Having troubles with facial angles in your drawing style?

Try a 3D sculpture of your art in your own style in a free program that is simple and very easy to use.

The program is called Sculptris and is a free off-shoot program from Zbrush, that program that you keep hearing about but either takes selling your kidneys or piracy to actually use. 

If you download it and sculpt out a facial model, you can have references for your own work for all of time. No more endlessly searching Google for reference materials or twisting/rotating/flipping a drawing to see if there are flaws. And you can easily edit it to create more facial types. This way, you can make character references for any and every face and facial angle that you can think of.

The program offers mirroring right from the start, so your faces will be perfectly symmetrical. You can turn off the symmetry for things like scars or otherwise. 

It takes a little time. For instance, I downloaded the program on Christmas and, in my spare time, this took a few days of getting familiar with the program (first day) and then sculpting for a few minutes each day, mostly due to my perfectionist nature. And this one isn’t even done. I still have to mold the mouth, ears, and other smaller aspects before I consider it done. However, I was so giddy over the possibilities that I wanted to share this with my fellow artists.

From now on, I have reference for a face in my own style and will be able to create things so much easier in the future. 

I hope that this helps you guys and that you have fun with it. 

I absolutely recommend Sculptris!

UH

GUYS????

This really useful oh my goodness. It takes a little figuring out, but once you get the hang of it it’s actually pretty easy. Just watch a couple youtube videos. Seeing how other people do it helps you to make sense of it.

OH BOY LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME IDIOT do you know how hard his stupid face is to figure out at different angles? DO YOU??? Now I have a 3D ref!!! AAAHH!! so excite much 3d wow very angles wow

This is the best office fanart I’ve seen. Usually office fanart doesn’t fit the tone of the show at all but I could actually see an animated version of the show like this.

Did a little collab with Nneka! She sent me this sketch, and then I coloured it! Was lots of fun! Can’t wait to see what she did with mine! :)

I’m occasionally asked about my process, so I made this for you.  This may not be what you had in mind. I had intended for this to be a raw-sketch to better sell the idea, but my sketches aren’t very interesting and half the time I can’t tell what’s going on in them, so I just kept going; I really should do a process-post some time…

So I’m gonna try a daily drawing project for a year that Becky told me about (and is also doing herself) which is to draw something about one of the holidays that happen to fall on ever single day of the year. The first one is easy.

He might not have a queen yet, but Ice King has lots of love at home. 

I liked the composition from my last Uncle Scrooge drawing enough to ape it for Simon and his lovable minions.
