Reply To: Polybook – Aaron “The Cabbage Detective” Rudderham
Hey there!
So, I got about 40 days to become an expert on anatomy, no problem right? Oh Lord…
Well I’ve been working on the torso so far, thanks to ZygoteBody.com, the book “Anatomy for the Artist”, the CG Cookie Realistic Character Course and a massive thanks to the people over on the Discord who actually know what they’re talking about when it comes to anatomy so they can point out all the stupid mistakes I made.
Firstly, I used the base mesh supplied by CG Cookie and made what I thought was pretty decent, until how much was pointed out:
One thing that was pointed out to me was that using the base mesh probably wasn’t the greatest idea due to not learning proper proportions, so I decided to make my own, and despite having some improperly measured limbs it wasn’t a bad first attempt:
After that, I got to work again and have – what I believe – to be significantly better. Not perfect by a long shot, and I’ll be improving it in the coming days, but in comparison to my first body I modeled in October and even this on here I think it’s better:
I’ll be asking for feedback on this soon (hell, there’s even some things I can point out, like I believe the knees are too low) but for now I’m willing to call it a night. I promise I’ll be checking the other polybooks in the morning as I have gotten rather behind but until then, happy Blending!
