Dude I instantly became a fan of your techniques! I usually can't grasp much from timelapse videos but this one is something else. I know everyone has already said this but....I LOVE HOW YOU MADE THE EARS! :D I am working on my 2nd character and having a hard time with the eyes and making the face have more personality, your video not only helped me understand some techniques but also helped motivate me to push myself a little more. I also really like how you did the nose, gives more freedom to make iterations. I usually just sculpt it on the face and then it becomes so difficult to manipulate it if I don't like how it looks. Seriously, I am very grateful to you for this. Will watch your tutorial on the ears now. Many thanks!

[@FynnGB]

Thank you very much for the nice comment! I really appreciate it and I'm glad that the videos are helpful! If you have questions please feel free to ask anytime! All the best with your work and keep practicing!

I adopted a lot of your techniques for building a female face for the lead female character sculpt for our latest video game. It makes a lot of sense to build out a little bit of the skeletal structure(even a simplified one) before fleshing it out. Makes the face feel more organized and proportionately soild.

Awesome! Is the result uploaded somewhere to see? Glad its been useful!

It's a bit indirect but watching this video seriously helped me apply some shading techniques to my 2D art, believe it or not. I'll definitely refer to this video as well when I have a crack at some good ol' character modelling :D

So glad to hear that! I notice it all the time that my practice in 3D translates into my 2D work as well, it's so cool. Thanks a lot and all the best with your work!

[@reboa.i563]

Woah... I accidentally stumbled upon this channel and I LOVE your work! I'm new to sculpting and my sculptures look so bumpy :( Idk I'm trying to learn the human anatomy and try to understand all the basics, but it's sooo overwhelming hehe. I think I'll have to adjust my tablet's sensitivity, because I've been using it for drawing since I bought it. Anyways, I loved this elf sculpture and you definitely earned a sub + like from me ;)

[@FynnGB]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! A tip when it comes to bumpy surfaces: try to work with the lowest amount of polygons in the beginning that still hold up the forms so you can smooth things out easily while working on the big shapes. Once these are established and you want to get into more details increase the number of polys and work your way up from there. Another tip is to use the largest brush size possible to sculpt which makes you faster as well as avoids an uneven surface as well. All the best!

[@reboa.i563]

[@FynnGB]

Glad you like it! I like to start of my projects with the 'DynaWax128' project that you can find in the lightbox. It comes with a decent variation of the SkinShade4 matcap where I would then dial down the WaxModifier to around 20 or 30

[@-Rook-]

Very interesting video, while I think its most important to *properly* understand the geometry of the objects your trying to create, its also hugely helpful to see the techniques that people use to create these sculpted forms.

[@FynnGB]

I agree! once you understand the forms properly you can take shortcuts and skip some steps to get the forms you want but then it gets hard for viewers to follow why someone does a certain stroke or build certain shapes the way they do It's a good idea to break down forms to the most comprehensible shape of your current skill level and build from there. I still like to draw boxes all the time from which I construct more complex forms

[@-Rook-]

@@FynnGB yes that is a very good point.

Great Work! I learn A lot! Thanks! Have a quick question, how did you do the eyebrows? I mean the texture on the final redering piece.

[@FynnGB]

Glad you like it! I sculpted the details mostly with the dam standard brush trying to get the direction of the 'hairs' working

[@Myorkaen]

Wow 😍

[@aaa-mt3tz]

I'm curious about why you make the nose separately... For things like the eyes/lids and ears it's definitely easier to make by adding on new subtools, but the nose seems like an easy thing that you can just pull out of the face - no?

[@aaa-mt3tz]

P.S. the way you did the eyes and ears is also really interesting; never seen those exact methods before!

[@FynnGB]

I like to do that to be contious about the plane changes in that area. It helps me to clearly separate the shapes of the nose from the volume of the mouth below and the cheeks around it. And to establish the shapes of the nostrils I find it easier to be able to sculpt it disconnected from the geometry around it. I have a tutorial for the ears as well if you're interested in that and I will probably do one about eyes at some time as well

[@thomasanderson1416]

How you made the eyes? I could definitely learn something here.

[@andershoffman7196]

Looks like he set the spheres into the eye sockets, hid the tool and then sculpted out the forms until they just barely covered up the eyeballs. Then he sculpts the outline of the eyelids, and cuts away at the eye portion until the eyeball subtool shows again. Very clever

What tips or advice do you have for people that use mousepad to sculpt? Using digital pen is nice, but i'm a newbie in sculpt and im looking forward 'cause i can't afford one right now.

[@FynnGB]

Honestly I would recommend to buy a graphics tablet. Pressure sensitivity is essential for sculpting and the ability to make decent strokes is really important. I have a product from huion which is a more affordable alternative to the wacom tablets and they have small graphic tablets for just 25 dollars. I started out with a wacom bamboo that I used for 7 years and it had cost me 100 euro. That was the best investement that I could make and I think the huion tablets compare quite well to that All the best

when it comes to proportions I really recommend to practice drawing the head with the loomis method. It teaches about proportions on a fundamental level and there are good tutorials out there (Proko for example has a really good one)

[@kellyn882]

Do you use a tablet for digital sculpting? Or is everything done with a mouse?

I'm using a tablet for it since it's essential that you have the pressure sensitivity and the ability to make decent strokes

Artstation has their own new platform to compete with Gumroad and Cubebrush. I think you need to find out what's your price point per new content. Should it be member exclusive or per content?
