Portrait Study

A couple of days ago I finished another portrait study.  I think it turned out alright.  I really want to say that I've done enough of these that I can create a character from the top of my head with out relying heavily on reference photos.

I know that I have to work on facial features a little more and the hair of in the portrait can get difficult to recreate.

Here is the latest portrait study...

Study, Study, Study

I've been trying to learn how to model, rig, and animate my own character for a long time now.  It's been a lot of self training.  Thankfully there is a lot of material online.  Work takes up a lot of my time so learning has been taking a lot longer than I want it to.

One thing I know for sure is I can't wait until I know enough to fully create a character without having to worry about learning the process of making one.  WORKFLOW, that's something that I'm trying to create and memorize.  Once I have my own process down I think can produce a lot of work.

I think that level of knowledge will give me the confidence to start and finish more and more personal projects.  Hopefully after that I can get a job and ultimately be where I want to be.  I want to do this stuff full time.  Working with a studio is the main goal.
