SuperFranky's Fun Likeness Sculpting Practice

SuperFranky

So while I was taking a break from my current project, I decided to start doing something for the sheer fun of it. And the idea is to spend at least a few hours a day in between my main work to practice sculpting heads, specifically likenesses. I guess I'll try to post at least one sculpt a week, but I'll see how it goes from here on.

You can post critiques if you want, and that will be greatly appreciated, but I probably won't return to a sculpt once I moved on to a new one.









My skills are super rusty, haven't sculpted a face since October. So be gentle with me... or not :poly106:

This marks Sculpt 01. Let's see what happens at Sculpt 48 in a year, eh?

You can leave suggestions for the next likeness

Great start for the likeness. One critique I think I would say is that either the eyes go too wide or the face isn't wide enough? Have you tried overlaying it in photoshop to line up the features?

I haven't tried any overlaying, no. Thanks for the critique. I'll be starting a new sculpt tonight, and maybe I will return to Jon later down the road.

Well, since it's a fast fix, a little update:

Hey SuperFranky, I think the lip area looks less realistic compared to the rest of the face currently,
maybe the facial hair are pushing you to work around it?
Don't know if you have it enabled when sculpting, to be honest I have never tried it so I don't know how it works!
Anyway here is a pic of the guy without facial hair (lol) maybe it can help you.
Other than that I could of course tell who it is,
so it 's more on anatomical mistakes that you could work on.
I think the sides of the eyes are dented inward too much and the forehead could be a little more spherical.

Thanks for the extensive critique. I guess I'll spend some more time with this guy.

SuperFranky

Changed some proportions, reworked the mouth area, fixed the eyes etc

SuperFranky

One more update before the end of the day.

SuperFranky

New update, some small changes.

SuperFranky

Hey guys, sorry for no update last week. Spent a few hours today starting it. Will appreciate any critique, because expressions are hard

SuperFranky

Update time

SuperFranky

The last update for tonight.

SuperFranky

Update before the weekend.

SuperFranky

It's monday, so I'm posting the last version of Baelish and starting a new one. It's not great or anything, but that's what I had time for last week. I hope I'll get to work more with the next one.

Oh, just noticed that I haven't updated this thread for a while. I was kinda busy and stuff, especially learning more anatomy and all. It was a busy month... So here is my latest sculpt of Jeremy "Rat Face" Renner.
