Even though I don’t understand half of how the hell we made this bust model, I am proud of it.
And good lord, what a result! Yours turned out exceptionally well, and you have every right to be proud. It took me many, many tries before I could model a head by myself a few years ago. Even when recording this course I had to do it three or so times before making the videos.
For a long time, I wanted to make characters. I had no idea it would be this hard. Be careful of what you wish for. lol
Except for low poly stuff, almost nobody actually makes characters this way. It’s a bit easier to sculpt and then retopologize, but modeling it from scratch makes for much better learning when you’re starting out! Either way takes some series time though, that’s for sure. Speed comes with practice.
Good luck on the final exercise! It’s funny – you may even look back after finishing it and think the same, “how the hell did I make this”, even though it’s all you!
