Attempting a likeness of Pinhead in Zbrush. Trying to figure our the all the detail nuances the program has to offer
Richard Husky
Made some improvements to this piece and would love feedback from any observers.

I was inspired to take a stab at planar head. Completed in Blender.

Really awesome! I love the comic book like stylization of the features. the cheekbones might be a little wide in comparison with the back of the head. remember the widest point of the head is above and behind the ears when looking at the head from the front view. Keep it up and I look forward to seeing more!

Just finished this assignment. Any feedback and critique would be great. I sculpted digitally instead of traditional method. These knowledge can be transferred to methods. Thank you for the lesson Andrew.
Richard Husky
I have been a slacker to Proko, and really need to sign up for this course. However, after leaning toward more sculpting in digital thought I would give a shout out to Manthiravel M. I like what you have here. Everything looks smooth and crisp. The one thing that stands out to me most is in regards to ear of this bust. If you would draw a line or even hold a straight edge, in profile, from brow to back of head then you would see what I am talking about. Your ear is above that line. Also, from profile, the ear is typically center of the head yours appears to be floating toward the back of skull because of it's size. I feel like narrowing it a bit and moving forward slightly would help that. One minor comment would be to have a concave depression between lower lip and chin. Other than that I think you have an excellent grasp on this lesson...well done!
@aristotle
Very nice! I haven't tried digital sculpting yet. Do you find that the skills you gain in digital transfer to traditional, and the reverse?
Richard Husky
That’s a good question Aristotle! Really have not given much thought to it. So, forgive me, I’m not quite sure how to answer. However, I would probably lean toward the reverse that it is better to learn traditional then move to digital (maybe I can get a little kick back from Mr. Keith for my plug). Seriously though, with traditional there is no undo function. Symmetry algorithms save you from sculpting the same thing twice…etc…Coming from traditional preps you for methods of construction, helps you understand the forms and structure. All the computer does (once you learn program) is simplify the process. Hope that helps!

Whipped a couple of these bad boys 1” per head height and 1/2” per head height . Posed smaller one…

Looking great! be sure the hips aren't too wide because once the clay is added it stinks to run into the wire. Better for the hips to be too narrow because you can always add to them.

Male Torso
Well, I had every intention is doing the $5 challenge and could not break myself away from the digital (you know...less mess). So, here is the sketch made in Zbrush from the male reclining reference provided for the challenge
Richard Husky
Just watched this, and, yeah, it's much simpler than approaches I've used. Gonna give this a try.
Andrew Joseph Keith
Glad to hear it!
Richard Husky
I can't say this was my worst project, but it was early on in the learning process. Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to photograph my first piece (which was worst than this...big head, wrong proportions, no anatomy) And, This was back when we were still processing film, so I was a cheap skate ;) I will say that there is something very humbling about photo documenting...Just when you think it looks good-take a picture (it sucks after that). Nonetheless, this was not one I was very fond of and is good candidate for pointing out errors.

found a back shot...

Very Funny!!! However...Hmmm, how to approach this... So, okay...I can understand why it would not be appropriate to blast this topic out on youtube. But! Are we not getting the short end on the stick...uh well, missing out on some important details involving the pelvic areas. Definitely a premium video that fills in the mystery hole in the bottom of pelvis. Right? You know, medically speaking, just trying to understand how the, uh [cough] package hangs out there. On a serious note: Wasn't sure if there was any noteworthy musculature or information around these areas to consider. For example; I was unaware the penis originates from under the pubic symphysis. Apart for medical studies did not know how much artistic anatomy would apply? Like how much fat would these areas accumulate... Not trying to be pervy...just curious how it all goes together.
Richard Husky
Yep, looking forward to the tips on this feature.
