Amazing stuff as always, have you considered making Blender tutorials? I know that the fundamentals, anatomy are software agnostic, but I would like to see how would you adapt the workflow with blender brushes and voxel remesher, dyntopo or multires.

[@SpeedChar]

In my newest course that i now finish i use Blender, but more for the UVs rigging and render. For sculpting i have to customize it, othewise it will be pretty slow and boring :)

[@JennyR-xn6cg]

Thank you for your video! You're a best teacher! May I ask a question? You made a very sharp form. It's very cool and pretty, but make your character a little stylized. Is it necessary to smooth all model for more realistic face? Or I am wrong?

[@SpeedChar]

Stylized forms are better to begin with, then you can always smooth them and add more details if you want more realistic characters.

[@damian8051]

Hi Niko, is it normal for the model to look weird if you turn of perspective view? I'm following your male character in Zbrush course and enjoying it very much. If I turn off perspective mode it looks disproportionate, though it seems the standard is to model in perspective mode, so I'm not sure if this is an issue or should be expected. Thanks

[@SpeedChar]

You should use small perspective when modelling. Don't model without perspective, but also dont use too much. Just 85 is mostly enough for modelling. So the weakest one. Then after the model is ready, for render you can use some stronger perspective

[@damian8051]

​@@SpeedChar Okay awesome, thanks Niko

[@SpeedChar]

Basically you need more practice on face features, real ones, and then you will be able to do it. Also practicing from working from concept is a key to character art :). I can say mastering working from concept took me at least 5 years.

That's absolutely insane, how you can immediately identify and fix the issues on the human head. I've done around 14 human heads so far , and they look like/even worse than the starting head you were given...

Many years of practicing, observation, understanding of forms :). It can't come in a day or a month.

@@SpeedChar Right. That makes sense. When you showed those heads. I was thinking those were the 20 heads you made since you started sculpting
