Dude... It is actually extremely rare to find a modeling tutorial in realtime.. Most modeling tutorials speed up x3 during the modeling process itself, making it really hard to learn.. You video here is absolutely phenomenal! Subscribed!!
Thank you so much! I do speed up where it gets redundant and no longer contributes to learning anything new, so you will see it here and there, but realtime learning was what I was going for. Good luck!
If you press g twice you move along the line. If your vertex is on a line, press g twice, move the vertex, then press "alt" This allows you to move the vertex along the same line, past the original line. helpful as well. Subscribed to Patreon. well worth it. Thank you very much for these tutorials!
Just finished this, spend a week, around 1 hour per day getting this done, very glad to have the first character of my own with some style modifications! Can't wait to continue to the next part
Respect because you show us the correct and direct method of creating a character that we can animate. Others would have sculpted the model and then struggled with retopology. But you did it first .
I didn't think I'd get such an in-depth, beginner-friendly tutorial here on youtube for what I was looking for. If it weren't for your content, I would have given up before even trying. Thanks!
Had this video in my watch later list for about a month now😪... My biggest regret is not watching it as soon as i saw it😭😭😭... This is one of the few million dollar videos on youtube... You cant imagine how much you helped me out with this video.. Thank you very much

Wow! What a fantastic head modeling tutorial. Not only do you go straight to the point, but you make sure to have good topology. I also love the fact that you don't use any music. So, we clearly hear what you teach us and that's so important. I hate tutorials with distracting music. I'm really looking forward for to other parts. Subscribed right away. Congratulations !
Thanks for the kind message MarieFrance! I was just thinking that i should add music because other people do it. Now I think I'll just keep it as it is. Thanks for the subscription also!
@@TomCAT_Character_Art Over time, if you could have a better microphone setup, you should be able to isolate your voice from all keyboard, desk, room and outside noises. Thanks for not adding music to your future tutorials ;-)
@@TomCAT_Character_Art you should also consider changing position of your mic because its mighly distracting hearing every bump and mouseclicks as if you had your mic attached to your mouse pad. I am also using monitors so it definetly adds to the quality of which I hear these sounds xD
Hi Thomas, Glad you are gaining from the videos and thank you so much for the super thanks! Fi you have questions or want any of the tutorial blender files, let me know. Thanks Again, TomCAT
@@TomCAT_Character_Art Thank you! I shall try to find good templates. I'm relatively new to Blender and while I've managed to learn some very nice tricks... heads and faces are still a pain, lol. Thanks!
@Johan Liebert bruh if you wanna play it simply as a story then go on...it got one of the greatest story but the thing is *THIS GAME HAS THE WORST AI* like you can never free roam in this game which really was all my expectation! And moreover I wouldn't have disrespected the artists over here but they hype that they created never matched with their results!
I finished this series once and started to watch it again now. No sculpting, %100 hard-surface-modeling technique, even the ears! It is really one of its kind. Such a wonderful ability, such a perfect tutorial! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I started to follow along with this tutorial thinking that to create a head like this would be beyond my skill level in blender. But I'm please to say that I have now created the head which has greatly exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to get started on part 2 - modelling the body - Many thanks TomCAT for a great tutorial.
- Checked many channels: Hardly any videos explaining how to start properly. - Your Channel: Can't THANK YOU enough!! I can only imagine how much effort you put into all these tutorial videos you created so it's easy for us to understand this topic from basics to all the way through to the end. I am so grateful to you! Thanks a lot....
I'm fairly comfortable with hard surface modelling in blender, but I've been having a hard time finding resources to learn character modelling. I really like the long form style of this tutorial, as you get to really see what the process is. You explain everything that you're doing very well! Looking forward to part 2 :)
So I'm starting my Computer Games Development course in University in half a year. I decided to learn blender and character modeling beforehand so it wouldn't be that hard for me in uni. Your tutorial is the best, it's so well explained and really helps me a lot! Thank you so much!
absolutely great tutorial. I felt like I could follow along and repeat what you were doing. I havent given it a shot yet, but i learned a ton just watching you go through your process.
I started to make it, then I ened up buying it off cg trader to see better whats going on, Glade I did. I have zero art skill so looking at finshed one helps me see everything. Very well done both vid and model! Thank you for taking the Time to do this
I had been looking for something like this for so long and ultimately just gave up cause there was nothing available that you could see without paying a fortune. I really hope you continue to do these types of tutorials instead of purely patreon. Your channel will blow up with these kind of tutorials who knows you might be my first patreon subscription. Thanks for the tutorial!
