Small progress update from me today:
1. First run through the videos: Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 finished, Chapter 3 halfway through.
2. Anatomy: Reviewed Bones Label A and started memorizing Labels B (can’t remember them all yet, but will get there – eventually)
3. Practice: Completed Chapter 1: Planes of the Head IV
4. Number of created portraits so far: 0
So far having lots of fun even though it’s been a bit of a struggle for me to get the planes of the neck correct. I had to do a lot of smoothing and re-working, and still some wobbliness remains. So this hardsurface sculpting is something I definitely need to practice more.
It’s been helpful to simplify and exagerate the shapes though, I now actually started seeing the planes in the face of everyone I am looking at.
Watching the videos on the skin texture had me jaw-dropping, very nice workflow and already looking great without even final tweaking.
