Hi, warm greetings to you all, trust you all had a good night rest and starting the day with a smile and positive mind. I'm here with another 3D piece from my store lol. Today I modelled a backpack. Right from childhood, I've always loved a backpack compared to a cross bag, I wasn't really the type that liked handbags or cross bag so I barely had those. It was always a backpack or nothing. I remember on different occasions that I took a backpack to places or events that a handbag would have suitable better but I didn't care
But as I grew older, I started giving other types and models of bags a try.

Today I modelled that favourite bag of mine. Although I thought it was gonna be a simple and easy going one but I was wrong cause it got complicated along the way. I tried different colours to find out which combination was most suitable, I guess the colours I finally settled for isn't that bad, right?
Permit me to share and explain a few steps of my creative process

Work Processes

So here I started by using a box since it was more easier to sculpt it into the shape and pattern I need. I transformed the box using transform tool, trimmed out the part I didn't want which was the upper edges of the box, then I remeshed and smoothen it

---

---

Secondly, I inserted another box, transformed by reducing its side, length and width to give me the front part of the backpack, I also smoothen it to give it a smoother surface

---

---

Here I duplicated the box, resized and reshaped it to make a cover for the front and a cover handle as well.

---

---

After which I made two smaller side purse for my backpack. I worked on one side of the purse and then mirrored it to give me the second part. This way I could maintain accuracy for both side purses.

---

---

I then went ahead to work on the main bag cover and also the hands or handle.
This was the most difficult part of this sculpting. At first I tried using a sphere to try and achieve the cover but it wasn't possible so I went ahead to try a tube, it still wasn't possible either.

---

---

The only way I was able to sculpt the backpack cover was by using two different boxes, voxel remeshed them and smoothen out the rough edges and joined part to make it one piece

---

---

And after finishing the sculpting part of the work, I started painting and colouring the different parts of my backpack and took different angle shots of the process

---

---

---

---

---

Here I finished the painting, introduced environment lighting to my work to bring more life to it. Although this looked lovely, the dazzling and radiant colour makes it look sweet but I did prefer a calmer tone, so because of that I tried something different, more calm and less vibrant.

---

---

---

---

Here I had to reduce the environment light, introduced a unidirectional light to my model and I think I like it better. It gives off that calm and soothing tone and effect I wanted, so I settled for this one instead and then took different angle shots to showcase my work as shown below.

And that ends the creative processes of my 3D backpack and I do hope you like my creative piece for today, thanks for dropping by and for also supporting and appreciating my work, see you next time!
