    All this is to say im extremely thankful that i stuck with it for this long and im thankful for the mentorship i have gotten along the way (shoutout to Grant Abbitt , cgcookie and max hay)


    Can't wait to see where i will be in 5years. Although i will enjoy the journey as much as the destination :)

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated

    Ear looks great. Nose looks good as well. I don't know much about anatomy, but maybe it feels like the indent is very deep:

  • Ewan Thorpe(ewanThorpe) replied

    yeah i agree omar :) will try another tomorrow and today look at some anatomy videos :)

  • Martin Bergwerf replied

    Hey Ewan,

    You have a CGCookie Subscritpion. Why don't you have a look at HUMAN?

    I had practically no Sculpting experience and got this result:

    Definitely far from perfect, but for a first model...

    Anyway, you can get started without downloading all the 9GB Course Files.

  • Ewan Thorpe(ewanThorpe) replied

    thanks for this spikey i was too afraid to start human cause i have no experience with anatomy or characters but your words convince me to give it a go

  • Martin Bergwerf replied

    That's where you'll learn anatomy (and much more); no prior knowledge required.
