Looking for face references (also whole body if possible)
Hello, l am learning how to do realistic characters on Zbrush and my faces seem a bit off (pictures here), I think that's because I never used any references...

Maybe it feels like a struggle initially? & once you climb the initial hump, it gets easier with practice?

Sketchfab is another fantastic reference for scans of humans as well as classic sculptures - all for free, if you are only interested in viewing them in your browser.

Re: Looking for face references (also whole body if possible)

But I am also afraid that these solution wouldn't help and that the only way for me to improve is to take references and practice a lot... Anyway,… -
Re: Looking for face references (also whole body if possible)
