Does anybody else use your own sculptures to create compositions/original pieces? I started doing it this year.
>>7863793that's really cool work. I did dabble back when james gurney released his book imaginative realism. but nothing detailed, home made play-doh to help with lighting some landscape forms. and some plasticine faces for drawing practice(sort of loomis heads)
>>7863810Yeah I based this on what Gourney did on Dinotopia. I have studied a lot and could never really use references in perspective and my compositions and shading were very inconsistent. So I started "copying myself"
Poussin, Tintoretto and El Greco also did it.
>>7864030I didn't know that. As I started a lot of stuff made much more sense. There is stuff you just can't study or reference in any other way.
>>7863812great work anon. so did all the sculpting help you with drawing 3d forms and perspective?
>>7863812Nice. Seeing as sculpture is less common on the bard, may as well ask here. Do you know any good resources for basic sculpting work?
>>7863793>another autistic begging for permission: the thread
>>7865073I see no such thing.
>>7863793so where's the piece?
>>7864990Thanks. It helps a lot because stuff seems less flat as it follows perspective, shape. The light is also consistent. I also have a better knack at sculpting than 2d so my characters are more interesting. It helps with composition and realisting bounced lights. In general It's a better workflow for me
>>7865004Not really, I have admired the work of spiderzero a lot and learned a lot from watching his pieces. Most of what I learned has been from studying anatomy and visual art in general. The tools I made or repurposed from wood carving tools.
>>7865088I haven't finished it but this one is based from sculpture
