But tomorrow cause I am too lazy tonight
I literally restarted from scratch this afternoon and got a better result finished around an hour ago
Sometimes that's how it goes tbh
Tryina make little edits can be monotonous as fuck in comparison to just starting over
Yeah, there’s also the fact that sometimes you learn things as you go so when you restart, you can put those things into practice early-on
That too
Knowing how to set pivot points to the active element helped so goddamned much when making the dome shape
This was 4 years ago. I really miss doing ceramics
This one the head exploded a bit when it was fired though oof
I ended up just rolling with it and using glaze to glue the pieces of forehead back on which actually kinda worked tbh
I don’t have any experience in ceramics, is it like hand-sculpted spinning wheels?
No spinning wheels lol
The thing pots are made on, I don’t know what they’re called
For masks I would take a hunk of newspaper and shape it vaguely to what I needed, make it really hard to use as a bit of a mold I guess? Not sure the proper wording
I dont know either, I didnt do many pots
LOL
I should have thinned out the forehead though because it ended up getting really thick. And then there's the obvious anatomical mistakes I didnt understand back then but I am still kinda proud of it for being in highschool at the time
I think if I were to make a mask of ceramics or clay, it would be far more angular, almost as if the art style for Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure were on an actual facr
Then again, I like angular things
I like angular stuff as well, I'd only done ceramics for a year though
Made me kinda sad because I was getting better and better. Buuuut I'll be able to do it again soon.
Gonna have to relearn though
That was one of the last things I did before I graduated, I think.
Here's an old drawing from the same time though
Apparently a newer version
I need to get back into doing more traditional stuff tbh
Nice, I couldn’t even dream of drawing stuff like that
I doubt that's true, anyone can draw given enough time
Besides I still have glaring issues with anatomy as it stands 4 years later
😅
For some reason when I do studies things turn out mostly normal. But as soon as I start trying to apply that to a drawing with clothes or anything added it falls apart
My problem is a scaling issue, hands are twice the size of the head, and fatter than the Pillsbury Dough Boy
I have a rigged drawing reference in blender that I take screenshots with, but even with that, accessories like guns, weapons and armour are hard to draw for me
I have a hard time with perspective and keeping the whole picture in mind
