Howdy Folks,
A lot of us here are trying to turn out space artwork with all kinds of different mediums, weither CGI, digital or traditional methods. Well, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, I've found some YouTube videos on artwork. It's mostly Aviation art, but my observation is that most of Star Trek's ships act more like planes than they do space ships, so the techniques if not the dynamics and angles of positioning the ships is very similar.
I realize some of you may find the topic a bit off, so, I'd like to let the moderators decide if it's out of line.
Mike Machat is a long time aviation artist who'd decided to share his techniques with the world.
Here he's talking about Jack Lynnwood, who was an extremely good aviation artist. So, yes, this is about model box artwork rather than Star Trek, but the techniques still all apply.
I hope you find it as interesting as I did.
This one is mostly about composition.
