heres a picture of the pen incase you dont want to download the model

[thejobe]

ok here is a papper clip

 

i know these dont seem exciting as to modeling a person but im still trying to get the basics down and the more i understand these the easier it will be for me to make a person

 

if you think im wasteing my time just tell me and ill stop

[thejobe]

heres the model

Don't stop! I think you can learn something valuable from almost every model you make. The models look good.

[thejobe]

well i was never really planing on stoping i just like to hear feedback

it fuels me pretty much

if i dont see any interst then i think poeple are like "wow a pen oh yeah thats intersting.. NOT. "

but thats the way my head works

i know im screwed up, but i like attention every once in a while so like i said feeback fuels my skills in a way.

its kind of hard for me to know if im getting any better nobody tell me.

 

ok thank for the feedback hutch

give me more! need more input!

This is helpful to learn little bits at a time. I'm a firm beleaver in challenging yourself though, why not try a really big project that will teach you alot?

 

it's only an idea, but i find its best tolearn from your mistakes

i tried big projects in the past

the Space Project was my first thing i tried didnt get far in that.

then i tried to make a chracter and only got him half done (i would finish him but no clue how to put him togehter.

so now im trying office supplies.

if i get stuck on one thing to long i will get frustrated and just stop modeling. so to keep myself intersted im just trying to model things i know i can model right now and then try to move toward the stuff im not so sure about.

Thanks Jason! I'm collectin' your models.

[nixie]

I remember you started your character, Post the model file if you wish, I'l look at it for you see if i can suggest anything, It's a shame that he isnt finished, it was coming along.

[thejobe]

Jason,

 

Keep at it and keep it simple. And if you're looking for just a smidge more of a challenge, try a staple puller, a butterfly paperclip, or a hole punch.

 

What you've got looks great so far. The thing that's really valuable to learn by doing these simple kind of models is getting the most out of the least amount of splines.

[thejobe]

all the drawers are functional and have their own groups

corner_desk.mdl

Somewhere (I guess in the WIP thread) there was your model of the bunny which is your avatar... I' ve just took a look at it (HEY! this rhymes!) and I must say that I really liked it (The half of it anyway ;oP)

 

I really think that you got something there... maybe you should 'copy flip attach' it, try some rig (I would add Mark Skodacek's rig) and try to make something of it. I wish my first organic model was half that good...

 

And, thanks for the office supplies ;oD
