Memery aside (i'm not that guy), this is a good way to start I suppose.
I open refs and they're only from the front and from the side with ambigous lighting, I can't grasp the form.
The book "anatomy for sculptors" has two pages for skulls and they're all male

Practice with good breakdowns before doing practices from reference, such as:
Anatomy for sculptors, and face anatomy by Zarins.
Mangamaterial drawings (check on kemono.party)
Bammes (German Art Teacher) Drawings

You can also check out Bridgman, do it for the soul, his drawings (pictures of the chalkboard when he teached) are kinda lacking versus above but he was exaggerating forms so the class would get it.

And that is the point, good artists have these strong geometrical designs in their heads, and then they just apply it to reference or imagination.
So their sculpts have strong, confident form versus the bumpiness you get when you're trying to figure out reference but you didn't come up with a construction for it.

You can find an example of this on Gio Nakpils Mastering Organic Modeling, where his Primary form is all huge cylinders, spheres, boxes, etc. Secondary forms are still these big basic shapes to join the huge Primary forms. But basically he focuses on the construction of these huge forms and stuff like pores and texture are relegated to the fourth forms (after the Tertiary forms), and it just works, because if the Primary Forms are properly constructed, everything else will just fall into place.

I lurk on the /ic/ archives (warosu) to download this stuff, I wonder if cgpeers has their registrations open.

Theres other interesting teachers like Scott Eaton, he has anatomy courses with lots of tips and good reference elike bodies in motion, but hes not that good at more artistic topics like form, his sculpting videos are a messy use of clay brush that magically results in a leg (these things happen after decades of experience), you don't really get the strong shapes and forms, which is why it is refreshing to see people like Gio sculpt.

Anonymous at Thu, 10 Feb 2022 22:22:34 UTC No. 881535

>>881523
And talking about confident form versus reference bumpiness.
Look at the neck, reference has this bending cylinder form underneath all of it, but you ignored it, either because you don't trust yourself and your shape simplifications and wanted to lay on the sternocleidomastoid to "be truth to the reference", but doing it this way your neck form is completely different, it has this boxy triangular shape instead of the strong cylinder shape of the reference.
So focus on primary forms (cylinder of neck in this case), ignore sternocleidomastoid for later (which is more of a secondary shape), and then when you place the sternocleidomastoid on top of the cylinder shape its just going to fall into place and just work.

Also on blender use dyntopo with a constant detail setting, remesh hinders expression to be honest and its better to use it for creating a multiresolution mesh later on.

It would be a crime for me to drop sculpting now, since you've given such elaborate advice

I have anatomy for sculptors by Zarins opened every time I sculpt for over two years now, seems like I've been looking at the book wrong way.

>>881535
Yeah primary forms are lacking, I feel it strongly right during sculpting process.
Maybe it's the low spacial awareness issue.
Like they say, women have lower spacial awareness and that's why they're bad at driving. Well, I've sat behind the wheel by myself two times:
- first time I didn't fit into the gate into the courtyard and have squashed a side mirror
- second time I've passed the gate but destroyed the flander while passing the gate into the garage

>>881536
Huh, some people strongly recommend not to use it, others don't see anything worng with it. I'll try

I feel like faces and bodies is just a matter of practice and pic related is my second human face ever. I think I'm gonna go for a buff male elf, I don't know quite yet, I'm freestyling.
But I'm mostly aiming to improve my workflow especially when making clothes/armors and accesories.

You're probably right about the turning off the brain, I've followed the "Drawing with right side of the brain" book, it has the same advice and actually helps to switch it with excercises. Unfortunatel, at the time I've tried it, it was too painful to follow with pencil and paper because no ctrl+z.
So what do you want to achieve?

Fix the volume and shape of the head for start (top view. The back of the head should be wider than the front. Like an egg shape). Also the forehead shape should be flatter i think (also on the temple level)
Also look at the side of the mouth compared the dummy on the right. They should be pushed in a little bit (do it from the right view with the move brush with a low intensity)

Thanks, I see. I should see it all myself, but I'm grasping at some key points, like how for example this area on top of an ear is the widest. And not seeing others while trying to conform to those.
About the mouth, I have it ingrained in me that nose tip => mouth => chin must form a straight line. But the blockout example indeed doesn't have a straight line.
Just practice consistently and in a year it's gonna be alright.

