Figure sculpting sketchbook

[wouter_vugt]

update, tried to get a little bit more balance and better proportions in there

[wouter_vugt]

gonna do "small" studies of different poses and body types during the next 10 weeks.
Meanwhile trying to finish my anatomy figure.

The arms and lats, seratus looking good, the deltoids need to wrap to the rear more and pecs overlapping the neck. I did a similar study in clay a while ago, so these are the things that stood out when I looked at your study ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9loEonQ1Lo )

thanks man,

when I find the motivation I will adjust it. Always wanted to try clay sculpting, how do you get started with that(where to buy materials for example?).

anyway here is a new study;

[johnchen]

Looking good mate. I like all the muscle intersections in this one. I used Chavant NSP medium, its a good all round clay to work with, but its hard to work in small scale as the clay is quiet soft and sticky. I started off with cheap air drying water based clay, but with oil based clay like Chavant, you can reuse it over and over again just by melting it.

nice studies

Nice work on the skeleton and its muscles! I really like you latest anatomical studies, think i wanna try and do a few of those myself when i find the time

[KC-Production]

your improving and improving mate - really nice job on your anatomy studies, I think you are doing it just right!
anatomy studies are the most important thing in my oppinion and definently keep up the great job!
one thing that bothers me maybe you can seperate the arms of the body and than you good to go^^
Cheers and happy sculpting,

thanks man!

another study, sculpting a-symmetrical for the first time.

Run into problems of polycount and topology on the face unfortunatly..

[nebular]

Did you sculpted without symetry from the beginning? It's very good and clean sculpt. Great work

[wouter_vugt]

gonna do some smaller, quick sketches to improve the structure and understand form and flow better.

Here are the first;

[kokoro]

these are great ! are you starting from a basemesh or do you create each one new (if so how? with zspheres?) so curious, since i like your work, and want learn from you :-)

For the posed characters is start with the 8 head mannequin, for symmetrical characters I just start witha sphere.
I used dynamesh on all of them, mainly use the clay build up brush and somethimes the move tool, nothing special.
