Roberto,

First suggestion: start from a dark ground and work up in terms of value. Remember those Anatomy Reviews? Actually look at them. :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

This one describes the 3 value shading method I prefer:

Anatomy Review 003: SHADING TUTORIAL AND HUMAN SKULL EXERCISE
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=259291

I suggest filling the background with black, creating three swatches ~ one white, one mid~gray, and one black. When in brush mode, alt+click your canvas and your brush will temporarily become an eyedropper, with which you can sample any color or value on which you click.

I would reduce the opacity and softness of your brushes. Use the Shift + [] keys to alternately soften / harden the brush. Shift + [ makes the brush softer, Shift + ] does the reverse.

Use the [] keys to change the scale of the brush. [ makes the brush smaller, and ] makes the brush larger.

Cheers,

~Rk

Far be it for me to go against the word of god or anything (:D), but I rather prefer working from midtone outwards.

Working on atower of babel project for the collab challenge.
I am building one of the figures that will be i the clouds:

Here is the thread:
CollabBATTLE “Exploration” - Ramón López & Roberto Ortiz

And what I have done so far for this figure:

And the model so far…

The proportions are WAYYYY off, and I have to detail the feet, chest and hands.

Hey Roberto,

Can you provide a front and side render of that model?

What’s up with the female anatomy? :wink:

Cheers,

The anatomy’s a little funky on the model, but I assume there’s still work to be done. Nice stylised head/face, though. Post up some wires, too. :slight_smile:
