Jaco’s Random Writings

Yes, it would seem that the Sketch Blitz had a little hiccup in relation to yesterday’s missed update. I’m going to have make that up in some way. Well, I continued to work on that WIP of Alita. Well, here’s what I’ve gotten done so far:

Some line refining and hair.

I did some work on the lines. That, and I got started on the hair. Let me say this: I am getting a lot of practice with hair. However, despite all that practice, I really don’t like how the hair’s turning out. Her head is supposed to be turning in a sudden, startled motion. Unfortunately, the hair is not communicating that motion. That is some very static hair and no amount of drawing and redrawing over it will change that. Guess I should just whip out the eraser and to the hair from scratch.

I could probably simulate the hair moving in Blender using the hair solver just to see how the strands react to the head turning. Of course, it would probably crash my little lappy to try and do that in realtime. Oh well. Guess we’ll see what I come up with.
