I wanted to broaden my skills but I really enjoy modeling and getting to create characters. For that reason, IContinue reading Research and Reflection
This week I focused on moving forward and having a finished model so I could begin rigging. I worked on getting the helmet right, watching videos on the halo helmet for a bit of help.
