TINYYYY LES GOO!! 🧯🔥

[@aooide]

hello

[@tinynocky]

Y TO THE A TO THE NNN 🙏🙏🙏

[@stache_obj]

so fun to see your initial journey! great video as always! super high production quality!

[@tinynocky]

@@stache_obj thank you so much!

[@thehangardesigns]

Man, the editing of this video is so good!

[@jaisuriyaa29]

we got a video from tinynocky before GTA 6

[@jiro4559]

not using references is the stupidest thing a young artist can do

[@BLACK_FALCON08]

and also the most challenging

[@kaliltama]

@@BLACK_FALCON08 stupidly challenging

[@Damian_h]

i feel like im going to crash my project if i dont have pure ref opened 24/7/365. Reference should be like oxygen for us.

[@9b8ll]

Not using references these days is like not drinking water or eating food. Using references not only saves me time but more accuracy and creativity in my projects. 😊

[@CrusaderGabriel]

Not only young artists but also experienced artists…
Ask any senior artist and they’ll basically tell you they have a massive pureref board with hundreds if not thousands of images.
while you can understand basic forms, you still can’t trust in your memory to actually remember them 1:1

[@kakkak1]

Remember seeing your 100 heads video, and you've gotten lot better even since then. Keep it up man!

[@Eneija]

This is incredibly motivating, well-organized, and impressive. Thanks for sharing such a detailed explanation of your learning journey for us to glean from. It's particularly exciting to see the core understandings of drawing methods/anatomy/research and how that applies to modeling.

[@therondoshow]

Insane production value on this video. The sound design when the text boxes pop up! Dude. It's all in the details. Loved every minute of it.

[@NIXO3D]

I’m not only impressed by your 3D skills but also by your editing and sound effect design skills. 👏🏽

[@makilton]

new video from tinynocky is a once in a lifetime experience

[@DropThePiProductions]

So cool to see your progress and how you got to where you are! I love your style, I've been following your cute 3D character tutorial and attempting a cute character of my own. Fingers crossed it doesn't look terrible 🤣🤞

[@realjames5istaken]

this man's content makes me want to create. thank you nocky

[@Zac_Cole]

I just watched your previous video on sculpting character models and as a physical therapist and someone who has learned human anatomy for a long time, knowing anatomy helps but goddamn it's hard to make something look like a normal human

[@BrickTight]

The thumbnail blending into the video is just so perfect🔥

[@CinematicCroissant]

This is the best guidance blender video I have ever seen in my life, with comparing different blender skills to leveling up in a video game to your backstory to everything, the way you executed this video was nearly perfect, thank you, you have opened up my mind and helped me realize mistakes I've been making, I cant thank you enough. ❤

[@tinynocky]

@@CinematicCroissant thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad it helped :)

[@hikki134]

this ! i don't know how but he made me realize what are all the things i need to work on while motivating and not overwhelming me, what a g

[@acr_3d]

Oooh, boy, if i only had this organization in my life 😂. Amazing video, story, tips, editing... amazing everything as always!!

[@9b8ll]

I am so glad you are back tinynocky! 🎉 not using references is like not eating food nor drinking water. References is just like brainstorming and planning anything.

[@itayozari6252]

Thank you for the video. Regardless of the topic, you come across as a diligent and thorough person who truly loves what you do. Your dedication has greatly inspired me.❤

[@wydua2049]

I watch your channel since the recreating character video. tuff that you put out is amazing and honestly your dedication is insane.

[@funkeyaries]

we love lore with good character development 🫶🏻

[@APNataku]

Great video! I've been working in the VFX industry for more than 12 years and only just started diving in Blender, hoping to pick up 3D sculpting as a "beginner class". It's awesome to see a fellow Singaporean being so talented and inspiring others including myself!

[@DoctorMadness]

Love it, jam packed with value delievered entertainingly. Also love your tinyeye addon. Big fan keep up the great work 👏👏

[@idragolyte]

Im jealous of your progress. You've improved a lot since the 100 heads video.

