Here’s a cool resource for you, guys!

Do you know when you need to paint skulls, vehicles or some object full of crevices and details that change and get obscured by different angles? It can be hard to find good references, sometimes you need to learn how it looks from unusual angles like the underside, but no one take photos of the underside.

Well, the folk at Sketchfab do. It’s a project that has been running for a while, and wow, it has grown since I last checked it! Some incredibly kind museums joined and are sharing 3D scans of their collections, to not speak of the high quality scans of almost anything by regular users. You’ll also find original 3D models there. It’s amazing, a wealth in information at your fingertips, almost as if you had the object in your hands. Enjoy!

Aqui vai um recurso legal!

Sabe quando você precisa pintar crânios, veículos ou objetos cheios de depressões e detalhes que mudam e se sobrepõem de ângulos diferentes?

NOTE: one type of fold will rarely appear on its own - they interact with each other quite a bit! for example, spiral folds might define the outline of a pant leg, while the interior folds might be zig-zag folds.

How I break down anatomy and make it mechanical while still looking organic/streamline in shape. These guidelines can be stretched, squished, pulled, and widened however you see fit. They will work for any shape, from big and squishy to thin and spindly.
