Crankshaft's Sketchbook

Thanks man! I don't know if I can finish it though. Just sooo boring.

Update on my warthog. Crazy hard juggling design, function, proportions, and learning modelling all at the same time. But it's crazy fun. I'm beginning to wonder how much farther I would be if I committed 100 % to hard surface in the first place.

Updates. You know, usual junk.

Awesome! Silly fun! But I have to do studies.




Still life. But I want to design vehicles.


Couldn't figure out the shapes while modelling (too much juggling) so I did an over paint in ps then I'll model it. Figuring out the door was a nightmare. But I have to study anatomy.

Anatomy. But I want to build cars.

Updates. Lots of stuff.

Bike rim and tire.


Finally finished this still life. Did learn a lot even though I fell asleep constantly. I find I learn more by creating my own projects.



Anatomy. Struggling to understand the position of the lady's hips so any help would be great.

Did a paintover over a block model of the trailer. I realize trying to juggle modeling and design at the same time was impossible.

Some of reference I used for inspiration and info. Study from life right?


I've also been looking at some of my favorite artists and trying to deconstruct their work. I really need to up the fidelity of my designs so I've been looking more at Alexey Pyatov.


Warthog. Really difficult to make a person could get in and out and that the door could open properly.

Wow, that's a lot of work there that you're juggling with, crank. I don't know how you keep track of it all.
And yes, my favourite is still that cuddly toy. That soft texture is really well done.

More updates. Still no progress. What do you do when you put in effort but make no progress?

Worked on the turret for the warthog. I love building stuff. Gotta improve my iterative skills.
