Wethand's character illustration sketchbook

Hi,

there is no need for another series of beginner videos for ZB I think, unless it’s your hobby…:wink: In fact there are a lot of them around, Youtube is full of em. For me ZB Classroom is the first place to get in touch with ZB.

BTW: Nice work on the Rifle!

To master the human form you have to get good anatomical knowledge. For me, Burne Hogarths sketching books are a great reference. But be warned, it’s a long way to sculpt perfect organic forms. I’m still scared to post my work here because I think it’s too bad…maybe sometimes…:smiley:

Keep up learning!

greez, RenƩ

hey cuffi,

thanks for your reply.
japs, there are too many beginner series, thats completely right.
but there are not many tutorials in german. and i heard some people complaining about that.
so maybe i will share some workflows on german if i get the time to.

and yeahps, human anatomy is one of the hardest things to learn… Burne Hogarths books are really helpful
but my favorite book about anatomy is this one: Sarah Simblet - Anatomy for the Artist

thanks again for your reply
i was thinking about making a beginner-series in german language, but u are right… there are already too many of them.

Hey Wethand,

I don’t know if there are a lot german users around…Sure, there is a german ZB forum but there are a few members only…

greez, cuffi

Du hast recht: es gibt nicht viele gute deutsche Tutotials, aber wer ZBrush benutzen mƶchte, sollte der englischen Sprache mƤchtig sein, oder? :wink:

Zu deinem Tutorial selbst:
^^ Vielleicht solltest du den Ton extra aufnehmen. Denn das GerƤusch, dass du mit deinem Tablet machst… nunja… hƶrt sich ein wenig eigenartig an (ich lag zeitweise lachen unterm Tisch ^^) und stƶrt auch ein bisschen. (wie kann man denn überhaupt so laut mit einem Tablet arbeiten? XD)

Ich weiß nicht, ob mir dein Tutorial als absoluter Anfänger wirklich weitergeholfen hätte. Aber da du ja sagst, es ist nur eine Einführung, und noch weitere Tutorials folgen, kann man das als sehr grobe Übersicht benutzen, denke ich.

Hoffe, du nimmst meine Kritik jetzt nicht allzu ernst, da ich selbst noch ein AnfƤnger bin, aber gerade deswegen auch gerad mitten im Tutorial-Wust stecke.

Artelanas,
danke für die anmerkung mit dem ton, werde das dann seperat machen.
und englisch sollte man schon kƶnnen!
die zielgruppe meines ersten videos sind leute, die zrbush noch nicht kennen…

cuffi: ja, das deutsche zbrush-forum is nich der bringer… total up to date… und btw. wird das von meinem ā€œex-arbeitgeberā€ gewartet bzw. halt gemacht… was bedeutet, dass ich diese seite immer meiden werde ^^

ich habe noch ein tutorial in dem stil gemacht, werd bei den nƤchsten den ton neu aufnehmen.
thema ist ā€œcustomizing the user interfaceā€
vielleicht hilfts ja dem ein oder anderen:

…damn, pixologic DOESNT STOP TO AMAZE ME!!! i am SUCH a big fan of that software…
