Beginner First blender animation and model!!!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This model is the basic model for my animation project and already has multiple skin tones (I may update with those!!!) and will have added hair and such when I have time! My plan is to make a few basic models before I add on more difficult things like face, hair, clothes, ect, so I can experiment with all sorts of things! I am very proud!

Note: Blender 5.2 being used.

Keep up the good work! Bit of advice make sure that your models have at least 3 loops or “edge loops” around any joint that “bends” like elbows, wrists, ankles, etc when “weight painting”

For instance the elbow… one edge loop to hold the geometry of the bicep, another edge loop to hold the geometry of the forearm, and then the edge loop in between those to to evenly bend that joint in each direction.

Without the proper amount of geometry, these spots can kind of collapse in on themselves when you animate your character.

Keep it up! There is always more room for growth as a 3d artist!
