clear I feel
-
probably also overdid it with the contour lines in some instances, especially for the black widow's butt, er I mean abdomen
-
shadow silhouettes are riddle to me
