Great job with applying the feedback given Kyle. Your sculpt and the likeness really improved since the last post. It definitely feels like Benedict I think adding the hair/facial hair really helped the likeness.

Taylor Swift !

Homework Submission Week 1:

Here is my attempt on Adrien Brody. I am ok with it – all looked so much easier watching Kent doing sculpting 😉 I am still not very familiar with selecting the correct brushes in order to perform the scult I want. I learned a lot and know what I need to practice more.

I had no time to choose any character until now… 🙁 I urgently want to make the concept art myself also, I post a screenshot of it later. Is it ok for you, Kent? If not, I choose this one:

WOW, Kenny fantastic work!!! Congratulations!

Homework Submission Week 1:

[Henrique Celeste]

This is my homework from the first class, i didn’t have time to perfect it but here you go.

As you can see i sculpted a demon (cersei from game of thrones), I hope I did well!

Homework Submission Week 1

Basically it should be dropped to the Recycle bin but posting it as finally worked with it and learnt a lot. Finally it looks like a head, although has nothing common with Jackie Chan 😀

If it should not been shown to anyone, inside would be proud to it as did mainly in the evening hours and last month the brilliant course of Jonathan Lampel – “Mesh Modeling Bootcamp” took me to the dark side from the scuplting, so being happy that at all remembered what practiced in January 🙂 This seems as a tricky balance, sculpting vs. mesh modeling, anyway for me the sculpting is more fun and so love 🙂

Regarding the concept “art” this month, I would like to go with the toy of my one year old baby girl, in the given timeframe maybe could be able to sculpt and even re-topologize:

Reading from a lot of members that did the homeworks in the night hours or even had quarrels in the family :-), for them would like to send there was a song in Europe not long ago “Heroes” by Måns Zelmerlöw ( https://youtu.be/5sGOwFVUU0I ) and with a bit modified text:

We are the heroes of our times..
Dancing with the multitasking in our life.. 🙂

Homework Submission Week 1 : Updated

I worked with a picture of myself for this one.  Had to struggle a bit to push it away from my normal style habits and push things a bit further, but I think its coming along quiet nicely.

Made with Zbrush.  Took the chance to play with fibermesh a bit.  It was my first time using it, and I think it came out decently.  

Edit: selfie for comparisons(Sorry, just got home from work)

Also, here’s the latest in the sketches of the character I’ve been working on while he strikes an unnatural pose.

I plan to clean him up digitally now that I’ve got a day off tomorrow and add some color, volume, and close up detail drawings(especially of the face, which is left rather bare due to the size of this sketch). 

I feel kind of weird taking concepts off of the internet, so I tend to work off of what I can draw.

For a first caricature ever, this is pretty darn good! As long as you’re learning it’s absolutely a success. I won’t critique it super hard since you are in the midst of learning a ton. The one thing I’ll say is that I would have emphasized the slender nature of his face. It looks to me like you went more round which is the opposite of Turturro’s face imo. But still the nose and teeth are pretty recognizable.

The move brush (grab brush in blender) is one of those obvious brushes but super powerful. One of my professors in college exercised his sculpting skills by using only the move/grab brush.

Homework submission Week 1 part 2

And here’s the artwork beta version of my Chimney sweeper kid (name in progress) that I’m going for in the character creation.

[Jake Korosi]

That’s great!  Watching this one develop and the problem-solving process in the thread was awesome, and you really pulled it off in the end.  

[Jake Korosi]

It’s funny you mention the haircut.  It seems to be a theme that a lot of people feel their sculptures are missing the mark in the facial features somehow, but then they add hair and the likeness improves dramatically just from that.  I guess it goes to show that a person’s hairstyle is just as important a feature as the shape of their nose or the length of their chin.

[Kent Trammell]

Great job with Peter Cushing AND Danny DeVito! I love that you did pre-class course work, Darren. I feel like it shows with Peter, given how recognizable your sculpt is. You chose to emphasize the right features imo. I’d place your level of exaggeration at around 25-30% beyond reality. While that’s good enough to achieve a caricature, I would have liked to see 50% + just for the exercise of it.

That’s minor though. You’ve earned an A this week in my book 👏

And I LOVE the character concept you’ve chosen! He’ll look amazing in 3D.
