First Female Sculpt Wip

ryankentpaule

I am going to try and create a few portfolio stunners and this will be my first female human sculpt and character. I am following a tutorial as it will take me through some techniques and programs I have yet to crack open. Namely Marvelous Designer. I am self learning and am going to take a CGMA course this summer. Any feedback and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
So far, this is still in dynamesh mode but am getting close to satisfied with this stage.

Who's face are you using as reference?

i am creating my own and using references for muscles and making sure they are relatively close.

I think it will help you a lot if you can find some reference for it, 3D scans of people are very helpful for this.
I think the eyes are a little bit small in comparison with the rest of the face

I think you would greatly benefit from finding a face to use a reference, the problem with making things up as you go is that you start loosing on all the little subtleties that you can get from using reference.

I used reference for the basic structure...but i purposely avoided any likenesses. what about the face has you unsettled? @jose.fuentes
there is still time for adjustments.

I feel you could work on the proportions and face a bit more. 
Right now the legs look too small compared to the rest of the body and the head is a tad too big.

ryankentpaule

cool. I actually used a reference for all of the body proportions....odd how we people vary so much, yet it goes unnoticed until it's recreated. Have that same issue when doing 2d portraits. but thanks for the insight

Agreed with the above posters. Materials aren't gonna save this, anatomy of the main features needs to be reworked. Thinking: lips/nose bridge/eyelids. Skull structure is flat/not defined/top heavy. It's not an issue of ideal proportion IMO, you can get away with pretty weird stuff if the anatomy checks out, even in the domain of realism. re accuracy, if people are giving recurring crits like these that's actually a testament to how hard it is to nail down.

Collar polycount is too low right next to the high poly head, a few normal baking errors in there too.
