    That's great, I hope you do more of those.
    I have a basic understanding of anatomy, but I struggle with breaking the elements into primary or secondary forms like you do.
    It's really helpful to have this kind of guidelines to follow.

    I've always struggled with anatomy and proportions, but using this video as a starting point I managed to make a recognizable human skull! I really appreciate how you simplify explanations and focus only on larger structures instead of cramming the crazy names of every little bone like so many do

    I think after watching this, I'm finally closer to actually understanding how one would practice anatomy.
    I've been motivated quite a few times to learn anatomy and tried reading and watching material about it, but I never understood how I was supposed to start learning it.
    I'm think I'm a bit closer to understanding.
    Thanks

  • @LtYorki

    I think you may be the best so far at explaining anatomy, process and showing how to do it. This video has more in 11 minutes then tutorials in that just show process and nothing else in 1-3 parts. cant wait for next one

  • @Bordie3D

    Great perspective tutorial. It's important to take what you leanred and watch other videos about it too and just feel the dopamine of guessing what they're gonna say because you learned it from other videos. Personally that's what helps solidify it within my own mind.

    I have been an artist for my whole life now, I'm so into character design, comics, 2D animation but now I want to do a step up and learn 3D modelling/animation! It's been three months I'm using blender and your videos are what inspired me the most! I hope you'll be able to teach us more stuff here on UA-cam. Also may I ask what device are you working on? Thank you and I absolutely ADORE your work!!

    Mate, 3 days ago i so this video and got myself a Huion tablet (basucally because of you lol). I got the Kamvas 22 Plus as i am getting into modeling and totally love it.
    Just as a side note, place your affiliate link for the tablet in your description because i've spend like 20min trying to figure out what brand tablet you're using so i can get one.
    Anyway, great videos and your explenation about how to model helps a lot :)

    Would you recommend fully mastering each stage before moving onto the next, or go through stages one through four, several times, until you master those before moving onto stage five?
    Another question is: How do you flatten parts out so easily?

    • @thivolan3d
      @thivolan3d Рік тому

      Hey there SoulSphere!
      So learning anything is a cumulative process; trying to master each stage would probably drive you insane so id recommend working and completing each stage (not mastering it) then moving on to something else like composition (for example) then anatomy, then shading etc etc. when you come back to the skull youll realise youre not so great at expressions (again, for example) so youll then try and complete that stage and learn something new.
      Trying to learn everything at once is like trying to carry all your luggage through an airport by hand, it might work but youll probably break your back trying and drop and lose things on the way... So take it one step at a time and before you know it youll have reached youre destination with all your faculties in order.
      As for flattening i dont really use blender to sculpt so i cant help you there... but if you use zbrush theres the hpolish and trim smooth brushes
      PS
      you should come back to each stage when you feel the need to; its something all artists do; you cant master anything in a few weeks, its usually a looooong long time for mastery...

    It would be awesome if you could do a tutorial similar to blender guru on sculpting with the tools. could you do a series like that showing how to use the tools?
    The tools seem hard to use only because i am not sure how to use the strength very well.

    Trying to sculpt that thing is liking dying in dark souls over and over again Resulting frustration and It looks not that hard. But the execution gave me not the same feeling.
    Its not Critic or something. Its just Anatomy is just very difficult let alone drawing it.
    Awesome explanation by the way.
    If i may give critic A bit loud Transition Glitch sound effect.
    I assume this is a (Anatomy beginner,) Not a sculpting beginner Tut🙂

      In this video He is using one of the newer HUION Kanvas monitor, i think 24 maybe because of the size, i have 22plus, but this one looks bigger. Sometimes he using xp pen too. For me HUION is cheaper but as good as xp pen or wacom so i recommend it but you can watch a lot of comparison videos on youtube.
