Re: Ysalex Anatomy Practice Thread (nsfw)
Although I certainly don't qualify as an "amazing polycount anatomy artist", I think I can share some useful input, so here it goes. For starters, are you using any specific reference for your poses?

Re: My works in Blender for 2025

Hey everyone, I’ve started working on a new practice prop. Its a chemical/paint waste disposal bin. I found this one and thought it would be a great study piece because it has a lot of subtle form changes, surface damage, and material storytelling.
