2D to 3D! Sculpting a Girl from Start to Finish 💪🏼 GETTING SWOLE 💪🏼

Online Store ► follygon.com
The Appeal Academy ► appeal.academy
It's time for another start to finish sculpting video! This time I am working on a female pose study inspired by a concept from Marco Silvart (www.artstation.com/marcosilvart) of the model Aline Mineiro. I kept this character sculpt a bit shorter because I want to move on to one more smaller project before diving headfirst into sculpting another full character. If you have any cool concept art or characters you would like to see me sculpt in the future, let me know in the comments. I love sculpting beautiful girls but dang is it tough. Making things ugly is easy but whenever I try to create something beautiful it takes forever. There were a lot of really interesting problems that came up while sculpting this girl so I wanted to focus a bit more on those for this video. Plus I think you guys secretly like to watch me struggle ;) Either way, I hope you enjoy the video and maybe learn something new along the way. Until the next one! dueces ✌️

This is incredibly random, but thank you for taking the time to talk about the fundamentals while you sculpt. I’m making a playlist for my younger sister who wants to learn how to draw, and several of your videos feature sections that I think will be really useful to explain 2D vs 3D form and how to think about form, etc. This particular video had some great insights about choosing and working from reference. Thanks for taking the time to share some of your knowledge with us for just a small investment of our time.

[@heyimald7304]

You are by far my favorite 3D artist content creator out there. I've watched a lot of different channels over the years and no one sits and explains their entire process from start to finish the way you do. Most channels just show an extremely fast mock-up of the process and then tell you to buy their course to see the entire thing... Which is very annoying especially if you're a student trying to learn the process, it makes it very hard to get a good understanding of everything. Thank you so much for what you do and many people including myself have learned so much from the amazing artist that you are. :D

[@sqwid12]

Awesome stuff! One thing I wish you’d mention more of, if this is something you find important to your process of course, are the muscles and fleshy landmarks that you’re working on. There was a part of the video when you were working with the forearm and you were sculpting out the muscle over the ulnar ridge, and I was hoping you’d mention something about it. Same thing with the nasolabial fold, or lack there of, on the face. Maybe it’s just me, but memorizing anatomical landmarks and attaching the names to them help me a ton, and I would love to hear your insight and wisdom on that! :D

[@Cusey]

Love your vids man. There really isn't much free content out there with this level of quality, appreciate it.

[@manon7877]

[@DjoresH]

High quality video and sculpting, so glad I stumbled upon you. After the holidays I want to continue learning Zbrush for myself. Maybe in the future you can hold little 3D contests among your viewers from time to time. In my 2D works those helped me grow my skills a lot.

[@KaustavMajumder]

You totally sold me at - "which is Blender" part and started rendering with Cycles. I was expecting some cliche industry standard like KeyShot, Octane, RedShift or Arnold. I haven't used any of the above industry standards. Just heard their names. I have been using Blender since it was pink all over the interface. Yes, 10 plus years. You sir, have showed how powerful an open source software and it's rendering engine can be. Awesome work. Love it.

[@DerianMcCrea]

I think he actually didn't render it with zbrush "colours". But if you are interested, you need to create UV map on your model then convert your polypaint to texture map. Then you can use this texture in your render scene