I'm seeing first results already: my hand is shaking a lot less when selecting a brush in photoshop or a different matcap in blender.

I was talking about the sides of the mouth, I tried to represent it with in the green circles. A goo tip would be to look at your head from the top view (not 100% top but enough to see the horizontal curvature of the mouth area.
Well like I just said, the mouth should make a curve with the center of the lips being (like you said) aligned with the nose and chin) but the sides should be pushed IN the face.

Learning male facial form is still learning facial form. You just adjust which features are more prevalent.

Same with body stuff.

Males and females happen to have the same muscle and bone structure, fortunately. Once you learn the fundamentals of those structures, it will be much easier to manipulate them to represent anyone (male or female) you want.

Vulgarly, taken from Cambridge Diccionary:

I guess it works but I think you meant to say "...by blocking each part bluntly/indecorously/crudely"
but whatever, I get what you mean
I think either the pelvis might be too big or the upper part is still small, mind posting the front and side views?
The pelvis seems as if he had no natural back tilt, looks as if he was pushing his crotch forwards.
Arms are very small, the triceps are non existent and the hands are really small, but as you said, it was put very roughly

Males and females literally do have the same muscle and bone structure, fundamentally. We're both human, so it's all the same muscles, they all connect in the same way, the same skeleton, etc. The difference is in the proportions, which you can manipulate to your liking when you have fundamental understanding of anatomy.

Similarity isn't the same as equal, with your example I could say that chimps are the same as humans but we differ significantly in our structure.
The change in "proportions" ARE the structural difference.
When you talk about proportions, you have to compare an object to the same type of object because they have a closer similarity in multiple fields, that's how you say that a race is generally taller than another, have different eye shapes, etc

Clavicles look too horizontal and deltoids are very small, maybe the torso is a bit too long but it might jusy look like it because the ribcage is kind of short or tilted forward but it's quite good I may say

I think the legs are too long, are you sure it's 8 heads tall or you haven't checked?
The arms might look small in comparison with the legs and that might be the issue, you can also give him much more volume in the arms, deltoids can reach more towards the center of the humerus, biceps and triceps should be bigger from the side than from the front, forearms do the opposite.
The ribcage is a bit short, you could stretch it down a bit and he needs latissimus dorsi muscles.
The chest muscles need to be more square-like, move the center parts where the xiphoid process should be (that's the end of the sternum)

Not really, i find it only people who draw in a specific way with big focus on forms, volumes and perspective over design and silhouette are the only ones who translate good to 3d as the have a "3d" way of looking at things already.
Rest seems just as bad as anybody who starts from scratch, they have to train themself to read volumes and depth rather than just outlines, though good anatomy knowledge really helps.

Cant tell a thing about your model with those angles, use standard front/side views unless its a beauty render

I've seen that anon's work before, he has a great work ethic. I could see why he wouldn't like the term since it as implies that he didn't put effort into it, which is completely false. He certainly has sculpted from scratch before and his models look tremendously good regardless. It's so transformative to the point where you can't tell it's origins.

Nothing wrong in having pride for your work ethic, especially if it results in making good stuff like he does.. It beats being smug and posting nothing out of fear that you would be criticized.

I think you're projecting a bit out envy but you shouldn't worry. You might be sad that he's better than you, but the difference between you and him is that he invested more hours than you did.

Working a little bit more in this character. If Zbrushfags could help with a few problems I'm encountering:
- I'm trying to reduce the polycount to work on more general shapes but Zbrush won't let me Zremesh nor use Dynamesh. I tried to reconstruct and freeze the subdiv level but it tells me that it can't because the mesh contains triangles. So what should I do now ? (Tbh I'm not really sure of what should be done exactly when trying to reduce your polycount, etc.)
- I'd like to move the arms a little bit towards the back, what would be the correct process when you're already advanced in your sculpt?

You unironically could. They literally have the same primary muscles, they look the same, insert the same way and function the same way.

