2nd and 3rd entry of my watercolour Art Journal journey!
This is from when I went to Akihabara during the one week trip. I also realised that I didn't have a black colour when I drew this one... it was actually brown, so I tried saving it with adding some purple 💩

I always felt drawing is hard, so I decided to start art journaling, sketch everyday life as well as learn using watercolours. I have been at it for a few days.
1st entry is from my one week trip to Japan before Christmas, ramen from Tokyo Station.

Me and some friends spend the weekend having a mini game jam! We made a local asymetric co-op game. We had a blast, and I am super happy with what we delivered in 24h total 😄 it's buggy and unfinished, but feel free to give it a go!

You realise you are a bit work damaged when you are on a trip to Marrakech, and all you can see is "oh that is a cool texture!" Or "I should photoscan that!"

Someone asked a long time ago what my lowpoly and uv process was, my answer - very manual and slow 🐌
I mean - it's just a personal project, can take all time in the world right 🤣

Material Definition for texturing tip!
Understanding the materials' properties can significantly upgrade the realistic look of your texturing.
Likewise, this helps with stylization and understanding what elements are important to keep when working with simplifying and exaggeration of shape & form
