3D Model a Character in Maya 2022: Catra - Start the Head

The head is complicated to 3D model due to how flexible our faces are. It's important to have proper topology so that the face can have realistic expressions. In this video tutorial, we will continue modeling Catra from Netflix's series She-Ra. This time, we will begin to model the face, getting proper topology down, before completing the rest of the head.
Let's get started!
Software used: Maya 2022

[@NickEnchev]

1:26 should be your video thumbnail, made me chuckle. Great video!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Lol! My beautiful 2D art work!

[@momojawwad5660]

I'm so happy you covered custom heads from reference! I know you did the Calico video wayy back but it's been really nice to just see an updated form for facial expressions from a 2d stylized reference

Excellent content for beginners thank you mam

[@estephan90]

very cool to know this method. i usually use a cube first then smooth it, then do what you did here for the face.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

A cube is also another great way to start. :)

[@tomasla9345]

thanks for sharing! great method.. if anything maybe a little lower "alpha gain" in the reference pictures like in 16:58 ....is hard to read the topology... but maybe is just my screen.. thanks again!
