I'm realy inspired by Anthony Jones, it is so amazing to see his daily drawings, so I desided to try again to do some daily warmdown drawings after work. I'm not sure how consistent I can be with daily sketches, but want to try anyway. Sould I try to stream just evening doodlings on twich?

When working even on the small corners of an environment, creating callout sheets really helps me understand how this place functions, what its purpose is, etc. Those could be small details really, but it is them that can really make a difference #gameart #3dart #environmentart #darksouls #fanart

When texturing a "Stylized PBR" asset I like to do as much hand painting as possible. I try to keep procedural noise to a minimum. In this case I used procedural noise for roughness only. All other details are painted.
