Inked's first attempts at sculpting.

[inked]

Thought I would throw up a couple of pics of my first attempts at sculpting.

The only other sculpting I have done was nearly 20 years ago at school and never a human head so please be kind.

All constructive criticism will be appreciated.

Unfortunately, I have realised that both sculpts are too large for 1/6th but I will continue with them for the practice before starting any others.

My very first attempt

Alfred

Rick

Both are still WIP

Think they look good for a first attempt. Keep up the good work man.

You can see the resemblance which is the key thing

Wow, that is really good for your first attempt. I wish I could sculpt but I'm useless at all that sort of thing.

 

[Rdeezy]

I knew who they were right away the basic likenesses...you nailed

I 100% agree with this. You clearly have the ability to capture the spirit of who you are sculpting so now just practice, practice, practice to refine those skills.

One trick to getting the proportions closer is print out the reference photo to the correct size and use dividers to measure from the photo and then transfer to the sculpt.

Wow, thanks for all the positive responses and tips. Will keep at it, really enjoying it so far

Great idea Robbie! I will be trying this!

Off to a good start Inked, you can definitely see the likeness in them. That sounds like a great tip from Robbie!

Great job mate !.
There is a lot of us here currently learning to sculpt , I also could tell who the characters were meant to be instantly and as mentioned that's the most important thing, job well done. Keep at it.

 

[inked]

Cheers, I'll definitely be using Robbie's tip!

 

[hydrobud]

nice start ! the odd thing is , I see the Governor in the Rick sculpt . just keep practicing for countless hours and you will eventually get there .

 

[inked]

Thinned out the bridge of the nose and moved the brow inwards, opened up his eyes a bit.

 

[inked]

Very minor tweaks

 

[SculptorJoel]

Looking much better!

 

[abarbarian]

Great start keep it up buddy

 

[inked]

Cheers guys!

you have a talent for capturing likeness.

Checking your work in a mirror while you shape out the structure of the face will help with symmetry.