I was exactly where you were. Took a lot of digging to find various tutorials. That's why I made this. Basically a collection of all the tutorials I learned from in one series. Hope it helps!
I really appreciate you taking your time to help people that can't find the correct way, I hope you get payed back one day for what you do for people...
Let me explain just how much you are about to help me with blender. The first time I ever tried to model in blender I would start with the cube, subdivide it a few times, and then go straight into modelling mode and turn on dynamic topography and go to town with sculpting. I would end up with 50000000x different triangles or faces. It would easily get to the point the program would severely lag on my crappy laptop after roughly 10 minutes tweaking a face. With your method I'd be able to use blender properly on this laptop, and I'd be able to actually do models with proper looking faces. You have no idea how helpful this tutorial actually is for me. I'm literally redownloading blender to try and follow along as we speak.
Hi Brandon! I am so excited that this tutorial is helping you! This method is more.. well, methodological than sculpting, but if you can get into it, you don't need to deal with mega meshes or retopology! Thank you so much for letting me know. It really makes these tutorials rewarding to me.
this tutorial was too hard for me as a beginner. when it was time to fix the mesh around the eye it all fell apart. I appreciate the effort that went into making it, thank you.
Hi TomCat, your tutorial is really fantastic, clear and without disturbing music to follow. This is fantastic that you took the time to make your tutorial in real time and not in timelapse like too many other that are almost impossible to follow. It will helps me a lot to work in the right direction with good topology because we know that topology is really important if we want to animate a character at the end. Thank you so much. I have of course added your channel in my favorites.
Thanks for the kind note Francky! I actually do timelapse because the video would be 6 hours long, but I really try to make it so people can follow along. Glad you are finding it useful!
Topology is critical when you're doing organic shapes (at least if you're planning to use them as anything other than a static mesh), and it kills me that so many Blender tutorials in particular nowadays teach newbies to start with all that stuff and skip right over learning basic topology skills. If you really want to be a great 3D artist, *definitely* take the time out to brush up on your basic theory when it comes to stuff like edge loop flow, the importance of quads and where it's acceptable to use triangles/n-gons, 3 and 5-poles, etc.
OMG this was such a great tutorial!!! I have to confess there was ALOT that went over my head, but that's just because of my inexperience with the software and graphic arts. This definitely inspired me to keep trying to learn digital art. I am a traditional artist and really want to use my drawing tablet..lol Thanks so much!
@@TomCAT_Character_Art well, despite the fact that I don't know much about Blender software, I did understand the art principles behind what you were saying and doing. I think that's what made it so exciting for me. I've always liked a challenge and learning a completely new art medium might help break through my 7 year creative block lol So thanks for posting an awesome video!!! :P
i tried to find 3d character modelling tuts everywhere but they all were pretty bad and not well explained, this is the one i've been looking for!! thank u
Yeah this is awesome. I have been trying to find something like this! Short videos are great but these videos are what REALLY help. You didn't have obnoxious music and you even had the shortcuts in the lower right . A++
I wish i had something like this when I was trying to learn to make a character in blender, so I thought to make it. Turns out to be a lot more work than I could ever have imagined. lol
For anybody struggling with 18:36 "i" insert to add geometry b to absorb the boundary, you might need check for a face in the middle of your head by hiding some faces with H and in Solid mode. Delete this middle plane using (X) - Faces
At times, UA-cam is just a gift. Thank you for taking the time to share so much knowledge. I'm just thinking about getting into blender and I'm saving this for when I'm comfortable with the program. This would have surely taken me months to figure out if it weren't for this tutorial.
I’d like to echo those before me in saying that your real-time and we articulated format is much needed for beginners like myself. I’m 32 and changing careers but understand that this process may take a few years ;) New subscriber here for sure. I appreciate you passing down the knowledge and making this community truly unique.
An excellent video. Modeled by polygons, what quality, something that nobody does and that helps us who have outdated equipment. Thanks TomCAT, thank you very much. Please don't privatize it
I recommend the AutoMirror add-on, it's built-in and basically the first thing you did was manually setup what it already does with a single click. (It cuts your object in half and adds the mirror modifier.)
