Greetings all you wonderful artists, I am another one who strifes daily to beacome a master of CG-art. Im goin to the totally wrong school, but soon it will all end and ill start a university to continue developing my skills in 3d.

My name is Peter Elvin, im coming from northern part of sweden “Yeah the part many people assume theres polarbears here, well come visit me, and you’ll see for yourselves.” Haha… Jokes aside.

I live in a small village, 10km from closest town and 70km to the programming school im currently attending… I just turned 18, so im taking my drivers license this summer yay!.
I go by bus to school everyday, and my time in school is pretty much mathematics and such all day long, And its in the totally wrong direction of the artistic feelings inside of me… You should see my math book, ist crowded with halfassed 2d art, cuz i mostly suck at it… But atleast it lets me sketch something, which feels far better then counting countless numbers for 3-6H/a day… Tryin to solve equations which some ole guy from greek found out a few 1000 years ago… I seriosly think that math could be more fun if there was something more to it.

Im tryin desperately to learn about anathomy. I found out best way to learn for me is by trial and error and long nights… Which usually ends up in destroying my awaken houers at school. But you take some and give some… Haha… Im sure ill do just fine in the end, with my kind of luck… I like my situation in life, actually i love my life, even the ups and downs beacuse without them what would life be ? We woul’nt see the difference between good and bad… We need it, the kind of yin and yang.

Im a philosophistic guy when it comes to these questions, and i have a solid theory on how the whole universe works… So for me, theres only one question that remains a mystery… and thats Woman… I know how infinite the universe is… I know whats the smallest part that builds up our bodies I believe And the only problem as i told is woman, sure i have no problem gettin em, but they are one of the greatest mysteries yet.

Cheers.
Keep on paintin pixels and pushin polies!

Hello and welcome. I’m glad you are learning anatomy. I rather skipped over it in my early years of drawing, along with perspective and learned the hard way they are probably the most important tools you’ll ever develop. The only way I learned was to draw it, from some of the old books. Anatomy for the Artist was a great one, but not the newest version. If you can find the old version of it, get it. And draw it until you understand how evey muscle group works. Another is: Anatomy Perspective Composition for the Artist.

You can probably order them via Amazon?
Best to you,
Adri
