I'm going to get the usual hate for this but here goes : no matter how you tweak it, Zbrush won't give you a proper perspective view (no matter what it tries to make us believe) Sculpting in it can be fine ; its great for some portraits too, since very little to no perspective can work well for that purpose. (just like…
Yea I like that idea. I tried to use it but when I moved the sculpture to the front angle and tried to make things look decent, it would mess up the work I did in the profile. I'm going to keep working at it though. Do you have a formal process that you follow that is posted anywhere? One of the best portrait sculptors…
Well this piece started as a quick exercise to practice a female portrait but turned into a bunch of exercises to practice skin detailing/painting entirely by hand, reworking my workflow and shading for eye set ups, improving my workflow and shading for hair. During this piece there were some really great portraits that…
Hey man! Saw your frustration on WAYWO and hopefully I can weigh with some advice. I've been spamming likeness portraits for just over a year now and while I'm a long way from being a master I think I've picked up a lot along the way :D In my experience the path to getting a good likeness has two pretty basic steps- 1:…

But colors peeped from a Zorn-painting. sketchbook stuff And a first shot at doing a portrait in oils. actually went pretty well i think. 14x18, from life. The medium is so messy and can be downright exhausting to work with (standing by an easel in Chucks…

The portrait is the most difficult thing to tackle so studying it will teach you a lot. I suggest the Richer anatomy book, Eliot Goldfinger's book, and some of…
Hey all, I've been letting myself get rusty for a long time now, and recently been painting my ass off trying to up my game. There are so many great artists out there that it is both inspiring and discouraging at the same time, but I wanted to post my latest attempts at focusing on improving my painting skills over the…
I was planning to follow that tutorial you suggested (eat 3d portrait http://eat3d.com/maya_portraits) before. So Maya was the plan. It seems a lot of people do high quality portrait renders in maya and there is a lot more documentation on it. However, I never used maya for anything serious. So I'll have to learn a lot I'm…
