My advice would be, always use reference. Bernini and Michelangelo used reference. I think the forehead shape (t-zone) is working out quite well. Smooth out the entire mouth/lip area and focus on getting the large shapes/angles right. It might be a good idea to find reference images of one actress in particular and then…
I got a G500 about a month ago and I love it. You can use the buttons on it for macros in PS and Max. In photoshop I have the dpi +/- buttons set to brush size and the back/forward buttons to zoom. Not saying you need to spend $50 on a mouse, but I would at least recommend one that has that lip that your thumb rests on on…
Yeah, that method is useful where most of the mesh consists of the parts that prone to skewing(as in that example, a radial cog with lot's of screws etc on the surface), other than that normally it's somewhat predictable where skewing might occur so the places to add support loops. I feel like in some specific cases it can…
Yea we got a gym here on campus. Ive been hitting on my lunch hour for almost a year now. Before that i was running tri's and doing work outs that revolved around hard cardio. At this point im just trying to add some mass and keep it. Im 6'2" 180lbs. if i could hit 195 - 200 id be happy =) So ill go opposite direction and…

Anuxinamoon - thanks for your reply. That does help. I've had a play around with the lathe tool actually, and I was amazed that you could draw just half an outline, then have it whirl round in a circle and create a 3D object, like supersonic pottery. Certain things like that, as well as some of the…
---- February 2010 Stick ---- Hey once again to my fellow polycounters! I have completed one more stick! This time I decided to go for an old school theme with some half tone stuff. I think it turned out pretty good except for the fact i cut a tiny bit too much off of one of the corners on the design template. . . . but...…
I like a nice coffee to be awake, alert and energized. I like a nice beer to compliment a great dinner. I like a nice whiskey when casually socializing. I like a nice shot when partying. I like a nice cigarette to chat with people in the evening air. I like a nice bit of weed for time with friends and a movie, or a late…
Lefty. Like others mentioned, got a good leg up on using both hands because of using a mouse with my right hand. One day a while back I just tried writing with my right hand, imagining that I was just writing something in PS with a mouse....and realized it was fairly easy. Was good enough that people couldn't guess which…
Good stuff, Justin! I'm thinking there would be a few of us interested in a more in-depth video if you decide to make one. I've been trying to find a good tutorial going over how well 3dCoat integrates with Zbrush. Maybe this is possible in zbrush and I have no knowledge of it, but I'd really like to do all my sculpting in…
