Excellent work @gradyp. Sharp edges, smooth and flat surfaces, along with recognizable primitive forms. You nailed this first part 👍

[Matthew Gayton]

Thank you both!

My first attempts with the pen were not very successful 😉 and I doubt that I could solve these homework in less than a week.Sculpting and working with a pen is relatively new to me.

The live event helped a lot to motivate me and not to give up. In general, the stream was very well prepared , straight ahead and packed with lots of information and very useful for me.

Especially the primitive shape exercises are extremly helpful to get a feeling for sculpting and working with pen. So I tried again with new courage and forced myself to use the pen.

Now I’m glad to have used my old Wacom Touch & Pen and would like to do some more sculpts;)

It´s definetly needs a lot of practice.

Great faces! (And I love the little paper strip on the ‘Hershey’s Kiss’!)

It was a very hard job but I have finnished Melvin.

He is not perfect and there are too much polygons (app.180k) but near the end I was afraid to destroy the whole work doing only one touch too much 😉

So-this is my first sculpt character

But i was wondering why Melvin is looking so stressed. Not really relaxed.

I found the answer -he needs a sister. Look at Melvina 🙂

[Jere Haapaharju]

Haha Melvina 😀 Wonderful.

And good job on both sculpts!

[Zsolt Cseh]

Monaloren just in the case if you would not be aware – you are talented! 

Great idea it is unbelievable that noone thought to Melvina yet 🙂

[LJ Simpson]

These are awesome. Love the expressions.

[LJ Simpson]

Looks great! 

[LJ Simpson]

Love it! Reminds me of a classic WB character.

I tried to sculpt various things. However most of them are very difficult and failed.

The latest my failed piece is “A shantak-bird (Cthulhu Mythology)”.

Uh… 🙁

But now, I start to sculpt Melvin with course videos.

[John Sanderson]

As long as you’re learning something, it’s a total success.  You will want to have this image to look back on a year or two hence. Good luck with Melvin!

[Jere Haapaharju]

It’s important to do what you think is cool and inspiring but too often those things are way too complicated when just learning to use the program. You should  re-sculpt all of those you called fails after Melvin and it will be whole different, keep going

BC1-1801 Week 3 Homework Submission – Part1 Primitives

During the exercise I was just considering, how to scuplt also a Torus? 

The version what thought out by myself that is taking the sphere and in Object mode adding beside a Cylinder and by the Boolean modifier substracting a hole in the middle, then going to Scuplt mode and forming the mesh. 

From the point of view of the mesh quality can be that correct approach? Or the Boolean might creates somewhere bad geometry, although I did not perceive, applied the Dyntopo during the process so presumably it does not matter how the base mesh was created
