In today’s lesson I managed to start and tried to finish my shield.
The image on the left is the drawing of the shield and on the right is the fully modelled shield. The image on the left has a lot more depth. This is because when drawing I didn’t think about the depth as much as just drawing a shield. So, when I started modelling I realised that the shield would just be flat and I need to give it some depth. That is why the design on the front of the drawn one is different to the design on the right. The shield isn’t fully complete but I am going to start adding more depth and the “H” in the middle of the shield isn’t going to stay.
Next lesson I am going to try and get some basic textures on to the shield. Even if it is just basic colours. Right now I am trying to come up with unique ideas for textures to put on the shield. For now though I am going to model my sword and see if I can make them match (textures) and look good.
