Week 8 additional notes

I've added some short and simple design notes

Homework Wk 8

Pick 1-3 props to do. (ex. mech, weapons, tv, lamp..etc)

Do 5 thumbnails for each prop you are going to concept, how finished the thumbnails are is up to you. They can be black and white shapes or rendered, even colored.

I will post some simple design notes over the weekend so keep an eye out for that.

Wk 7 Homework

WK 7 homework

Finish your character, colored and rendered. Email me for any questions and paintovers. Use reference!

Gather reference for your prop design and put it on one sheet (ex. weapons, vehicles, mech, flower vase, PDA....etc ).

HW for week 6, refine the greyscale characters again....(sorry thought the hw was posted already)

Wk 5 Notes and paintovers are up from Class

WK 6 Homework

Pick 1-3 character thumbnails and refine it to a more finished b+w stage, as far as you can take it. You can use photo textures if you want to speed up the rendering.

Wk4 Additional Character Noes

Added wk 4 character notes under "class notes". Mainly went over things that I didn't get a chance to go over in class. I kept it very simple because it will get more complicated as we refine the characters.

WK 4 Homework

-think of 2-3 different characters to thumbnail out

-do 5-7 thumbnail explorations for each character (make sure all the thumbnails are different enough at a glance)....how detail it is is up to you but should be readable.

-do any revisions you need to your environment paintings if you want

make sure to look at reference for poses and anatomy...etc.

check out this pinterest for some good character reference for poses, anatomy...etc.....there are some nudes so its NSFW by the way

WK 3 Homework

Homework for WK 3:

2 finished Environment Paintings -  Either from your thumbnails/BW or new ones as long as the image are finished, take it as far as you can go. Please email me or Daniel if you get stuck trying to finish an image and we can give you feedbacks

Start thinking about a character you would like to design, gather some reference on one sheet.

If you are behind just take 1 image as far as you can, either b+w or color.

Additional Notes for WK 2

I posted some notes for the paintovers we did in the beginning of the class, its at the bottom of you guy's pages. In the class note section there are some notes on color. Remember don't be afraid to post work in progress (WIP) for crits before class. Or email me for feedback if you don't want to post it on here yet.

WEEK2 homework

-Refine one of your b+w thumbnails
-Do 3 color thumbnails

-Pick one thumbnail from either the color or
b+w thumbnails and refine it more in color

-extra: do 3-5 color film studies, full value.
basically copy the screenshot exactly.

I will be updating the class notes section as the week goes on so make sure to check it out for extra notes.

WEEK 1 Homework

 Week 1 HW:

5 greyscale film studies (you can add more values if you want, if you want to do more than 5 studies that would be great too)

3-5 greyscale environment thumbnails like in the demo (you can do more if you want) Subject matter is up to you.

Framefilter blogspot is a good site for screenshots

Also check the class notes section for some examples of the things that I talked about in class.
