I am planning the armor parts and filling up the empty spaces. I hand vectored Lenneth to try and get a visual on what is currently possible to do. Scratch-building can be so tough. #exasperated

That looks great! I balk at drawing anything mechanical – I have a hard time really making parts look like they “fit” rather than just being clumsily next to each other.
hey thanks! I try to separate the lines… i don’t know how to explain it… usually it starts with basic 3d shapes slapped together on 1 layer… and then keep redrawing over it until i get the effect that i want.
So, in a word, patience 😛
yes… hahaha. it messes it up if i try to hurry it. you have to make each line as lovingly as possible or use tools. You can use a protractor or a ruler on your wacom. I don’t suggest using a compass though… lol
Lol. I love having a line tool. As much as i never thought I’d give up the old pencil and paper, digital drawing has become my new go to. It almost feels pointless to draw any other way.
I draw on paper sometimes then I take a picture. Then manually hand draw the vector. ^_^
I love Valkyrie Profile and was thinking about getting into building custom gundams myself. Any advice for a beginner who is getting into building custom models?
well, study what you can through youtube videos, how-to’s and the like, and practice with a lot of shapes. customization takes a lot of time and patience. i guess the best advice I can give you is to start small and work your way up to the bigger grades. 1/144 first to 1/100. I got overwhelmed because i started with the Master Grades and am currently back to the smaller 1/144’s. ^_^
