Third time lucky...
Hi guys, starting a sketchbook to keep all my scultps in one place, and to hopefully see a steady improvement, and get help along the way. Have lurked on this forum for some time and i have seen some very inspiring stuff! Hopefully i can get to that level some day. I have just started using zbrush a couple of days ago, and i am posting my first sclupt which i started yesterday. Please critque it as harshly as you like, as long as its constructive :lol: Hopefully get some pointers on how to make my next scult better...oh ignore the ears...planned to have him wearing headphones.

Here is my second sculpt ever, tried my hand at doing some anatomy. Started with the male torso, i found the side area around the ribs (think they're called the serratus anterior muscles) very hard, anyone got any pointers for doing them better?

well as for both the sculpts very nice but as for the head

[1] his forehead is not folding right

[2] i think the neck is too long

As for the body sculpt but heres what i think needs to be done

[1] the sholder mucles need some work

[2] the torso is not connecting with the deltoyds [im not sure if im saying ti right]

3 the belly botton needs work

and for the side mucils you ask about well i would use masking to do it

but very assome work

Thanks for the pointers 3D-User, ill make sure to take a look at what you pointed out and hopefully my next sculpt want have these flaws :cool:

Oh and does anybody know why my posts are taken hours to appear? I'm guessing its got something to do with me being new to the forum?:confused: When i post a picture it shows on the top row of thread pictures...but doesnt actually show up on my thread for a couple of hours.

Hey guys, working on my first full character sculpt and thought i would do captain falcon! I can see many challanges ahead with this model, especially since ive done nothing like it before so all crits are very welcome! Want to get the anatomy right first. Here is where the model is now.

Feel free to do any paint overs/CC to help me get this right!
Cheers
