Rendering Exercise – Spaceships

Share

I’ve been in a funk lately. Doing the same thing over and over. Sketching the same way, looking at things the same way. I hate getting stagnant. So, in an effort to change I’ve been doing these. Each one took roughly between 7 & 15min. These arent the greatest and ive seen concept artist do them faster and cleaner, but its been fun and it’s a great exercise.

In the next week or two I’m going to throw up a  video showing a few of these. (If I have enough time Ill clean one up and add some detail) Keep your eyes peeled!

    Not that it will be very applicable to your sketching skills, but a lot of these designs would look great as practice sculpts in ZBrush.  Maybe I’ll steal one or two. :)
