@@user-sj9oz8mq8s Strang meaning? 😂 Just working on an anatomy course, will definitely make horror character after that :D Edit: I love spooky/dark themes
Just a quick note. The upper lip doesn’t always need to be more protruding than the bottom lip. It depends of what facial features you want to make or the ethnicity of the character you’re doing
True ! No proportions or anatomy is set in stone, there will always be special cases and anomalies. Lower lip exceeding the upper lip is usually due to bad Jaw structure rather than change in ethnicity. Amongst same ethnicities, on average, the lower lip will be behind the upper lip or in the same line. :))
I’ve been following your skull sculpting video for the last 6 days just redoing skulls over and over and so definitely will be buying your course So great to see you opened up a patreon as well
Thanks man appreciate it :)) You can share your progress with me in my discord server, I would love to see how you're doing. There's a link in the description for it :D
Hey, love your channel man been binge watching it the past couple hours. I wanna ask tho why do you use blender over zbrush? And should I do the same even though I have zbrush? For more context I'm going to be trying out sculpting for the first time and have no experience in zbrush.
Hey thanks man ! Glad to hear you find the videos useful ! I didn't choose blender 'over' z brush. I've just been more familiar with blender and its an all in one package. I was using it for other purposes too, but currently am only focusing on sculpting. Since you're only starting out, you can choose either software. Its just easier to find tutorials and resources for blender since its a bigger community. I've bought courses that were made in z brush but I followed in blender, at the end of the day both of them are just tools
I agree wholeheartedly with what this video says. As a beginner, you find yourself (unconsciously?) depending on courses to create something. It's easy to get an "ok" result when following a course, (and I'm in this illusion myself). And it's true that I loved your course on heads for this reason @IshaqSculpt, because it's not just "Oh well do this, and there you go." No, your course is clearly about mastering steps, about being able to reproduce a result without being dependent on the course, you're in a psychological accompaniment that consists of understanding the steps and why they're important, and that repeating a generic form helps to understand more complex forms about the future. and I really want to congratulate you for that. I would add something to what you say in the video when you talk about concept, and I agree with what you say. But what I find a pity in courses in general, or even tutorials, is that beginners are told that they need to use references, but they're not shown HOW to work with a reference, and they're not shown point by point which elements really need to be taken from the reference, because the instructor will explain it with his seasoned eyes, but the beginner who has no experience will not grasp the importance of some of what is said. I'd say that there's an advantage to taking courses, and one that beginners (myself included) don't pay much attention to, but it's to develop your sense of observation, to observe how the instructor works, what he's trying to reproduce in the reference he's using, to try to really observe and reproduce, to redo the process, which even if it seems tedious, is indispensable. In short, it's not enough to copy, you have to understand. I recently found myself realizing that I wasn't able to do anything well without following the steps of a course, and as Ishaq says in this video, the problem isn't ONLY with the course, but with ourselves and our psychological approach to it. Excellent video in any case, and sorry for the huge text :P, but it's a more than important subject you're tackling, and it deserves more than a simple "Oh yes, you're right" comment. It would be nice to see other people sharing their mistakes or talking about what's blocking them in the comments.
@@Shizuma450 Thank you Shizuma ! I appreciate the detailed feedback ! It definitely works both sides and seeing your work I know you've eliminated your side of the blame haha + The point you mentioned about reference is pretty valid. A beginner definitely misses to see what a seasoned eye of an experienced artist detects. (I'll steal it for a future video hehe 🤪) Stay blessed ! Edit: Yes people should definitely talk about it. Its amazing how so many people relate to this but only inside their heads :(
Dude so few people talk about this, its always "how to be a badass" "I gotta learn everything by tomorrow" - the idea of taking time for consistent, intentional repetition and understanding is the right way to go, imo
@@misfit_xyz yes absolutely ! To animated this you'll have to retopo. This was just a sculpting practice and I do not plan to go further with this model. So it is fine haha
I only tried Nomad on my tablet for a while, it feels very slow compared to blender. Didn't use those features extensively. I'm sure blender would have something similar to their tools
An honest video, showing your strengths, but also your weaknesses. I'm glad to see you haven't given up, Now we can clearly see your progress, and I'm very impressed. You've really got the right spirit, all the best to you Ishaq!
I’ve been wanting to try out sculpting for a while now but been a bit overwhelmed with everything that seems to go into it. But this really helped ease my mind on the subject and I’ve decided I am going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing your learning experiences. I’d bet I’m not the only one you’ve helped
@@psycho7404 It is definitely most difficult for a beginner because the overwhelming amount of information out there. This is exactly why I made the course to help younger versions of me who want to step into sculpting and focus on the essentials that will get results. Focusing on improving rather than reaching a certain level definitely helps as you start to enjoy growth and appreciate yourself for taking steps towards your goals everyday. Im glad you found the video useful, good luck man ! I'm rooting for you :D
Yes. There's no point in just picking up information slowly by repetitive practice when you can LEARN through intentional practice and observation and using instructional material like courses
Not the entire course, You just do not proceed to the next video till you nailed the previous video. Focus on your weak areas, and plug the holes you see in your art :))
