1) I cannot draw realistic looking machinery to save my life.
2) I have no real knowledge about how machinery works and thus cannot invent my own designs of machines to save my life.
Obviously, these are serious problems that must be rectified, but I'm not really sure how. Maybe I should go rooting through my old 'How Things Work' books and try to find some bulldozers or something, but even then, I'm not sure how to find any resources on how to design sci-fi weaponry and androids. Oh well. I'll figure something out.
Maybe I should just stare Doug Chiang's art until my eyeballs fall out of my head.
I've seen the work of your web comic and I have to say that I like the style a lot. I think that you will have one really good web comic when you are done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Casey, it's always good to have support from you guys. Getting the stuff out there is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
ReplyDeleteI have faith in you!
ReplyDeleteWatch movies with robots/gizmos/gadgets in them. Freeze the screen, sketch, watch, freeze, sketch, repeat. Just keep drawing until the basic gist of the objects, or the feel of them, is more natural; then you can go on your own tangents to make your own. Like how you have to draw so many faces from real life before you can really design your own.
ReplyDeletePlease don't do the last thing you mentioned. I don't want to have to sweep up your eyeballs.