Hi there again. Another very useful shortcut to quickly change the "transform pivot point". Hit period on the keyboard "." and you will get a pie menu for that :) EDIT: Finally finished the first part after 3-4 days of work :) Learned sooo much. Wow! Jumping into part 2 asap 💗
Amazing job! :). Almost nobody do tutorials like this, showing the process in real time. Thanks for share. You are one of few people i know to use trackball xDDD
You Sir are a hero! I started painting miniatures half a year ago and bought my resin 3d-printer some months ago. Ever since I dreamed of getting into 3d-modeling, so I can model, print and paint my own fantasy minis. There is nothing more fulfilling for a huge fantasy-nerd like me
Please don't take this down as I believe this will be the one that finally works for me! I love the duration, the detail and how you work.... Thank you for this...
Just checked your channel, I'm glad to see you're still making these videos. I'm about to watch all of them and learn me a thing or two! You just may be the first Patreon I subscribe to, I'm in favor of supporting this type of learning. *cheers*
Great tutorial on character creation. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for going in depth from working with blueprints to completion. I also subbed.
Subscribed asap. I'd like to follow along this whole tutorial early. Seems really useful, I'd like to watch more character tutorials like this. It's the best since you make step by step in real time
Thank-you very much for the tutorial. You're the only one who has a detailed lesson on character modeling. This video pairs well with Blender Guru tutorials
Thank you so much. I would love to see this continued with creating a texture map and using materials. That is something that seems to be hard to find. Great video.
UVing, texturing and creating high rez normals will be included somewhere along the line. I will go through all the modeling: body, hair, eye lashes, eyebrows and clothing first. **woah that's going to be a lot of videos. What did I get myself into?**
It is easier to use sculpting than vertices but nice tutorial video tho worth a time, at least we got video now that explain peace by peace of vertices modeling, much love dude
Its 2.5 hours. If you hit "Share" and then click the "Start at 00:00" . You can make bookmarks to places in the video that you might want to reference later. Or. Where you last left off. Just copy the link somewhere. I found it helpful. Oh. And. Screenshots. I appreciate the pacing and there's almost no dead time or mistakes just a really good flow. Thanks.
Awesome tutorial! I'm new to 3D modeling and this video really helps me grasp what is all about. I'm still struggling with those loops that help keeping clean topology (to do it as good as you did), because I'm messing with the mask a little too much every single time, but I'll get there someday 😂
Oooh I'm loving this, and I've almost finished working on a far better human head model, than I have ever made before. There will be some bucks flying your way on payday! When do we get to experience part 2? Edit, just joined your Patreon. Bring on Part 2 :D
The other day I was looking for a photo editing/animating program to install on my new laptop. Because I didn't want to keep editing pictures on my phone. And I ended up finding blender. I thought it was to edit, but it wasn't. But I still decided to keep it. But I have no idea how to use. So I've been watching tutorials. Some are just how to make shapes. But then I came across this video of yours, and finally was able to see how to make something like this and not just shapes and how to color them. Though the other tutorials were helpful with the basic. This video feel will really help more in how to use it more.
Thank you so much for this! A lot of the tutorials that I watch are sped up 200 times and I have to play the video on 0.25 speed to see what they are clicking. As someone who is very new in blender, and has only managed to make a donut and a coffee cup before, this is really really great! You are very clear in your explanation and it's good to follow! I would like to know more about the ''why's'' but since this tutorial is already super long I understand why you wouldn't spend a lot of time on it. I can't wait to see your other videos!

You Sir are a hero! I started painting miniatures half a year ago and bought my resin 3d-printer some months ago. Ever since I dreamed of getting into 3d-modeling, so I can model, print and paint my own fantasy minis. There is nothing more fulfilling for a huge fantasy-nerd like me
Nerd here! been 3d modeling and printing 12" figures for 10 years or so! it's really fun. right now I'm using an SLA. can't beat the detail
Ayyy, #nerdhighfive! ^_^ True, sla is the best. No visible layer-lines and no spider webbing as with fdm
Part 2?? THIS IS PERFECT!!
Thanks Azyx!
Please don't take this down as I believe this will be the one that finally works for me! I love the duration, the detail and how you work.... Thank you for this...
I'm waiting for your part 2... You are awesome.....
Just checked your channel, I'm glad to see you're still making these videos. I'm about to watch all of them and learn me a thing or two! You just may be the first Patreon I subscribe to, I'm in favor of supporting this type of learning. *cheers*
Hey, thank you so much! Hopefully I'll have the whole series done before you get to the end. Good luck!
