My Daily Anatomy Practices

Hazardous

Hey Dudes,

I thought i would chuck these up here to get feedback as I go along and hopefully improove my painting / and 3d at the same time.

What im trying to do is focus on bits and pieces first, eyes, noses, mouths, ears etc, then ill move onto heads , hands feet etc etc - Paint them in 2d and then sculpt them each day.

Rinse, repeat and hopefully improove!

Started with an ear:



Oh, I also Livestream as im doin these practices as well, so feel free to drop in and shoot me down as im working

Great idea. Looks good to me but maybe do the painting in color.

Xaltar: thanks man, I think im going to stick with values at the moment, but you've actually tempted me into painting a value, then a colour version next to it... hmmmmmmmm!

ericdigital

Cool man should be fun to watch. I would just paint them in black and white and keep all your focus on the anatomy instead of worrying about color too since that's a whole extra can of worms!

Loren Broach

Good idea man! Should be a fun thread to watch

I read your blog post not a bit ago and I've got to admit it's good to see you doing this. Not a bad idea at all and, in my opinion, an artist at any skill level benefits from doing anatomy studies. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with all this.

Are you going to both draw and sculpt everything as you go?

woogity

very nice and a good idea too, its a bit strange seeing an ear coming off of a plane to me, might help to sculpt them off of a base even if your just doing the ears nose ect. so that you can get the orientation to the head correct. then again you could always save that for the head sculpting week

Thanks dudes!

Kharn: Im using the Mudbox Matcap
OrganizedChaos: Amen to that brother, i hope that after several weeks of practice the next time i sculpt a face, the result will improove!

Woogity: HAHAHA it looks like the ear grown off the back of a mouse a little.... But no i really need to sculpt them off planes, its giving me a much better understanding of building the forms and volumes from absolute 2d.



Todays one, eye.

So many problems I can see, argh oh well this is what came out of the session, painted it first then sculpted all the forms of the eye from a plane.

Xaltar

grr now I gotta try it. Must... resist... urge... to... wait, this will help my sculpting....

Looks good to me or maybe I shuold say it looks better than I can do

conte

awesome David's eye)

Kharn

Oh right mudbox ^^ Looks nice.
Very nice eye sculpt only thing i guess is the tear part of the eye (i cant remeber its actual name ) coud do with being a tad less square but thats just nit picking.

Out of intrest how much time are you spending on these ?
Amazing work

woogity

Looks good, I've been doing a bit of this. I've got a plane full that really helped me to know noses.:)

I'm kind of jumping between learning to model the form and the details.

How did you do the eyes? Is the geometry cut out or is it just indented back a bit?

Oniram

wow. this is an amazing technique. great job.
