If you want to know more about this technique, you can watch this tutorial here: After that, I duplicated the hair strand around the head and worked on each individual strand to make the hair flow nicely.

Then I added a bezier curve to create a hair strand, and, on the Bevel settings, I chose the circle that I had just created. This dictated the shape that the hair strand would follow. Hairįor the hair, I added a bezier circle from the Add Curves menu and shaped it. If you want to know more about how Subsurface Scattering works, here is a short and sweet video about it. I used the Principled BSDF almost exclusively, with a bit of subsurface scattering and I messed around with the materials until I got something that looked good to me. I ended up UV mapping the eyes and painting them in Photoshop because I needed a bit more control and finer detail. Instead, I went straight in and used the vertex paint brush inside Sculpt mode, currently in the latest experimental build of Blender 2.93 alpha (so try this at your own risk!). This means I didn't retopologize the model. Then it was time to paint the face.īecause of personal time constraints, I planned this to be a quick exercise. I did something similar for the eyelashes.

Although he uses ZBrush more than Blender for the sculpting part of his projects, he teaches how to construct believable anatomy alongside how to use the tools, and these teachings are extremely valuable regardless of the software you use. I watched a lot of Danny Mac’s tutorials for this.

Then, with the grab, smooth, and clay strips brushes, I roughed out the anatomy, focusing on getting the face planes right.

Once the base mesh was in place, I applied the Remesh tool with a voxel size of around 0.01 to merge all the objects together into a unified mesh. I started by building a base mesh out of simple objects joined together, then went into Sculpt mode and used the Grab brush to shape the modeled mesh.
