Ian McKellen Bust WIP

Hey folks,

I’m doing a bust of this favorite actor of mine for my art test at school and I’m in need of some assistance as it were. I’m not quite feeling satisfied with the general form and shape of the face yet and I think it might help to get some fresh opinions about the progress so far. If something sticks out to you as needing to be fixed, speak up and let me know. Thanks for the help everyone I appreciate it!

Cheeks are a little too sunken and his nose should be higher or pointing more up but it’s coming along great.

Teyon,

Thanks for the tips!

Here’s an updated screenshot, made some adjustments to the nose, eyes, cheeks, chin and neck. Picture 1.jpg

i agree with teyon, the nosie should alsoo be fattened up. cool sculpt !

Teyon has just pointed out two basic areas that you notice first…
check out the earlobes and helix as well…

great start.

this is coming along very well. I’d personally recommend paying further attention to the the last reference image. notice the transition from jaw to neck, the protruding length of the nose, and width of the ear (from cheek to back of the head). Adjusting these things, to start, may give further likeness to your sculpt. keep up the great work!

It’s been busy since school started back up at the start of the month, but I finally carved out some free time and made some progress over the last two days. I think I’m pretty satisfied with the landmarks on his face and I’m gearing up to tackle the finer details (wrinkles, texture, etc) , but if something stands out as needing to be fixed, let me know! Thanks everybody, I really appreciate the help! Picture 11.jpg

Hey everybody,

I finished the wrinkles this week, next I’ll be adding the pores/skin texture. The art test is due (for me) on Sunday, so things are wrapping up. It’s been fun, hope it’s turning out well and I pass the test! Kind of a big deal for me haha