[@nguyentai464]

This video help me alot as a beginner . I keep start again everything and get lost because my work was so bad

[@RomulusMorgan]

Lately, I have been worrying about my journey as an artist in the modern landscape. I adore Blender, but have been working to improve my skills in other spheres of art. Yet I cannot help but feel the fear that I will be behind or that I am inadequate. To hear that you, an incredibly talented 3D artist took a hiatus from the medium you fell in love with is comforting, even if it was for something mandatory by your government. Everyone's journey is different, and it is always reassuring to hear that, because the internet gives an illusion of constant progress and focus, and that is not always the most efficient route. Thank you for this video, it was superbly encouraging and makes me feel okay in my journey as an artist :)

[@deminastya]

dude, i’m a huge fan of your persistence

[@agyabcg1999]

im impressed, inspired and motivated by this video 😮

[@funkeyaries]

insanely impressive editing

[@s.y-x6y]

hands down the best beginner video. love all the RS references haha

[@gimello5262]

I love the reference to Runescape hahaha Loved the growing of your skills just motivated me to continue in my journey!

[@89ZY]

This is basic knowledge that beginners must have, thank you for sharing

[@valusion9228]

Loved the vid tiny🔥, can't wait for your streams❤

[@nyankrauss]

Good work!

[@far_raspberry_Animations]

Practice is the answer really

[@Yoliver1301]

Amazing video! =)

[@theMarkofArt]

A Tiny video! 😍 😍 😍

[@itselliexoxx]

the main thing im lacking I think is presentation. I cant make any of my renders look finished. It might be my work that is lacking but I have no idea how to present any of the work that I do

[@starsfansify]

yknow its a good day when tinynocky uploaded

[@fearcry]

Thank you for sharing :)

[@JTLN25]

love your video

[@BlenderArt]

that's cool man

[@MaxSonicUA]

Great video! Can you share some tips or do a breakdown on how to edit videos like you do? Thanks!

[@Anim8ionManiac]

Great vid

[@rebootdrobot]

dont start twerking for moneey. This was solid!!

[@theunknown4834]

Bless your time in national service, covid must have given you the time lost in NS.
HORMAT KEYBOARD AND MOUSE.

[@Iamjmiley2024]

Could you make a video of the most useful videos and courses that you recommend. Please!

[@RegLearnsTo]

I should start twerking for mone😅 Thanks for the tips tiny.
Great Journey.❤

[@DarrinNoNAME]

do you use a mixture of voxel remeshing and dyntopo when you sculpt or do you prefer a specific method over the other?

[@emmanuelonyeji690]

What laptop are you guys using, i need to buy one for animations but i am low on cash

[@shivangipriya4153]

I am first time here> I hope you do a video for color skin only for face

[@ez_mod]

I started blender June 2024. Am lost already 😢

[@binyaminbass]

What do you mean by “already”? You haven’t even started! You’ll be a beginner for a year or two. If you don’t know anything right now, you are right where you should be! Keep challenging yourself to learn and you’ll reap huge rewards.

[@artistaeps]

Have you made money with it?

[@technologic3739]

omg you're singaporeannnn???

[@moregamingplayz9002]

Try Zbrush dude your gonna do amazing in zbrush if you are doing this in blender

[@phredbookley183]

Drills mentioned in the video:
#1 Turn a cube into a sphere
#2 Turn a bean into a rock.
#3 360 view your forms, regarding contours and silhouettes
Any other drills / daily drills you recommend?
Also, how do you feel about doing the doughnut tutorial a hundred times in a row?

[@tinynocky]

@@phredbookley183 #2 is to explore organic shapes such as a stylised rock or a bean, not turning a bean into a rock.
I don't have any other specific drills to recommend atm, these were catered to the problems I encountered while sculpting heads
Stylised rocks = wanted to explore stylised plane changes of the face and practice using the Scrape brush
Bean = silhouette of Chibi heads
I've done some random exercises that I sadly can't recall, but the bottom line is to focus on executing clean forms
it's also good to observe the workflow of the pros and intergrate them into your own
doing the doughnut tutorial a 100x is definitely overkill. as soon as you're familiarised enough to navigate around, start working on smaller projects and problem solve along the way!

[@darkfox2401]

Discussing behavior.

[@miguelcrespo5545]

This is super insiping.

[@darkfox2401]

Xan you're actually acting like a terrible person for money.
It does not make you a better person to act just as bad as they are. lol It makes you just as bad.
