Week 1 : Anatomy - Proportions / skull

Angus Luscombe Webinar Class 09/10/2020 – 09:00

Week one of the Digital Sculpture module

explored the methods for the right facial proportions, applying the abstraction methods of Andrew Loomis.

An investigation and exercises in how to understand the differences between the female and the male skull structures.

Pointing to one of the many interesting discussions of this “Week one” of Digital sculpture, was to understand that the human skull knowledge of the bones positions, sizes and types (women/Men) and specially the right position of the “Zygomatic Arch” in modelling, certainly help to support the pin point of the facial features, resulting in a bigger possibility for a better final work results.

Experiment Aquatic Humanoid

Important note

These Three shots taken from the book L'anatomie pour Les sculpteurs: Et Les character designers, illustrateurs et animateurs 3D, was the starting point to build up the physical intention (movement) of the

Aquatic Humanoid above. The hands , the back and the arms was used as an inspiration to the final Physical and movement choices.

Week 2 : Features: Nose

Nose first try

Nose second try

The second nose was an experiment for my self, I used a pen display for the first time, I have to say that was an extra work to understand the commands and the pen touch sensitivity.

The final result I understand that is not what I was looking for but I did post in here anyways. I will post an other one soon!

Week 3 - Features: Mouth

Angus Luscombe Webinar Class 23/10/2020 – 09:00

The top mouths were sculptured with no techniques applied, to experiment how the final module comes out to compare with the original photo. From the same base, I made different versions, change diameters of the top and the lines of the Vermilion.

For the African looking girl I applied Angus's steps.

Conclusion: It took me a few hours to finalise the first versions, but I can see good moments in the video history timeline, of the sculptured module. It took me 30 minutes to finalised the last one.

Considering that, I tried other different methods from the internet, but It got me stuck in the module no knowing how to do it.
