Chesty B. Puller - Student Bust

waedoe

Good evening! This is my first attempt in zbrush, our class was instructed to create a 2d three view turn around and then begin to block out a person of our choosing.

I chose Chesty B. Puller because he has unique and interesting features, as well as he served in the same marine corp battalion as myself, 3rd Battalion 5th Marines.

I'm about 4 hours in, I'm looking for crits and workflow suggestions. right now I'm primarily working with clay tubes, smooth, dynamesh, and other beginner tools. I am working on the latest z brush software.

Thank you for stopping by!

The man, the Legend.

Resolution is too high. Drop it down, You need to nail big forms before you go into fessing out the zygomatic arch, etc.

New texture update, banging my head on the wall over how to get better lighting in zbrush, right now only the eyes seem to be affected by matlights.
