So, honestly, sculpting is really really hard. Or rather it’s really easy to do, but difficult to do well? Something like that. What I am saying is that this is a skill that is going to take just an incredible amount of practice, or at least that’s how it seems right now. Of course, that’s kind of the point of all of this, if these were skills that I could just sit down and learn in a day then I wouldn’t need to devote full months just to learning the basics.
That being said, the modeling project I’ve been working on may have to get shelved for later. While I’m assuming its been good practice, I’m also very strongly getting the impression that it is way beyond my current skill level, and that continuing to bang my head against it is just going to be counterproductive, both for my learning curve and my morale. Someday I’ll come back and conquer it, but sadly today is not that day.
And with *that* being said, I was prepared to end out the day, and this blog entry with a few more hours of practice under my belt, several more training videos watched, but otherwise nothing to show for the day’s work. And then I realized what day it was, and I knew what I had to do.
After all, you should always know where your towel is.
Now, I can’t claim full credit for this. I did make it, but I was very closely following this tutorial. Still, following tutorials doesn’t always get you the best of results and I did go with my own color scheme, so that should count for something.
