I suck at sculpting heads, so I did it 100 times

[@tinynocky]

💭 FAQ + Additional Thoughts AT1 • Do I recommend this challenge? Yes & No. No - it can very easily become a game of clearing quotas just for the sake of it, rather than to practice effectively Yes - forces you to not spend too much time on a bust, prioritising what matters, improving your speed. AT2 • to further emphasise on practicing effectively, blindly sculpting 100 heads is simply a waste of time. I'd rather you sculpt 5 heads with the intent to learn something than to brute force your way to head no.100 just to farm karma points on reddit. AT3 • I feel the need to emphasise that learning Anatomy was NOT my only intent during this challenge. It was also shape design & expressions. each topic is very in-depth, I couldn't possibly cover everything here. but I hope this little video journal of mine could help you in your research before you begin your journey! Q1 • Did you sculpt with a Mouse or Tablet? A1 • tablet, specifically the Wacom CTL490 Q2 • How long have you been using Blender? A2 • I've been using Blender for about 3 years now, but I've had past experiences with Maya when I was a VFX student for 5 years (went to 2 diff schools) Q3 • Computer specs? A3 • Laptop with RTX 3070, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD Q4 • Song at 29:26? A4 • A cover of "Taeyeon - I" I produced specifically for this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5_ZoYZtmK6MoK8si=LbkfxLVtJvXLmhV7 Q5 • Did you only sculpt with 1 reference photo? A5 • nope. 7:29, 7:47, 9:27, 9:54, 10:04, etc. these are just a few of the many examples in the video where I showcased a glimpse of my PureRef file before "scrolling" into the reference photo, so that you know who I'm sculpting. if I see anymore FAQs I'll add it here, so feel free to ask!

[@Lucky-ce7pv]

Hi there! Amazing video.. Really inspired me to keep going. I’m just wondering if you are a full time artist or is it just your hobby? I really wanted to be full time 3d artist

[@HarkerFerry]

AT1: If you want a challenge like this, don't make it a rush. Set a goal of 1 head per day, and plan for the challenge to take 100 days or more. Do extra studies to focus on weak points, but those studies don't need to be full heads: if you're struggling with the eye area, isolate the eyes and study just that area, much like you did with the lips and mouth early on, without worrying about a full face. This will help you practice more effectively, because you aren't just seeing the 100 hurdles ahead of you, you have one hurdle per day, and a lot of stretches and drills you can work on between hurdles. AT2: As I said above, 100 heads can be a wonderful course of study, as long as you know what your goals are, and aren't just doing it for the numbers -- and are taking your time instead of seeing 100 as a magic number to be reached by any means. Effective practice requires reflection, feedback, and a fair amount of time between sessions. If you try to do 100 circles in a day, you can achieve it -- but if you want your circles to become more accurate and reliable, you'd be better off practicing 5 circles a day for 3 weeks, and reviewing the process and results. In 2D art, these sorts of repetitions are well limited to about 1 page per day. AT3: It's good to have a variety of goals in a big challenge like this. And when you feel like you keep hitting a wall, just step back and do something else before you keep trying the same thing. Don't give up on Monica and Jinx, you'll get them someday.

your very first head wasnt nearly as bad as you think. OBVIOUSLY its a good idea to improve as a sculptor but i can see you have a decent understanding of head basics. its not perfect but no sculpt is. but with that said, i love that you identified a weak point and addressed it. not enough do that.

[@maxouaddane232]

Here's some additional tips I've gained from working in inudstry: - do timed sculpts daily, and don't linger on projects. - Try starting head sculpts from two cylinders and an egg shape merged together (this is illustrated in anatomy for sculptors) - Make a custom UI if using Zbrush. - Get critique on your work from other people. They may spot things you might have missed. - Experiment with different brushes each time you sculpt - Adjust the lighting in your scene regularly and constantly rotate your model - Practice realistic forms before moving to stylised.

[@Whatever94-i4u]

I get the egg shape but why two cylinders? Why not just one (for the neck, I guess)?

[@maxouaddane232]

@@Whatever94-i4u one cylinder forms the face and brow line, the other forms the neck. it gives you a far more accurate starting point that just morphing around a sphere. as mentioned, this is displayed in a diagram in the Anatomy for Sculptors main book.

Something I noticed with both attempts at Phoebe and Monica @10:05 is that while they were both smiling, they lacked the natural squint that comes with smiling that widely which ends up making the smile look fake, and ultimately throws off the intended result. Something to think about!

I would have never guessed you would consider yourself bad at anatomy cuz your work is amazing!

