hugh laurie aka dr.house wip

Basically my first bigger work in zb. still work in progress.
I love the character he’s creating in the show.
Because I’m using 3.5 I couldn’t use any reference planes so it’s just based on looking at ref photographs. C&C much appreciated.

hi :slight_smile:

nice portrait! i dont know dr.house that well so i
can only judge from the foto. i think your are very
close. where the eyebrows move down onto the cheek
(i think its called bridge or somthing?!) this area seem
to be more distinct. aswell as the temple area.

I think you should put some hair on him around his face, then it would look more like him. It does already, but that would add more to it.

Thanks guys.

Zmith[21]: yep there is few main things to fix.

Adio: you’re totally right, could you recommend some technique do do it so it look good?

I’ve done this exact angle a couple of months ago.
You need to keep an eye out for the silhouette of the face.

Also keep in mind that the reference image shot with a certain focal length so keep checking the head by turning perspective on and off.

Take a front render out from zbrush and place your face over on the source image and you’ll know what I mean.

Good luck!

quite a close copy id say, only the wings of the nose should be more distinct on the upper part i think, and the ears could be closer to the head i guess
maybe just maybe try some slightly more concave/rounder cheeks too, they seem a bit too harsh in the perspective view imo

@khalavi
i remember yours, that one was really well done indeed :+1:

khalavi, man I just saw yours :), grate job ! About the perspective on and off thingy… this is one of my problems, first i started to model with pers off, then turned it on and am , totally wrong … so I moved back to pers and I think it’s better to model with pers on when using ref photos. Anyway still a lot of work in front of me. But thank you all again for all comments.

quick render test:
