I'm realy inspired by Anthony Jones, it is so amazing to see his daily drawings, so I desided to try again to do some daily warmdown drawings after work. I'm not sure how consistent I can be with daily sketches, but want to try anyway. Sould I try to stream just evening doodlings on twich?

Making real-time VFX explosions is so much fun! Also doing material math as a creative person makes you feel like galaxy brain!

Started learning some real-time vfx. This guy was sitting in my head for the entire time I was creating this effect.

When working even on the small corners of an environment, creating callout sheets really helps me understand how this place functions, what its purpose is, etc. Those could be small details really, but it is them that can really make a difference
