@Elithenia I seem to be not fast enough to get to the stage that I should be turning off symmetry. I guess I'm only on day 3. Well, here is day 3. Found it very hard to get down a female feel to this. Its there, but not so obvious. Not that used to looking at West African female faces. Also, started to try and break down…
@stororokw, I find the direction you are taking with all your heads to be very accurate but much too subtle. the transformation you make to the basemesh looks like it's spot on but the travel distance is so little that it makes all of them look very much alike at the same time. it's as if you hit the likeness to perfection…
Hey guys. One of the recent graduates from Herts Uni asked me what kind of exercises he could do to get better as a character artist. So i told him to do a study of heads at the macro level, focusing on forms rather than details in order to build a likeness, doing a head a day for a month. I decided to do this alongside…
@apllana Thank you for the thoughtful critique. I understand what you mean, but I currently lack the skill and time right now to make an immediate impact. After I finish all the exercises I will study the anatomy and construction of the head to try and fix this problem. I cant offer you critiques because I think your…
@stororokw hey man, feel free to give your input if you notice anything slightly off, regardless of your skill level. I almost always spot some problematic area when I look back at these sculpts with fresh eyes and can barely resist the urge to revisit them. feedback is always valuable, especially in threads like this. to…
So I also started to study some of Asaro head like Elithenia suggest and looking more at the angles. @Elithenia thanks it sort of helped a bit. So here day 4 I did some more breaking down on face I found the skull shape of the guy really interesting. Not sure if his skull shape is different I.e. it seems to be more flatter…
@musashidan correct. The exercise is to learn to see and get the primary forms right before adding any details. Which is why we are only allowed one SubD so that we don't get lost in detail. The exercise is short enough so that you shouldn't really have time for any details either, but long enough so that you can get some…
andropof very nice work on the old dude! Here is my Day model number, I don't know will likely be my first and last for this challenge. Mostly due to a few annoyances. first of all i have never been a big fan of doing the most in the lowest possible subdiv. i dunno i switch up and down as needed. So out of habit about i…
