Drake head

#1

hey, i posted this picture in the main WIP but havnt gotten any replies so far.
Tell me what you think, if you need better views, ill try to make some. Its hard to do that with yayfray, since it makes it look a little choppy. Anyways be honest and tell me how it looks, if it lookslike crap or is a decent piece of work, ive acually learned to use Hard and Soft edges now. Thanks

#2

ok since no one replies heres a version where its not smoothed at all.

#3

Too “square”.
Very little organic like.
:shrug:

Best regards

#4

exactly what do you mean with very little organic, as in detail? Exactly how do i make things look organic. This is so hard to figure out by yourself. And Internet Tutorials Confuse me… :cry: :hmm: :banghead: :argh:

What I mean is that it looks like it is artificial rather than a living creature.

The upper lip is too straight, so is the lower, you don’t have a mouth cavity, its too open.
The ear like things are too stretched, like they were pulled out of the skull.

Tou should add a little more detail on some parts and make better transitions between parts (I hope I could explain myself properly).

Best regards.

I like how you apparently used smooth and then continued on modeling/tweaking.
I think it’s a great way to learn how to manage your surface and forget about all this edgeloop madness until you get a good feel of shaping things,Wings is good at both :slight_smile:

What JP means is that the head is not groovy enough,take it for a magnet/vector tweak ride.

Look at it from the front and puul down good number of poly,this’ll take care of part of the ‘Squareness’.

The ears are definitely too straight from most angles so curl them slightly,tweak the geometry inside of it to create some inner shape,extrude/cut some polygons before if more detail is required.

In addition,I would try to pump up the tip of his top-mouth and make either a rounder or spikier shape,you can get interesting results sometimes by experimenting.

thanks for the tips, ill try it out, and try to find it. Its hard to understand exactly what your telling me, but ill just have to read your post a couple of times. Also I should take time to find some good toturials but usually they never help. Im bad at Sketching what i want to model, I just Start with a square and start forming it… lol. Anyways, Ive seen the Tweek command so ill try that, thanks.

#8

ok things i have problems with:
The Tweak option doesnt have a measure on it.
and the Eye is messed up, i used the insent comand, and i dont know how to fix it… usually when i get to this stage I start over the mode… if i do this, any recommendation what shape i should use? im using a square. Thanks
