I really dig the original work too @nathangarduno

That’s one stompin’ Melvin! It’s clobberin’ time!

[Kent Trammell]

Good stuff this week, @choyce7! Your Melvin’s expression reminds me of a peanuts character 👍 And the peach is lovely! A little mushiness in the primitives. Overall A-quality work though.

[Kent Trammell]

Congrats on finishing the homework this week and on your first Melvin! Melvin looks pretty good, recognizable and smooth. But it’s suffering a bit from single-angle-favor. As in it looks good from the front but doesn’t look so good from other angles.

It seems clear to me that you worked hard this week. Overall, deserving of an A in my book 👍

Oh and RE: embedding sketchfab models – In the reply textbox options at the top, all the way on the right is the </> button. Click that to open code view where you can paste an embed code (from Sketchfab)

Learning a lot is the victory! And your Melvin is good. Not much wrong with it aside from having room for shapes to be polished a little more. Did you submit this to the exercise?

[Kent Trammell]

Welcome to the class, @snurker! Really good sculpts overall. Your shapes are strong and fairly polished. There’s some mushiness/bumpiness, but it’s a bit of a nitpick for me to say that. A-quality work for sure.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the class! I’m loving this format. Just finished my outline for a new class in March. Hopefully see you in the stream on Tuesday.

Welcome to the class and splendid teapot! I also love the yellow-paint version in your gallery 👌The spout is a little squarish. Maybe that’s the design. I expected a clean tubular shape. Wireframe is clean, even, and optimal though. A-quality submission.

[Kent Trammell]

First time with both? Hard time? I don’t get that impression from looking at these sculpts. You seem like a patient sculptor given the level of polish here. I see a bright pen-and-tablet + sculpting future for you. Easily grade-A 👌

[Kent Trammell]

Fun scene! I like the details and theme shared all objects. And you sculpted thin, flat shapes for the flower which can be tricky.

Overall good sculpting this week! An A in my book.

[Kent Trammell]

Beautiful sculpts and lighting! Good lighting covers a multitude of sins. Not much negative to say at all…a little mushy in spots but honestly it reads more like your style here. Maybe me looking for something to nitpick 😅 Fantastic work @nathangarduno: A+

[Kent Trammell]

Wow, the details in your sculpts struck me immediately. You’re not afraid of high-frequency details, which usually takes more time newer sculptors to get used to. I love it!

Melvin looks like a ‘wario version’ of melvin haha. And that candle is legit! Really great submissions. A+ work.

So glad to hear you had fun with these!

[John Sanderson]

Wow! Great work!  There is a little crease about Melvin’s wrist.  Makes it look like a rage fist has just ripped through the flesh of his cuddly Melvin paw, wolverine style.  I like it. Putting a light in the mouth cavity was also a nice touch.

[Kent Trammell]

So far you take the “Most Polished” award this week! All your creases and edges are really crisp and surfaces super smooth. That’s a level of patience that newer sculptors don’t usually have right away.

You’ve earned an A for quality but a B for completeness.

[Grady Pruitt]

Fantastic work. 

When I saw the candle, I thought of @theluthier sculpting a flame in one of the workshops that was somewhere on here at CG Cookie at one point…
