Sketchbook: KobaltCore

KobaltCore · Feb 2017

Hey guys, after viewing artwork on here and zbrush central i decided to finally pull the trigger and make my own sketchbook. I've been messing around with blender and zbrush for a few years and lately decided to get much more serious about improving my skills. I am very much open to critiques as i am trying to improve my skills rapidly! Thanks.

sculpting some more anatomy, one of my major weaknesses.

update of the design

Nice work. Do you have any suggestions on tutorials for beginning 3D sculpture?

KobaltCore · Mar 2017

Thank you!, most of what i've learned so far are from tutorials on youtube. Honestly anatomy is very important. I'm still learning and struggling with it but i think that's what puts people very far ahead. Also always have lots of reference images, i find myself going in circles if i don't have some references to look at.

small break, trying some hard surface stuff.

very nice! i especially like your presentation in these models. Curious, what are you doing for your hard surface sculpts? all those details look sculpted in, as appose to modeled.
