Portrait studies - feedback appreciated

Jakub

Yo guys,

I will be focusing a lot on portraiture & facial anatomy, so I thought it would be nice get some feedback during that

I'll be grateful for it, as this is something that I would like to bring to a professional skill level


So that is my latest try on female face, I found it really hard, because of the soft forms of female face:





And the male that I am working on right now, I will also add my retopology, please tell me if it's wrong:





Thanks in advance guys!

calling him done, moving to next one

wow, you're doing really well.

Good work. Going to try anything polypainted? Mess with some materials and stuff? Maybe try something different like an older gentleman or lady so get the hang of wrinkle detail. Keep it up!

Tectonic

both your characters seem to have very similar noses and round face shapes. maybe try some different and challenging features.

Jakub

Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I've been busy

Thank you for all the suggestions.

@9thknight , i'm going for someone around age of 40 right not, for the character that I am planning to create, so it will be textured this time

@Tectonic

I'll try them for sure! Thank you


Current WIP, trying to get some shapes done, before going into pore detail. Any suggestions are welcome

Another head study Not yet finished. I threw in a noise on it, as it is pretty hard to see a delicate female features without it.
 

Tectonic

keep at it

Jakub

Another one, this time trying to create few emotions along with the portrait

The latest male head looks quite good, I would expect to see a little more definition in the temporal line. Seems to be missing completely.
Also, the ridge around the tip of the ear feels quite thin.
The topology on your head up higher in the thread has some very odd topology termination/transition points.
Compare it to some of the examples here to see if you can tidy up the termination.

Keep it up man, definitely seeing improvement here.

@jacob thomas 

Thanks! You're definitely right about the temporal line, probably lost it during the process.

Aye, that topology looks bad, already worked on it a bit more

Jakub

Next head. Working on a Eminem likeness while waiting for new char challenge