It seems like you're implying that if someone can sculpt an average human male, they can't sculpt a juiced bodybuilder, because they have vastly different proportions and are now completely different. If I know how a tricep works, how all the 3 heads are attached and how the surrounding muscles interact with it, it doesn't matter if it belongs to a female, male, gorilla or an alien. They would all be the same. How do you think people sculpt shit that doesn't exist? Refer to the universal anatomy manual for things that don't exist?

Also just an fyi, nobody in work sculpts from a sphere. Everyone uses basemeshes. Obviously if you're learning you should know how to do it from scratch, but if the result is the same, you don't get any brownie points for "not cheating". Nobody cares, except for little bitches like you.

I think we are approaching this from very different points, let me state my argument.
You said
>Learning male facial form is still learning facial form. You just adjust which features are more prevalent.
>Same with body stuff.
I do not disagree with all of this.
Then you said
>Males and females happen to have the same muscle and bone structure, fortunately.
This implies that males and females are exactly the same, same hips, bone density, muscle capacity, cranium, etc.
I disagree with this point because I think both sexes have very different structures (I'm not talking in a fundamental level, we are different enough to be able to classify male and female bones looking at their structure i.e their density, length shape, etc) because of that it is worthy, in my opinion, to study and make their structures in their own field, so, if I want to make a skull (a male skull) I study the structure of the (male) skull, same goes for the female one.
another anon replied
>This statement is factually wrong, unless with "structure" you mean the AMOUNT of bones and muscles
I would replace "amount" with "shape and density" but still agree because it is not stated that you mean in a "fundamental level"
Then you clarified
>Males and females literally do have the same muscle and bone structure, fundamentally.
We're both human, so it's all the same muscles, they all connect in the same way, the same skeleton, etc.
Agreed but only in a "fundamental level"
>The difference is in the proportions,
Incorrect, the difference is still structural, but you are now comparing the two in a specific level.
That would imply that, in a specific level, females and males are identical, which is not the case.
Proportions apply only when you talk about the same kind of object, you can even say "human proportions" and compare them to "non-human proportions" because they are contained in their own category.
That's what I meant.

Anonymous at Thu, 24 Feb 2022 08:09:15 UTC No. 884365

>>884364
Now, then, if we talk about things that don't exist, we have only what we know as a point of reference. That means, we often use the "fundamental structure" of something to make whatever we have in mind.
Let's say that I wanted to make an alien, if I used a human structure and only changed the proportions then I would just have a human that happens to be called an alien, as it would be exactly the same as a human, so, no structural change.

>Your sculpting is very good were you using any books in particular? I tried with the anatomy for sculptors books but didn't really like the overtly abstract shapes they use.
nah, i never watched a tutorial or read a book, too lazy
i just sculpt something now and then but i always compare my work to good artists and just ask myself "is it good enough", but thats compared to how much time i got, i could put another 10h into the sculpt and really iron out the anatomy and detail, but thats a week worth of free time
i got the build up / flatten workflow, so i start with smaller shapes and build them up with clay brush, if i go too far i flatten back to form planes
your works look pretty good, you main problems are the shape of the cheek bone especially the zygomatic arch, and mostly upper eyelid shape is too thick, i would really cut in the upper eyelid with slash, also put in eyeballs will help you shape eyelids, i mean you can challenge yourself with just doing it freehand, but it good to get a practice of good eyelid shape, personally i just work a bit at a time spinning model a lot
but overall its pretty good, good big volumes, just sharpen up the sharp parts


>>884790
for animation?
Those bevels on finger joints arent really needed, they just annoy me when im skinning, and you only get 2 extra loops to smooth the bend.
On knuckles its a mess, the streaking will be awful, those tris will bunch up geo in weird locations, and i would pull those loops back overall. For glove you want it to be denser than fingers, the outer ring of a cylinder should be denser than inner for good bakes and good look.

