Hello everyone. This is my first thread here.
After sculpting a bunch of wrinkly old men, I decided that I should try and sculpt a female head this time. So here’s my first ever attempt at sculpting a female head.
I didn’t use any references on this one, so something’s bound to be off. C&C are welcome.
Time to work on the textures and details. Updates to follow.
Here’s an update.
Erm… does anyone know how to paint specularity in zbrush?
Off to work on the hair. Tips on how to do hair would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here’s an update.

I’m stumped. Is it possible to assign a different material to a subtool?
Pretty much done with this. Don’t think I’ll do the eyes anymore since I want to get started on my character for a competition at school.
…and I think I messed up the proportions anyway.
Pretty nice skin shader. You seem to have used textures to sculpt you hair and skin. Did you use that : mask by intensity,inflat,smooth techique?
I actually don’t know that technique you’re talking about.
I just used alphas for the skin pores and hair. For the hair I just used alpha 58 with the dot stroke and a standard brush.
Hi,
Pretty girl! 
I noticed you asked two questions that nobody’s answered. I can answer one of 'em…not the specularity, but the one about subtools.
You can assign different materials to subtools in ZB3. There are directions in the Help Files, along with a tutorial, I think. All it amounts to is…make sure the top subtool in the palette is active. Click on a material, then click Fill Object (Color palette). Do the same thing for the other subtools, one by one. I think you have to make sure MRGB is on. Once again, there’s a nice section in Help about this topic. Just do a search for ‘paint subtool.’
You also asked for tips on making hair. Ryan Kingslien (I guess he’s on this board somewhere) has wonderful little ‘hair’ movies on his Sculpt.Paint.Create site. I’ll see if I can locate the url for you and come back.
Edit: Okay, here it is. I’ve haunted this site since I discovered it. 
2nd Edit: Thanks to the person who posted the skin (mask, inflate, smooth) technique! I’m gonna try that one.
