alien head

HI!
I made this alien head while learning ZBrush.
I hope to texture it although my texturing skills aren`t very good.
If you have any tips for realistic texturing in zbrush, or if you know any tutorials please post them.
Thak you!

Keep walking…

It’s a good start on your model, and I would have to see more progress to really dig in for critique.

My tip for texturing is one, of course, sign up on 3d.sk
It’s a good resource for just about anything you want to reference or obtain texture samples from for mixed layer texturing purposes.

My firm belief in texturing is hone your drawing skills. I don’t know how skilled you are in that department, but I’m just speaking in generalities. Although using photo textures is great, you can achieve believable textures from just making them yourself and mixing them with photos to accentuate characteristics of the texture. Any modeler or texture artist should have good solid drawing skills. Not so much as to say, you can’t model or texture if you can’t draw. There’s plenty of skilled 3d artists out there that can’t draw to save their life. But what if all those skilled artists could draw? They’d accomplish even greater works.

So go signup on 3d.sk, it ain’t cheap, but it’s worth it. And if you aren’t very skilled at drawing, pick up some books on that as well. If anything else, 3d art is an initial investment with great rewards. Cheers!

Thank you Firerbert for your helpful imformation.
My drawing skills are not bad at all but they`re not extremly good :))
