Update: Decided to make this thread a compilation of all of my progresses instead of just one progress…I think it will save on the creation of many threads :surprised
Hi guys,
This started out as just a 2.5 hour speed sculpt to practice the anatomy of the torso, but now I decided to spend extra time and turn it into another long term project…still a bit low res here so I can make changes…any thoughts or feedback on this?
The sculpting looks great. No crits from me there. What else do you plan to do with it?
Hi Wyatt, looking at this right now, theres something not quite right with the back view of the arms and shoulders. The ears need work but then again its not like Im showing those areas…hmm
And Im planning to refine the face further and the cloth.
So I got back to this after taking a break from it and worked on the face, any critique would be helpful:
also going back to the back…just for studying the anatomy…
Looks good! Maybe I’d work a bit more on making an interesting pose to complement the composition. I mean the guy with red cloth.
Thanks for the advice! Funny you mentioned that because I was actually thinking of purchasing this book on Dynamic Pose: http://www.amazon.com/Force-Dynamic-Life-Drawing-Animators/dp/0240808452/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427740295&sr=8-1&keywords=dynamic+pose
Have you heard of that one? Maybe that can help me with coming up with good poses for my characters…
Looks good! I’d add more volume to nasolabial fold, as it looks a bit flat there. Also you could make the nose bones a bit more defined, where it meets the skull.
About poses, I myself want to study it, I’d check materials from animation, like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsW3jGtmNtA&list=FLLHK1Nw-XmRWrPx0J77FjAg&index=4
Also there’s posing for photos, I think it’s an interesting subject as well

And yeah, perhaps this book also has interesting points!
Mister3d, that lynda video was extremely helpful! I actually have a free account from them since I’m an instructor. Thanks for the video.
I made changes to the nose so you can see the bone, also I made the folds on the cheek a little bit meatier:
These are looking great, I like your progress!
I think the laugh line might be too sharp for a neutral facial expression
Hey Nick, I think I might have exaggerated a bit on it so I will have to do some smoothing out for the final mesh. Thanks for that observation!
Beginning on a female sculpt in Zbrush, just doing the base mesh right now, quick sculpt:
Cool female head, I like how you made the form. The body needs more work still. The man nasolabial fold looks like it was ironed - it should be smoother near the nose.
Hi guys, I smoothed out the area around the laugh line where his lips is more of a neutral pose:
I found time to work on the female again since I’ve been busy ever since school started again after Spring Break had to get my students back on track and stuff. Here’s what I have so far, any feedback is welcome!
Cloth is still rough…still have a lot of manipulation to do
I was messing around with different types of outfits she can wear, I might just stick with the dress! :
Doing multiple things at the same time…my Daredevil coming soon also…still working on getting the anatomy correct on this one
