Finally, after devoting all of my Spring semester and Summer Session I into this project, I am happy to say I have passed and defended my capstone! Pan Dulce for the win 🥐
My project depicts the nostalgia of family traditions and appreciation towards the Hispanic and Mexican cuisine of pan dulce, or sweet bread! I am responsible for all aspects in the final render. This was definitely a challenging project to depict, especially when it came to modeling and surfacing organic foods. However, I am forever grateful to my professors, mentors, and peers for their constant guidance, advice and support throughout so I could achieve the best outcome possible in my process!
This project has allowed me to better appreciate my Hispanic roots and the tasteful cuisine of pan dulce. I hope to keep going with similar projects like this into the future, making more pan dulce assets and one day model a 3D environment of a Mexican panadería 🥐!
All assets were modeled in AutoDesk Maya and surfaced in Substance Painter and Pixar’s Renderman, post effects and compositing done in Nuke.
Meet Samuel Sage. A successful tech entrepreneur and the protagonist of my upcoming visual novel. He is a man of integrity, intelligent, witty, and passionate.
But what you may find more interesting is that he is created completely using 3D modelling software and Photoshop.
Here is a series of images from different stages in the development of this character.
The final touches were applied using Photoshop to make the rendered character match the toon-shaded look of the background scene.
I really love your art style! ♥️ Do you have any recommendations for tutorials on learning to draw digitally? I know I could just look at little micro tutorials but I’m autistic so I need really specific instructions step by step to get started
Hey thanks! Honestly I am not good at digital art as much as traditional. Also, this question is pretty vague and you havent reblogged/liked anything of mine so Im not sure which artwork you might be referring to... if you mean pixel art, digital paintings, commissions Ive done, etc
But, I have a HUGE tag full of art resources that are 90% for digital art because I also had a really hard time getting started!
If you want to scroll through my #art ref tag, I have been compiling resources for almost a decade.
Here is a small tutorial Ive been pulling up for years to look at whenever I forget how to digitally paint, that just shows exactly how the artist does layering, shading, etc
Also, Tutor Tuesday is a BUNCH of tutorials that are all about very specific things (hair, faces, animals, lining in general, sketching in general, you name it) , in fully illustrated guides so you can see step-by-step how to do it. This is the best resource I can find for beginning digital art
Also check the users I reblog tutorials from, if the above aren't really what youre looking for. Drawingden, etheringtonbrothers, and art-tutorials-n-references are all good pages to follow if you want to see more guides!
Feel free to message me if you want to see more of my processes, I might have some old pics or videos I can share!