You can find a lot of anatomy and anatomy reference books on e-hentai. Just use tags like “anatomy” and “artbook”. Be sure to scroll through the pages because the first few might just be porn, but when you look, you’ll find shit like 60+ year old anatomy books

Thanks, this is legit, I'm a frequent visitor there (for pose reference purposes of course)
But my Browsec VPN extension monthly subcription couldn't be renewed recently because of the war I suppose. Payment processor has blocked the request blah blah blah
Can't visit e-hentai now =D Not that I have time for this

Jump ship to what? Most of the 3d discords don't allow erotic sculpts because they are run by industry trannies and women. EXP points always has the same 5 guys jerking each other off. Same on Flippednormals.

Saw this thread and anons posting their studies and wip so I going to take this opportunity to seek some advice.
Did this one today, kinda okay with it, but there are some things that I just can't get.
I know the area in the eyes are fucked, yet I can't put my finger on it. Same for the size of the upper part of the head, I think it's too big, but when I adjust it just seems to become too small. Profile and 3/4 view could be better, I think I didn't looked around the model enough. Cheeks and chin are a little weir, but again can't put my finger on it. Ears could be better, but compared to my other ones those are an improvement.
Any tips anons?

For the eyes, it looks like they're too close. Rule for eye distance is one eye between each eye. So make the further apart. Also distance from one eye to the end of the face is half an eye usually. The head seems close but the main issue is the shape of it. The top is too flat and the back of the head should be at it's farthest straight from the nose. So imagine a line from the base of the nose going to the back of head, the head should be at it's biggest there, yours looks too high up.

Otherwise pretty good, I like your nose and ears.

Another one, (tried) fixing the cheeckbones, eyes, mouth, general shapes, probably gonna refine more and I'll try a couple different texturing techniques I've been wanting to try for a while.
>>885498
Honestly, I'd scrap it, go and do a few studies following the anatomy for sculptors book, another tip would be to get model from one of the recent capcom games, you can get them on devianart, open it with xnalara and export to maya, then export the head to obj and open that on zbrush, so that way you get a 1 on 1 reference, try to copy that.

I'm new here, why is it so difficult to make "real" looking humans? Obviously our perception is sensitive to slight imperfections in humans.

Super quick alpha pass, realized I'm gonna need some high ress references, do you guys know where I could get some really high res pics of faces and wrinkles and that kinda stuff?

>>885681
exactly, we look at people everyday and so a slight imperfection in a human face sends you down the uncanny valley.

This is what i meant, this is the noctis model from ffxv, you can study the shapes / planes to better your understanding of shape.

I only have one question anon: if you look at pic related what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it meh, hot or are you grossed out by it somehow, like something is off? Even if it's just meh I'm ok with it, it means it does its job at actually looking like a woman. Now I gotta admit it ain't 100% anatomically accurate nor do I aim for it to be so, I'm sacrificing some anatomical correctness for a bit of simplification/stylization. Next up I'll focus on the feet (obviously), gonna pretty up them tits and refinish the arms

Also here's a song I was listening to while making this because why the fuck not

Can I start my 3D journey with ZBrush instead of Blender? I know that I will eventually need to learn it as well (UVs, Retopo, blahblahblah), but sculpting appears a bit more interesting to me.
I don't have any experience with 2D art, so I'm not sure if modeling will make sculpting any easier (or vice versa).

you don't really need to do uv/retopo for concepting, but being able to do them even at a basic level will make you more appealing

I started with blender but zbrush feels a lot more "artistic".. as in it feels like you're genuinely sculpting.

Blender I use every day but it's a bit like painting without looking at the canvas sometimes. You can scrape and smooth all you want but sometimes your mesh just gets fucked up beyond saving and it's hard to figure out why. It feels bad.

Anyone here uses Marvelous to import clothing into Zbrush?
My question is: Is using Marvelous a good idea when you got for stylized characters? I'd like to avoid that uncanny shit that happends when you have a cartoonish character wearing realistic looking clothes

Stylizing uses the same principles as regular designs, what you'd be doing switching up things which come down to tweaking the design. So you'll exaggerate or simplify depending on what youre going for.
Keep in mind stylization is a broad term.
So making something like Pixar and making something anime would require different design choices, but nothing that MD prevents you from doing since all you're doing is tweaking things that already exist and are doing.
