Can you tell us what you're trying to do? It would help us help you
It looks like you're making a mannequin?
Crits:
The fingers on that hand need some work, the lengths are incorrect and they're oddly shaped, they shouldn't get thicker towards the end. The thumb is bending unnaturally, think about where the joints are, and use your own hand as reference as much as possible.
The stomach area looks anorexic, the bellybutton shouldn't stick out like that, and the abs are too defined.
Hi.
It's been said, but you need a lot more anatomical references to help your proportions. Just putting ortagonal images of proportion next to your mesh would help you a lot.
Another tip is to study the muscles and bones as you're building the form. Where do they attach? What's their function? This will help you get a more realistic model. Here's an example of what I mean;
The sternocleidomastoidius is a very important muscle to get right as it gives a lot of form to the neck. You've correctly modeled it from the mastoid process (below the ear) but missed where it attaches somewhat. It's an easy mistake to make, since it splits in two heads and attaches to the clavicle bone both right above the sternum and further to the side.
I marked the muscle as you've built it in black and the rough form of it in red to illustrate;
These slight misplacements of anatomy quickly makes a realistic model look a bit unhuman. If you want to research this in depth I suggest you buy Paul Richers book "Artistic anatomy".
thanks for the advice :-) i looked in a book from Burne Hogarth and some pictueres in the internet for the sternocleidomastoidius
I hope it looks better now
Looks much better IMO Hoggarth is a good reference.
Some other simular details you could have a look at. Note that this is just my personal oppinion, I might very well be wrong;
* Muscles/bones of the face/head. The eyes are a little bit to centered maybe, the widest part of the scull is above the tempels, the top of the nose bone looks like it could come in a bit at the top (or the brow could come out?) to give it a little more form, and the chin looks like it could use some tweaking, as does the zygomatic bone.
* The side of the body. Try studying how the serratus anterior and the external oblique shape the side to get the area a little less flat. The outline looks good ATM, but there's somewhat of a lack in detail. Another very minor thing to look at is how the rectus abdominis (belly) looks in profile. If the subject is as fit as yours are they're probably not that flat.

keep up!
I am now trying to make an arm and a hand (Basemesh)

I´m trying to make a nice looking and relaxing woman on a sofa
what you see is in Blender
just the Arm/Hand was made in Zbrush
( I think that I have to rebuild the hole Arm :-( )
changed the body a bit is it more natural now?
(I will make the arm per poly by poly )

BuCC - a bit of an anatomy nut :poly124:

i changed the muscles of the body
I´m not sure at tweaking the face :-(
