Lesson learned: Keep the brush strokes short and intentional

[sandmansndr]

I realized in this lesson specifically that it is very easy to start making drastic moves as I get ‘into a rhythm’, only to then forget to look at my sculpt from other angles and realize my sculpt was WAY off!!

Also – I’m attempting to follow some headshots I took from myself but I’m finding this  incredibly difficult because I have to accept certain aspects of my face that I’m not as fond of (like my big nose lol!)

Great advice @sandmansndr,

The good thing is you can sculpt your nose however you like, no one will ever know.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

You’re right that self-portraits are a funny thing. It’s a very valuable exercise in some ways but also kind of humbling or even existential in other ways 😅

@sandmansndr I’m having a similar experience with my huge infraorbital rims. I knew that I had them, but I didn’t KNOW. Now I can look at everyone on her side of the family that’s over 60 and see just how dark and just how puffy they’re gonna get 😅