[@tylerbeaumont]

Anatomy is the one thing which is easiest to hate. Any tiny flaw will jump out at you, even more so than any other subject, which I think leads a lot of perfectly adequate anatomical artists to entirely neglect the entire topic. Professional character artists are some of the most self-motivated and creatively confident people I’ve ever met. For us who don’t have their huge balls, it’s much more comfortable to just say you suck at characters and stick to hard surface or foliage where small mistakes won’t be so obvious to the human eye

[@NightVisionOfficial]

Yes, also... For those that are like me, who cannot physically sculpt, even more x). When i try to draw, or sculpt something even close to a human shape, it becomes a MONSTER ! xD

Day 1 was better than anything I can do! I did 3D Graphics and Animation at university in 2001 - MUCH harder back then with slow render times and limited tools. Maya and 3DS MAX. I gave up because I just couldn't improve at art no matter what I did. 20 years later I discovery I have Aphantasia and my entire art career (lack of it) suddenly made sense. I literally cannot visualise anything. Improving in art for me was like climbing Everest in the dark. Luckily while at University I met a guy that showed me you can make music on computer - and I never looked back! Changed career path. 20 years in production and mastering. All those years of playing piano and guitar suddenly became useful and not a complete waste of time. Luckily my inner ear work, when my minds eye doesn't! -- Edit - WOW... man, your use and knowledge of anatomy and musculature is mindblowing! Way to go!

[@Jessefizzy]

This inspires me. I always feel defeated when I am not good at something right away or see improvement fast enough, but this video really shows how much putting in the effort to learn and practice makes.

[@vinnieyang5422]

Some unsolicited advice: - spend more time using the grab brush to get the foundational proportions/silhouette right before adding details (eyes, lips, creases) - use additional smaller views/panes to always have an eye on the front, side, top and 3/4 views

[@nickshulba5062]

Big respect for your dedication. Its huge. I figured out that massive masculine chin migrated between male and female characters for a long. Sometime long exposure to a single reference may be non-productive. Also mirrored sculpting has a potential problem that face is perfectly symmetrical, which is not the case in the real life, that's why you couldn't catch girl's face with some asymmetry.

[@karnnap6178]

You are insane for this, a lot of people fear making mistakes but you face it head on! I’m inspired !

you may want to smooth out the smile lines when sculpting neutral expressions; they tend to make a character look much older

Your progress from start to finish is phenomenal! Especially the anatomy of the eyes and nose. Talk about perseverance! Im so inspired to get back into sculpting! My only critique that kept popping up in the sculpts is the eye socket on an average adult head. Its vertically the half way point between bottom of the chin and top of the skull. The hair and hairline can really throw us off sometimes but always try to keep that as a baseline. I want to add that your presentation and video skill are top notch! Definite subscribe from me!

This is exactly how I learnt how to sculpt, because I was so insistent on not watching tutorials. I wouldn't do it again, I did 60 different attempts to make the same head before it looked really good, and it causes such a severe burnout that I never touched Blender for a good year after I retopoed the model. Though now I can easily sculpt anything!

10:11 "You have beautiful skin. I must have it." I think your problem with the Monicas was that theyre all smiling and its the smile that is off. Smiling engages a lot of small muscles around the eyes which causes wrinkling and squinting and the lower lid pushing up. Great progress! Nice job. Crazy amount of work. I should do that too.

Starting with the skull is really good. I have issues too with faces (and for the record, I think you were already amazing at the start of the video), but studying the skull really helps you understand how the flesh lays on top. It helped me to translate it to my cartoony style when drawing.

[@gojospeepee9957]

I don't know why I'm here. This is the first sculpting video I watched (not even my interest). But I watched the whole video with complete focus and I can really see the growth with each day.

You say something really important and interesting. Something that I struggle with constantly.

exactly! the worst part about being in that loop is not being able to put together cohesive questions to even seek for the right answers. Me deciding to practice with the Suyeong Kim Male Bust may have caused me to develop certain bad habits, but I'd rather have to break out from a handful of bad habits than to be in that exhausting crippling state. now, at least I know what I don't know!

Wow! What a production! And similarly, as someone else wrote below: "I have no idea why this video popped up on my feed but I ended up watching all the way through without skipping any parts [even though I was exhausted and just want to get back to what I was doing before." Another person below mentioned how the production quality is insane . . . ditto. I'm too tired to say much original. Enjoyed the humor. It was like seeing one of those movies that stands out from what you usually experience. I'm just beginning to learn Blender so I'm thinking I wouldn't be able to do your video in a hundred years. I generally don't like high pace speed in media, but the super high pace speed here was kind of deliciously trippy. The fast transposition of your speech into text, the sound effects, the this and the that . . . wow! Unique and quirky. I went to art school and this kind of reminded me a bit of being back in art school with the creativity factor. Didn't know that digital sculpting was such an extensive realm. I liked the way you honestly and goofily described your thought processes and reactions. And so fast! Are you sure you're not working in another sped up dimension?

