Brand new Derek!

I decided to start modelling the head from a tutorial on Digital Tutors because it allows you to model shape the head exactly how you want it. I think this will eventually work out better when I've finished, although this is taking a lot longer than I thought. Also, I am going to apply the hair on the character after the head is shaped.























I just wish I wasn't working tonight so I could finish him :o( I'm on a roleeeeeeeeeeeee!

Really unhappy with this...

I am NOT happy with my character modelling at all. I suppose it is my first attempt at character modelling but the face is an odd shape and it doesn't look anything like my drawing. The body isn't too bad but it doesn't have to personality that I wanted to achieve. Maybe if textures were applied it might not look as bad, but anyway... I am starting again today (PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT) - I hope!!!

I have also subscribed to Digital Tutors, it's very exciting! wooooooo!

This time I will blog stages of the modelling of my character....
