First humanoid head model

Kurosagi · Jul 2011

Hi there. I just modeled my first human head and I guess I made a lot of beginner mistakes.

Could you guys give me some feedback?

This is my reference. It's the maid from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The shape of the head in 3/4 view is somewhat misshapen even for a stylized character. The shape of your head is a little too simplistic (basically a sphere), and I think it would help to recess the eye a bit and suggest a brow ridge.

Also the neck should attach to the head in a much more gradual fashion. Again, even on a cartoon character there are many things that you should still try to base on actual anatomy. If you're new to humanoid heads then I recommend trying to make something more realistic first until you get the basics down.

eye go farther back

neck less straight

Okay I tried to work on the shape of the skull and moved the eyes farther back.
What do you think?

Thanks for the feedback haikai.

I did some quick paintovers on things you should keep in mind.

It's getting there, just make sure the proportions are not that of a child

Kurosagi · Jul 2011

Okay I tried to work on the things you've shown me. I hope I got them right now. (Many thanks Julmust :])

I guess I have to work on the breasts, they look too much like she's got silicone implants.

Now critique please!

looks good. maybe you can make a detail shot of the hands.

I'm reaaally not sure about the fingertips.

SimonT · Aug 2011

nice to see that you setuped it like this:

the only part which bothers me is the hand/finger transitions - the bobbles...no idea how can i describe that

i thkn they stop the polyflow a bit

Kurosagi · Aug 2011

@SimonT : You mean the fingertips?

edit: It's okay, I got it now. xD

I guess I should leave them for the highpoly, right?

SimonT · Aug 2011
