Sculpting Practice

Time for a gargantuan post! I wanted to do more art projects this year. My goal is to do a medium-sized art project (one that takes more than a few days to do) each month.

My first such project was in ZBrush. I have been wanting to learn ZBrush for years now but the "weird" interface has (needlessly) discouraged me from doing so. Well, I decided to finally stop making up excuses, sit down, and start learning the program. These past few weeks have been devoted to figuring out the interface and tools in ZBrush, as well as creating a bust of a made-up character.

Not much reference was used for this piece (it shows) but it was extremely satisfying to work on and I think it turned out well for a first test. Below is my progress chronologically.

The beginning of the face:

The full model, complete with eyeballs and polypaint:
