Tutorial

I have aquired a couple of Gnomon tutorial Dvds to help me with my robot design. I was previously modelling but i think the model i started on was going slightly pear shaped so i decided to go back to the drawing board and start again acording to wht the tutorial told me to. The one i saw was by Feng Zhu who showed me how to refine a robot desing through the use of thumbnail sketches, working quickly and without much attention to detail while maintaining the confidence that these drawings are not meant to be seen by anyone but myself, i can go through a variety of many designs and come out with something inventive after going through all the other options.
I chose to use a different technique to what Feng Showed in the tutorial, opting to design my creation one part at a time and carrying my favourate ideas along with me. As you can see, this design process shows a very dramatic change in style and the progression shown is very pronounced. This was because part way through the tutorial Fen showed us designing the figures from silhuetes, which i found to be a very useful and effective way to go about things.
