In this tutorial, I will be teaching how to create stylized 3D characters based on photographs.
You will learn a technique for analyzing and breaking down a head into basic shapes. After learning how to break down and simply form we will look at creating it within ZBrush. Finally, we will look at how the same techniques can be used to break down more complex forms and take a sculpt further.
If you would like to get really good at sculpting stylized characters based on photo reference, you will need to practice. This is why I am also including an assignment with this tutorial. Follow this assignment and I guarantee you will see improvement.
