Grooming part01

General / 17 June 2019

Spend most of the weekend following the steps I've learned in Kris Costa's amazing class. This is my first collision with #xgen and #arnold so bear with me. Looks bad atm, but better than what I had( like no moustache at all). Hopefully it will get there where I want it to be. I'm also rendering with a prehistoric computer, so not really able to utilize the arnold preview render. Anyway. Progress is progress, no matter how slow it is. If you're interested in seeing this progressing, follow my IG account for more regular updates etc.

Detailing - neck area

General / 08 June 2019

Moved on the neck area today. Always found that challenging especially when it comes down to fine wrinkles and volumes. The rhythm of all those criss cross ones is an amazing one, but very tricky to interpret without overdoing it. Seen so many amazing models, but then in certain areas like the neck, hands, feet it all collapses. Lots more to do, but I'm happy with the direction this is going. You can easily cover everything with wrinkles, but the rhythm here is everything. The subtle forms that are layered on top of the main volumes and hopefully the anatomy you have underneath.
