Overall I enjoyed this assignment and course. The attempt was a SAD, SCI-FI, DESPAIR character. The attempt was to make a CYBER GOTH looking woman-though I think it's more fantasy than sci-fi. I am certainly not gonna become a master after this course but I do feel confident enough to begin working on a portfolio for concept art.
What I realized throughout the course is that I spend too much time rendering early into the artwork. When really the focus is really ideation, making as many designs with little time. Which is why I believe the ALLA PRIMA method is best used for ideation with tons of references. I still need to practice 'drawing quickly without worrying about detail and render later' psychology but I feel trained enough to know how to improve on my own thanks to this course.
