Somebody commenting asking what the baggy was…

Found an awesome site to help me with the drawings, it does almost everything I wanted to use the game Dreams for. So have started trying another go at VIXI. Will update in a lil’ bit with a drawing I’m working on of VIXI that I am very proud of.

This is the first time in a long time that I got a drawing that I think is representative of what I want the finished product to look. The site I used for references was sketchfab. It is a marketplace for game creators with 3D assets, but it allows you to rotate in 360 degrees and has pretty much anything you could hope to find, many of it photo realistic because a lot of it is made by taking photos and putting them in some sort of program that turns them into a 3D object (not really sure the process, but it is cool as hell to look at).

The problem I always had with references is that the perspective and angles and stuff didn’t ever match. If I found a building that looked like what I want the background to be and I found a guy in the pose I want the camera angles would never match up and it would look unnatural. Now I get to put the camera wherever I want and one picture of a car can give me any possible angle I will ever need in the future (to keep continuity). Been just surfing the site and saving things I think may be useful, including some for Zoe. Did this drawing in about 3hrs today. Used 3 references from that site as well as a google photo for the crime scene tape.

I highly recommend the site for any artists out there. Even if you want to draw without cheating a bit the way I do there are tons of scans of real people if you want to practice life drawing (both clothed and nude).
