male head study critique

HaTariq · Mar 2020

I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what, I was hoping people here can lead me in he right direction been doing studies almost daily and very few come out looking anatomically correct. I've followed tutorials from multiple people but my eye must be off, would love criticism and advice on how to improve moving forward. Thanks in advance.

If this face is from imagination, don't do that.

If this face is from a specific reference, which reference were you using?

I actually have been pulling from several different references, mostly anatomy diagrams and such. I haven't been sculpting using a specific person for reference, sounds like it might be time to switch methods from what based on what you're saying

Please switch yea. You're not there yet where you seem to be able to make one from imagination. choose someone that has a LOT of different head shots and jsut focus on recreating their face.

Thanks for the advice I'll start searching for references now and start working

You can also download daz3d for free and use it to produce orthographic reference images which you can apply to image planes in zBtush.

You should have a second monitor near your main screen which you can use to place reference on while you work. This will help you with positioning and form. You can also download a free skeleton model and place that under you sculpt in zBrush:

You can also make zbrush's interface semi transparent and use video footage as a reference underlay. You will notice I go up and down in subdivision levels a lot. This really helps.
