Life Drawing - study on digital shading

 

Style Lockdown

 I am slowly making my way to a complete style that I could use for future projects. I am very happy to have finally been able to implement light color onto the toon shading. The shader is still incomplete, as it does not support interchangeable texture mapping, or color mapping for the ramps. But once I figure that out, the shader will be complete. 

The next step will be to introduce mapping for 
- Roughness

- Metallic

- Emission

- Normal/Bump

There is still a lot of grease pencil/rigging complications that are hard to predict. I think practice will be important. 

Grease Pencil animatable 3d Character

 Messing Around with grease Pencil. 
I am trying to find a way to animate a grease pencil puppet. I think I have found a 2d 3d animation hybrid that I am happy with. 

While modeling I felt like I was making some character from ff7...

Gotta do some more testing, as well as really understand how to make the grease pencil look good in 3d.
