Sculpt a theme: Day 3!

Femme Fatal

For day 3's theme I went with Femme Fatal, as I saw my work consist of mostly male characters and wanted to push towards females more, as to be able to capture the subtle hints in a woman's beauty Is a skill I would like to achieve in my future work. However wow this theme was a real struggle, to portray a strong, seductive woman by small but key features, like the softness of the face, but give a sense of character at the same time. The shape of the eyes, the cheek bones and the lustful lips. 

The models created today, I haven't really fully captured their beauty but I aim to get closer to that result.

Sculpt a theme: Day 2

Western

I have chosen Western for day two's theme, it was a lot of fun going through this theme, looking up the classic westerners like Wyatt Earp, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne and other side characters that features in the films. As most characters in the western films tend to have a unique look and outfit depending on their position, as we have the smart dressing sheriff in their black clean outfits, compared to the rough outlaw or the scruffy towns folk. Wanting to dive more into the culture, looking up the native Americans as their possible character design would be what I plan to do next.

Sculpt a theme a day challenge!!

Day 1

Facial Hair

I wanted to start a draw a day project/challenge, however gearing it towards sculpting a bit more. So I've started a sculpt a theme a day challenge where I produce as many characters busts as I can, using given theme to speed up my skills and my productivity also learn new tools along the way. Deciding on what to sculpt has been troublesome for me. So I created a list of generic subjects such as bug creatures, stylized detectives and freestyle and so on to help out, which has greatly improved the issue which I'm happy about. Also I used a fantastic bust base created by Leslie Van Den Broeck which can be found at the link provided at the bottom. So I began with the theme facial hair. I've wanted to improve in this area for a long time, so I took this opportunity and went with it. The models from left to right was the order in which these were created.

 the brushes used were:

Using Curve Strap Snap for the first time this was highly rewarding and I can't wait to try to use it to create hair in the future, the brush was mainly used on the last character though, to create the thin facial hair called the fu mancu.

A few close ups.
