Blender Tutorial - Simple Stylized Hair Tutorial - Stylized Character Modeling

It makes a huge difference when the tutorial includes an audio explanation, and a bit of a sense of humour too. Thanks for this tutorial as well as the other vids you have posted. Keep up the excellent work!

Great tutorial Keelan. Best one so I've come across on KZbin so far. Keep up the great work. I look forward to learning more tips and tricks from you 👍🏾

[@carmxxc]

Yes! I'm sculpting for the first time, and these tutorials are so good that I've been able to actually try my own style for each step because there is enough explanation to divert from the exact character he is making. 10/10 for sure.

[@slundqsale]

This tutorial series is hands down one of the best I've come across. Your videos are on paar with BlenderGuru and other big names. Thank you so much!

[@brenen7412]

I was simply letting blender tutorials play. When you started playing I found myself simply enjoying your voice after a while. Thanks for teaching me too ^_^

[@ryanborg3481]

I’ve using Blender for around a year (still a beginner) and I always wanted to try sculpting and I saw many tutorials and never could flow along. Your carisma and way to explain the process was amazing for me and I could follow along easily. Thank you so much and looking forward for part 3 😊. Keep up your amazing work.

[@KeelanJon]

Thank you Ryan, it's always very motivating to hear this kind of feedback 😁 I'll have part 3 with you very soon.

[@alexanderlinderson2655]

This felt like a blend between nice style and digestable/doable from a beginner's perspective. Started on my own tonight following the tutorial. Really nice! Took you like half an hour to get here, took me a couple of hours lol, but I'm super happy with how it's going so far!

Thanks, Keelan! This tutorial is fantastic. I especially appreciate how you break down each step and explain the thinking behind it. The tips are super helpful too!

[@LaiKA-xp4ub]

Thanks Keelan!Great tutorial, I hope there will be tutorials for modeling the body and limbs in the future, I've learned a lot from your tutorials!

[@KeelanJon]

Hey thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you've been learning a lot! We'll be modeling full characters too some time soon :)

i dont have much too say but a big thanks too you sir full respect for this tutorial it really help me alot

[@minementalx]

Very good and lightweight tutorial! Its not overwhelming because you stick to 3-4 sculpting tools in your videos. That's a good base to explore the other tools. I sculpted my first head in the last two days and its even looking presentable all angles! :D Had to delete several attempts though! For me this is the donut of sculpting tutorials! ;)

I get a weird shame when I target the head inside the shrinkwrap modifier for the eyebrow. I make a plane somewhat rectangle on the correct position just like you do, but when I target the head, is gives a weird small Triangle shape on it. Any idea why? And how to fix that?

A bit shocked that you are doing all this with a mouse, seen plenty of "tutorial videos" using tablets. Got to say your two videos, that you've put out so far, have the thing I've been looking for in learning to sculpt in blender. Thanks again for putting these up.

Very new to Blender. How are you stretching the objects when pressing "S". Thanks again for this tutorial! You're incredible.

[@slundqsale]

You press S and then either x,y, or z to stretch along an axis.

How do you quickly change the view? I dont understand the shortcut

[@KeelanJon]

That'll be the tilde key, on my keyboard it's the key just below ESC. It loads up a views menu that you can quickly flick your cursor to switch views :D

[@BlackftHeart]

@@KeelanJon thank you so so much!

[@karlmoore1837]

I'm following along, but for my purposes my model has a few more subdivisions on it. I was wondering how do you get/maintain perfectly smooth surfaces (especially on organic shapes)? Although my model has more subdivisions for detail, I still want it to have a animated/cartoon look about it.

[@KeelanJon]

Hi Karl, thanks for the comment. To help keep a smooth surface I'd mainly recommend keeping your poly count as low as possible to start, and the only adding in larger amounts when you're done with the main base of your model. That way it's a little easier to maintain as you go along. If you're looking to animate afterwards, you'll need to retopologise your sculpt so that it's better optimised. Hope that helps 😁🙌

[@karlmoore1837]

@@KeelanJon Thanks. So, something like the multires modifier should help manage that? I have tried to keep things simple. I've noticed as I've gone along with more complex poses and detailed sculpts that some parts/areas of the surface have got a bit bumpy.

[@khanb6421]

Question for anyone who is watching: In the brows segment can't I just use the first shrinkwrap modifier without applying it or is it some type of artistic trick for better result?

[@KeelanJon]

You don't have to, I just find it works better for placement 😁 But every model is different so see what works best for you

[@khanb6421]

Wow you are fast, thanks for all the knowledge. Learned a lot from you. 💙

[@teabagNBG]

would u prefere modeling or scupting for this style of character? im not sure but can it be u only used modeling in ur older videos?

[@KeelanJon]

In my personal work I generally use modeling, but sculpting is still useful in many ways for details which can be baked into lower poly models 😁

[@teabagNBG]

@@KeelanJon thx for the answer i just did these three tutorials today + i added some shoulders... im now looking forward to change a few thing up... first i want to add add cloth to the shoulders...then i want to replace ur hairstyle with actualy felt hair... also maybe add some nice glasses with some cool reflection :D

[@zekenebel]

I come from a game development background and have started learning modelling / sculpting. Could you perhaps point me in the direction of where to go from this point. Maybe im reading it wrong but 876 thousand tris for a very simple head that lacks any minor detail has me extremely worried as to just how "good" I need to get before I can even import something like this into unity. How exactly would you get something like this down to say 200,000 tris to be lenient without compromising anything in the overall design of the model. Just to be clear idk if that many tris is normal for something that is staying local to blender. I personally am learning to sculpt for game assets. An example would be most overwatch characters averaging around 60k tris and that's for an entire character not just the head .

[@KeelanJon]

Hi thanks for the question 😁 Having upwards of a couple million tris on a sculpt is normal, and the amount of detail you require will reflect on your tri count. In the case of this simple model you likely don't need to go this high, but it's down to the Artist and their preference. From a game design stand point you would not sculpt a model with 60k faces, you would sculpt a very high tri model and then retopologise to simplify the geometry and then the higher poly model details can be "baked" into a normal map for lower poly version. That's generally how games work to avoid high poly count models, the details are faked with a normal map.

[@zekenebel]

@@KeelanJon okay I understand , so when sculpting it’s kinda just do what u need until u get the result you want them re topology best you can until you get a good blend of quality and performance

[@KeelanJon]

@@zekenebel Yes exactly 😁 If it's a model for a game, you would need to go through those optimising steps of retopologising etc. But I'd also note that in my case I generally 3D print my models/figures and this does not require the model to be optimised. So depending on your use case, retopology is not always required.

[@erwintan9848]

why do you convert the hairs into mesh? i dont understand sir.. btw, this is cool tutorial!!

[@KeelanJon]

In this case it's just because I'm teaching the sculpting tools, it's up to you how you model 😁