[@randoUsername553]

@11:51 in order to avoid the smooth brush changing the volume of forms: in the smooth brush settings, select "surface" for the deformation type. Set this way, even at max strength, you will notice that the smooth brush preserves your forms. The default setting "laplacian" can be understood as a transformation.

[@laketoriver]

I find it amazing how when you started using references and researching about the anatomy of the head you improved Immensely. Use your references, people!

[@nfdgoisn]

Nice, this was really cool to watch. I have some unsolicited feedback I hope you will find constructive: a quick way to improve your female faces is to soften certain features (especially the jawline and cheek folds) and to accentuate others. Jawlines are often more pointed, narrow, "heart-shaped", softened, or angular for female character design (and even more-so in stylized representation). I noticed a lot of your ladies had strong, square chins that can read more masculine. Also, the cheek folds, while realistic, can quickly age a character, so they can easily be softened significantly to make a character appear more youthful. Compare some of your references, you can see a softened or more pointed chin/jawline (such as your earlier jinx sculpt) and softer cheeklines, so maybe seek those for reference. Also a quick and easy way to lean more feminine, esp in stylized representations, is to accentuate features such as lips, eyelashes, cheekbones, etc. A lot of this I picked up from comic/cartoon illustration, but is also applicable to sculpting, again, especially more so when you are making something stylized. Anyway, hope this helps. Again, it was really cool to see your progress and learning methodology. It definitely is inspiring me to sculpt more faces/portraits

[@vladopossum3D]

I did the same challenge. From April to December sculpted 100 heads collecting large library of references, studying anatomy and getting used to sculpting, the result was satisfied.

[@josephvanwyk2088]

Yeah - that's how you do it. I'm starting to force myself to build/sculpt creatures and will eventually get to human anatomy. But that's how you master something. If you are familiar with real life sculpting, it works on the same principal. You carve and you carve and you carve until you perfect your craft.

[@artl4b]

Some other important tips: - It's more important to focus on the "big forms" rather than adding details. Worrying with the detais is the last step. - To do a good likeness, you're always gonna have to turn symetry off. Remember: No human being has a symetrycal face, so you're not gonna hit a perfect likeness sculpting a "symetrycally". Congrats on the video.

[@art-eroflore]

the before and afters are great to show how much you've improved in a short time! for anyone whos interested in sculpting and wants some unique references, this reminded me of the work of Malvina Hoffman, a sculptor who worked in the 1930s to capture peoples likenesses from all over the world. she cast everything in bronze so the reference photos are a little shiny but i think that helps to see where the sharper angles are

[@johnsch8634]

Thank you so much for this video journal of your progress.

The Maplestory music!! Also Silco turned out so good! Don't be too hard on yourself!

[@Maj_hul]

I like how stylized your work is, as sculpts alone they are definitely appealing, even if the likeness of your references isn't there always. The thing I noticed in your time lapses is that you seem to lock down your gesture and proportions almost from the get go, which makes the sculpt super tight from a very early stage. Trying to build from a super tight foundation can be okay for generalized anatomy, but it is not ideal as a consistent method as it will negatively affect your likeness by stunting your proportional/gestural relationships before the likeness even begins to form. I think if you worked on staying as loose as possible, for as long as possible and really working on balancing/massaging your proportions and the gesture of the face into place before locking down on anatomical details, it will make a good difference. The earliest stages are very crucial as you are balancing the entire final piece on those early decisions, and it can be easy to gloss through them in favor of the more stimulating detail work.

What you consider bad, other consider great. People who are good at something often feel they are bad at it, but I guess it’s connected. What makes you good at something is because you want to do better or always feel you can do better and is never satisfied with the quality. Other people don’t feel that way and therefor never progresses into becoming good at it. Your works is awesome, even the early work.

Just wanted to say I found this video really inspiring, I've been thinking of doing something similar as I want to improve on my head and face sculpted and it's given me a great starting point for moving forward with this.

Wow, you are so committed! I'm inspired by your ability to stick with it. It's easy to give up when things aren't working out, and just assume it's not meant to be. Not true though - If you really want it, sticking with it is the key to success! I'm going to keep that well in mind on my learning path. Thanks for sharing!!!

You have demonstrated two of the most important aspects of art: Motivation and Determination. You also have shown an even more important aspect, which is the courage and generosity to share. Thank you. I am curious as to what would happen if you brought in 3D scans of actual heads and began touching them up and converting them to seamless sculpture. Do you think this would provide a new perspective on modeling anatomy?
