I am a newbie, just one month learning on my own.
And critique and tips are welcome.

My ref from web

Are you able to sculpt this?

Moosebish

I applaud you for learning on your own and coming to these forums to look for help. You're taking the first few steps of a potentially unending journey, don't be discouraged and just keep marching forward.

That said, for first starting out, you've chosen a difficult reference. If you really want to improve your skills, go for something realistic. Find an animal, object, person that has lots of reference so that you can view it from multiple angles and understand it's shape.

If you want to work towards this creature, maybe start with a dog or wolf. Study it's anatomy, why it's built the way it is. Then try coming back to this guy when you can understand more of what isn't shown in this concept.

Good luck and hang in there!

Never tried sculpting. Just going to try it.

Moosebish, Thank you. I'll think about it.

Are you going to use ZBrush or Blender? Looks like you're already done with this character:

I,m going to learn ZBrush and Maya. But for now im still learning blender.

Character is not done, but it is the best way for critique.

I would definatly agree with moosebish, this is a very hard refence because it can be interpreted differently, again start with something real, like a dog, everyone know what a dog looks like and can be more apt to give you a critique.

That being said

I think your jumping the gun here, by adding the teeth,
I feel your upper body on the creature needs the most work



I did a quick paint over, im highlighting the muscle lines that are coming out in the drawing and thats somthing that you need show in the model, granted your in T-pose right now or dog equivalent, but i fieel if you understand what your looking at youll be able to model it Also your silohete on your dog i feel need to be more muscular, looks like you have some pretty crazy epic spinal muscles on that dog going on, Hope this helps! Keep up the hard work bubba!

oh and good morning by the way
