Howdy folks, this is my first sculpt and I know it needs some work but if somebody could give me some tips for a beginner how to improve upon this sculpt. Right off the bat I can tell I need some ab work, and the a** looks a bit odd.... but I don't know what to do to fix it. thanks!
I would recommend Scott Spencer's anatomy book too. [ame="http://www.amazon.com/ZBrush-Digital-Sculpting-Human-Anatomy/dp/0470450266"]ZBrush Digital Sculpting Human Anatomy: Scott Spencer: 9780470450260: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]
As well as what others have said about the Loomis books, I'd also recommend picking up the book ZBrush: Sculpting digital Anatomy by Scott Spencer, if you don't already have it. Really helped me with my character sculpting.
Well maybe I should ask this then... for a beginner,what is the best e-book/training dvd to learn to sculpt characters and/or anatomy in zbrush? Something that perhaps will teach me how to look at my own sculpts and anaylize what's wrong with them to make them better.
Yes, I have the ebook version.. I wish I would've bought the hard copy as the digital version doesn't have the dvd that comes with it. But as for my sculpt here, any critics?
ok I refined the back muscles and a little bit on the front area. josh.0, what do you mean by my shapes dont look confident? like defined in the sculpt or stand out-ish?
I havn't had much time to work on this but I started working on this again and aim to finish it. I've sculpted more detail since I last posted and tried to rework some of the muscles to be more anatomically correct. Don't pay attention to the right side of the body, just look at the left, any critique would be appreciated!
No, not if you don't want to. You can use the transpose features + masking inside of Zbrush and resize if you are comfortable with smoothing the ridges out after - fine details will be lost this way, of course. Masking and then transpose + move brush = you can mess with proportions all day long. That's just how I do it…
For learning anatomy, Andrew Loomis is an old stand-by for drawing the human figure, but there is still valuable information to be had for sculptors as well. You should be able to find these free in e-book form with a quick search. I use his child/adult head count references all the time - extremely useful sheets. There…
