Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I got quite frustrated doing and redoing the leg. I never quite get the knees right, and when they're wrong, it messes the whole thing up. I probably need to do some isolated studies of the knees by themselves. So, in order to be productive while being stuck on that, I did the arms in my free time today. Right hand side is… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I'm starting to get really frustrated here. It's just not quite there yet, but looking at it so long is making me too pissed off and too focused to put all my fingers on all the problems. I don't have enough resolution for everything I need here. Maybe I should've gone to at least 32 after all. The checked the proportions,… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I'm really bad at arms. Especially the underside. So hard to get a good angle for those in reference images. So I did this planar one studying from a scan. It might've been a questionable choice; the man has unusually long, slightly disproportionate arms. Well, the anatomy will be the same. Anyway, it's not quite right,… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
Skinny guys are way too hard to sculpt! This guy is seriously difficult. He's just got no shape....Not particularly fat, but little to no muscle to speak of, and so pale the lighting in the reference practically nuked what definition he might have had. In a word....Average. Which is good, because that's what I wanted to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I worked more on the study. Annoyingly, I have to use a second piece for this part. The other scan, while in a very convenient pose, had knickers on that hides a lot of the muscle origins and fat pads and stuff going on around the pelvis, so I had to check something else for the tricky angles and stuff on this one. It's a… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
I think I worked out the problem I've been having. After much brain-wracking and frustration. Partly it's that I don't need to try so hard to make "planar" mean "flat planes"; volume is fine. The other part....Hmm, I think something maybe just clicked in how I'm supposed to look at the reference. Also, I paid proper… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
A few things I've done recently. Arms are really difficult. I should try to focus on the common masses instead of fixating on the individual parts, but I also want to know them properly and not just as vague shapes. I'm still sculpting at a low res to try to check that bad habit of mine, but it's a bit insufficient for… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
Third go. Needs some revisions on the back and front. Especially the back, around the arse. That's horrible. Rushed it. I got the front a bit better, but I'm still not really happy with it. I did start a fourth go, but I decided I should just stick with it for now. After I finish the course, there's nothing stopping me… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
@Rima I think the scans are certainly helping, her back particularly from neck to buttocks, I'd suggest don't make any further revisions just yet and tbh they'll only be extremely minor tweaks to finesse if you decide to do anyway. As for the front, pelvic region is proportionally correct I'll also probably add clavicle… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rima
After a few bad days, I did some more sculpting today and made a bit of progress. I'm still not happy with it! It feels like it's getting somewhere, but it's not there yet, that torso. Especially the hips and upper back. I'll have to recheck what I'm doing there with the anatomy, because it definitely doesn't seem quite…