Great tutorial on character creation. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for going in depth from working with blueprints to completion.
I also subbed.
I have started Blender these months and I hope you will be my inspiration when I made my own movie.
Subscribed asap. I'd like to follow along this whole tutorial early. Seems really useful, I'd like to watch more character tutorials like this. It's the best since you make step by step in real time
Thanks for the feedback and sub! I also like step by step tutorials. It's so much easier than hunting around for bits of information around the web.
Thank-you very much for the tutorial. You're the only one who has a detailed lesson on character modeling. This video pairs well with Blender Guru tutorials
Thank you so much. I would love to see this continued with creating a texture map and using materials. That is something that seems to be hard to find. Great video.
UVing, texturing and creating high rez normals will be included somewhere along the line. I will go through all the modeling: body, hair, eye lashes, eyebrows and clothing first. **woah that's going to be a lot of videos. What did I get myself into?**
It is easier to use sculpting than vertices but nice tutorial video tho worth a time, at least we got video now that explain peace by peace of vertices modeling, much love dude
Thanks Friend!
"My head is a real head and it helps."
wise words
Its 2.5 hours. If you hit "Share" and then click the "Start at 00:00" . You can make bookmarks to places in the video that you might want to reference later. Or. Where you last left off. Just copy the link somewhere. I found it helpful. Oh. And. Screenshots. I appreciate the pacing and there's almost no dead time or mistakes just a really good flow. Thanks.
THanks Kenzie, I do a lot of post editing to cut out the dead time. And yes, saving bookmarks is very helpful!
Awesome tutorial! I'm new to 3D modeling and this video really helps me grasp what is all about. I'm still struggling with those loops that help keeping clean topology (to do it as good as you did), because I'm messing with the mask a little too much every single time, but I'll get there someday 😂
Just keep doing it. After awhile you get used to it. I'm not great at it myself.
Nobody takes loops this serious as this guy
Great tutorial, looking forward for next part! Thanks a lot for making it!
FINALLY a tutorial that don't use sculpt mode to make a good head model 🥳👏
Yeah, I think this method just works better for some people, myself included.

I was reluctant to open this video as it is a long tutorial. But OMG, I've learned a lot! That ear modeling is a cheat and I loved it.
How...is...this..free?? gold content mate!! :D
watched countless topology tutorials. this is by far the best! thank you soooo much!!!
Oooh I'm loving this, and I've almost finished working on a far better human head model, than I have ever made before. There will be some bucks flying your way on payday! When do we get to experience part 2? Edit, just joined your Patreon. Bring on Part 2 :D
Hi Andy, I am so excited for the bucks! Also, I really had no idea this would help anyone, so I am super excited that this helped you! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I had no idea what the secret sauce was for organizing edge loops on my character. That has made all the difference
This tutorial is amazing! I've been looking for something like this for so long! Keep up the great work! Can't wait for part 2! :D
Thank you, and I am starting part 2 tomorrow!
The other day I was looking for a photo editing/animating program to install on my new laptop. Because I didn't want to keep editing pictures on my phone. And I ended up finding blender.
I thought it was to edit, but it wasn't. But I still decided to keep it. But I have no idea how to use. So I've been watching tutorials. Some are just how to make shapes.
But then I came across this video of yours, and finally was able to see how to make something like this and not just shapes and how to color them.
Though the other tutorials were helpful with the basic. This video feel will really help more in how to use it more.
This was great. I might of finished my model in time for part 2.
Thank you so much for this! A lot of the tutorials that I watch are sped up 200 times and I have to play the video on 0.25 speed to see what they are clicking. As someone who is very new in blender, and has only managed to make a donut and a coffee cup before, this is really really great! You are very clear in your explanation and it's good to follow! I would like to know more about the ''why's'' but since this tutorial is already super long I understand why you wouldn't spend a lot of time on it. I can't wait to see your other videos!
pretty much saved me from giving up
I am so glad to hear that this helped. Keep it up!
Finally a really detailed character tutorial
This video was amazing! Looking forward to the next part!
I have watched other training videos and this one is just on top of all. Tom’s technique is just awesome and mesmerizing. Please keep making videos.
Omg ty so much, I really want to learn how to make my own characters on blender and this was so helpful, ty again, new sub :)
So glad you found it useful!
Bro you r amazinggg its ashame people don't know what they r missing by not subscribing you
True. The subs really help. Thanks Vinay!
