Grugi´s Zketchbook

Hello everybody, welcome to my Zketchbook, where I´ll collect all my sculpts and quick studies from now on.

This is an exercise with my left hand only, because my right arm is broken.
I have a really boring time at the moment,so I thought I´ll give it a try.

It was really hard at the beginning, but it is getting better from day to day.

This is my first serious try. It took me maybe 3 times longer than working with my right hand+shortcuts and it´s hard to work accurately, but still makes fun.

nicely done…it looks like a real sculpture:) :slight_smile:

Left hand… thats tough. When I was in art school (long time ago) I broke my right hand in a car accident and had to learn to write and paint with my left. It forces you to think differently about your artistic decisions and I actually came out of the experience with some additional skills.

Good stuff for either hand if you ask me.

Thank you guys.

jbuck - I totally agree with what you´ve said. Working with the left hand is an interesting experience. It forces me to think much more about every stroke and move I do.

It´s really slow to work with just one hand, but I created an UI which works pretty good. I have to use the On-screen keyboard sometimes, though.

I take a small break from the sculpture and started something new.

I´ve started again with a skull, but this time with a basemesh I did in Silo.

Something new… it´s still in the blocking stage.Clothes are just placeholders for now. Next I have to refine the shapes and add more detail.

Hope you like it

Update… I will add some forehead wrinkles next. The crappy eyebrowes are just temporary :wink:

still with the left hand? :stuck_out_tongue:
great work for either hand man, nice sculpts.

i think the forms look more defined on the previous iteration of that head is all, might be an idea to drop down a few dlvls and refine the major forms a little, just a thought tho.

keep it up :smiley:

Thanks for your reply. Yes I still have to sculpt with my left hand, I got used to it after some time, but in higher levels it´s really hard to work accurate.

Maybe the material flattens the sculpt a litlle bit, I can see now the difference to the previous screenshot. But maybe you´re right that the major forms smoothed out too much when I subdivided the model. I will take care of that,thanks. :slight_smile:
