Gnomon Workshop Character Head Sculpture John Brown DVD #3

by John Brown. This lecture introduces the student to sculpting the full-scale head with an emphasis on detail. Beginning with a 1/3 scale concept maquette, this DVD teaches how to scale up off of a design and build a full scale sculpture from scratch. Sculpting of the facial features is emphasized, with a focus on secondary & tertiary form, including step-by-step techniques used to create wrinkles, skin texture, pores, veins - all the essential components of sculpting realism. The lecture also addresses the important considerations when sculpting for digitization. Every phase of sculpting the head is demonstrated including armature construction, initial block-in, facial features, ears, horns and surface details.
