Self study devlog

Hello, this is the week 1 self study portfolio task.

This self study focuses on simple shape modeling and color painting (which is, to make a barrel). I did everything following the video, though some options there went missing in UI, so I skipped some steps.

This is the general shape of the barrel:

It is, basically, a cylinder. I'm a beginner on modeling, so it really surprised me that, a cylinder is actually made from something like a polyhedron. There's no such perfect curve face in there. It's actually made with multiple flat faces, then "smoothed" by blender.

Though you might not have noticed, there are lines drawn on the barrel. Yeah yeah I know, it looks bad. I was trying to make it more straight and smooth, then found out that it looked worse than I expected.

Despite of the weird color and lines, I'm very satisfied with the shape of the barrel, especially the top of it. This is in edit mode where I can see the faces of the model, it actually looks like a real barrel from top.
