Please Help ! Female face sculpt in Zbrush

KurtThomas · Feb 2016

Hey, would you guys help me out with the female face. I'm trying to make it hyper-realistic.

FYI, haven't started the ear yet.

I'd appreciate the help

what reference are you using? its hard to give advice when we don't know what you're going off of.

As Tectonic said it's hard to crit without a reference, but I think the mouth is to wide, the chin area to small (-> side view) and the eyes a little bit high.
Not an expert with face anatomy so better check some reference to see if what I am saying is true.

First thing is first, get the skull shape right. Don't even think about getting out any sculpting brushes until the skull shape is there.
I've done a quick liquify to show you where you want to head, keep in mind depending on your reference the overall shape of the skull will change but the idea is the same. This was all done with liquify, so you can replicate this just using move brush in zbrush. Don't use any other brushes, you don't need them yet.

Secondly proportions, how wide is the head? How wide is the mouth? How long is the nose? There are many guides to this online, Loomis can be a good start.
Common proportions are 5 eyes wide for head, 1 eye width between each eye, 2 eyes width from the corner of the eye to the middle of the lips with the nose sitting in the middle.

All this should get you well on your way.
Keep it up, would like to see how you progress.

Hey guys, so sorry for not putting any references. Tbh I used a bunch of references as I wanted to create my own female face for my character. However, I mainly used Olivia Wilde as my main reference. Is that bad ?
