Sketchbook: Limeforce
polycounter lvl 7
Hey there! This forum seems like a great place to learn as a 3d-artist. It's been fascinating to check out other people's progression. I'm starting a sketchbook, critique is welcome and appreciated!
These sketches are me trying out ideas for a mountainous fantasy level that I hope to implement in Cryengine when I'm more skilled.

Took me a good seven hours. Key takeaway: don't zoom! Or if you must, only zoom as little as possible to maintain a sense of where things are positioned. Luckily I only got stuck doing incorrect details a couple of times, I had just heard someone mention that in a Youtube video. There's a pic of the scene included as well (taken after painting).

If someone is experiencing similar frustrations: a key tip that has helped me a lot is taping a piece of paper on top of the Intuos. It does not interfere with the pressure-sensitive surface but stops my hand from not sliding due to sweating. The texture of paper feels more familiar too. The rest of the difficulty seems to be due to not looking where the hand is and the mismatch between the tablet and the screen in resolution and aspect ratio. I'm slowly getting used to it. The only cure seems to be practice, practice and practice.
Here's another piece from the concept art course we're currently doing at school -- the guy on the right is definitely my favorite.
