Head, Hair, and Hands
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2020 1:56 am
Hey Guys,
This stern looking gentleman is supposed to be some kind of warlock figure. I'll have to finish the rest later. I created a brief tutorial for myself on how I got there, saved as a series of images in a zip file. The filename for each image explains the steps that I took. I have always been of average artistic talent and so heads and hands have always been troublesome for me. Hair modeling was something new for myself as well. So that is why I decided to practice these shapes in order to refine my process. I figure if I could complete these shapes believably than other shapes would be no problem.
My long-term goal is making a video game. 2d Platformer with nice visuals in a Capcom style of the mid 90s. I really think curvy is well suited for this. A really cool anime, comic style is achievable in a simple way. So I feel really fortunate that Curvy has developed so nicely as it has always been my preferred working environment for modeling and now sculpting.

I made the hair using lofts for the shape and then mesh brush strokes. Mesh brush strokes is a 5.01 beta feature that you can access by becoming a patreon memeber.
The hands I made using lathes for the fingers, and some of the muscles. The palm was a slab. The finger nails are the rounded sculpt tool, repeated a few times. The palm was a slab.
After i got the larger shapes. Palm, fingers, thumb, worked out as primitives. I voxel merged them at a very high poly property. That helps keep the nice curves. Then I go to the mesh panel and reduce the newly merged mesh, I do this so I can manipulate it easier. Adding finer detail. I always try to go from larger shapes to finer details in all of my sculpts.
