I posted this on CG Society, but thought I’d post it here too. I haven’t really been active on this forum, but now that they’ve asked me to participate in the beta, I’ll be around a lot. I was glad to see the previous post “Study of Anne” and hope to see more like it.
I’ve been doing 3 hour 3d figure studies in front of live models for a while now. Needless to say zbrush is an integral part of that process. They are quick sketches, meant to study form, texture and light. There is no better way to study than in front of a live model. I encourage all of you to try it. Go to a local painting workshop with a 3 or even 6 hour pose. I’ll post some of them here sometime (or you can see some of them >>here<<.
I haven’t been to figure painting in a while, my wife and I just had our first baby. So in the mean time, here is a finished piece based off of my studies. There is a high-res (3k) version >>here<<.
