Anatomy & Character Sculpture [EXERCISE]

 

INSTRUCTIONS :

EXERCISES

we started of for understanding human anatomy along with the skull so there will be both drawing studies and sculpting studies.

Head studies :

for me head is quite familliar but my style is tooned or not realistic and achieving it is quite hard, i did some test for making semi realistic since if it's too realistic i'd probably fail

then i tried to make or block out shapes/lines based on a model and observe them both female and male

after making the outlines i continued more on the zbrush. i iam for a less realistic and more tooned like, i kinda like Danny Mac 3D. but making the shapes is harder than i thought 

First attempt

2nd attempt

2nd attempt

For the Hand studies i did some hand practice, again i dont draw it realistically since that not what im aiming for

i also did hand on zbrush as well, it turned out very diffrent from what i draw, looks almost realistic, I use Zsphere since it's easier to do the fingers using zspheres for me

When i do foot studies, i realize that im having troubles at making the toes and i feel like i need to practice it more but i also did study some gestures with it so it's kinda fun

for the zbrush part of the feet, i guess it's really just hard for me to make feet from spheres, maybe i should try zsphere like i did with the hand?

and from this on i continue with body and make a breakdown of their poses

i also did a muscle study, making another breakdown and making a female body in zbrush

and i actually did try to do body, i didnt screenshot the blockout but i did screenshot the finalize shape

REFLECTIONS:

Experience : 

i like to draw and study gestures, but honestly for me zbrush feels like a limit to me, some of them dont work the way i wanted. i do like drawing gestures, faces but i think Zbrush is not my forte or my go-to honestly, but i just have to do this for module either i like it or not.

Observation : 

i have to pay attention to the detail of the body, for body and hand its easy but for feet and butt.. not really, it's so challanging for me :\

Findings : 

i really like making hand in zbrush, i find an easier way with zsphere, but the rest is kinda hard, and honestly some of the settings is doesn't work the away i wanted...

for drawing anatomy is actually quite fun, i do learn something from the muscle study and i applied to some of my drawings and practicing semi realism is fun too.
