Old Man Sculpt WIP
Hi everyone! I am doing an anatomy study. I started with this idea that I had while falling asleep one night “his face was so skinny, it almost looked like a skull.” It’s still so far from my original idea, but I am not super skilled in sculpting, so I am practicing still. I am lying in anatomy books all the time, trying to get stuff right. I started this sculpt from a classic sphere and pulled and pushed to make this sculpt.
Here are some WIPs in timely order:
I was using sir Ian McKellen as a reference for the basis, as I find it easier to just get a lot of pictures of someone who exists and the alter. The last picture is when I realised that I got some proportions wrong and had to pull them around with the Move brush.
I still have him set up as a reference in case I need guidance.
At some point I had this idea. Well, basically the mouth looked weird. So I thought: “well, he doesn’t need a mouth.” I know, cheating. But I will get back to it, I just had to finish my idea before I loose it.
The side and back view still needs a lot of work...
I really liked this stage, so I had a bit of fun with it, as you do....
Will keep you posted on more updates! I am also learning Houdini at the moment, so hopefully will have something cool from that soon too! And finish this guy hopefully too!
Thanks for reading!
