I cant tell you how many anatomy videos ive watched where the instructor is very vague and theoretical. "Just sculpt/paint what you see." "always compare". Thank you for being straight and showing areas that have the most mistakes. This proves how great of a teacher you are!
Dang dude, this is some top-tier advice (and very well articulated). Mad respect for releasing content like this for free.
I've been appreciating your work since 2007. Thank you for what you've shared of your process over the years. Hugely inspirational.
Great content, this is a gold mine. Hope to keep seeing more videos from you bud.
Can't believe such a high level content is available for free. Thanks, Kris!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for this video Kris, your classes are awesome too, highly recommend!
You're a legend Kris! How incredible is your work!
This was very helpful and informative! I really appreciate your use of anatomy to explain placement and breaking up the parts. Really awesome video, thanks! 👏👏
Thanks Kris! I can't wait to enroll in one of your courses!
Great info - thanks for sharing! I love these more technical anatomy videos.
Thank you very much for this video, Kris! You are amazing, man! I'm a huge fan. Cheers from Brazil!
This is SO GOOD!! I mainly do environment concept work, but when I do characters I notice a few areas where the 3D artists struggle (to be fair, I'm sure their job is technically more difficult than mine in 2D): #1 failure to recognize loss of mid-face volume in older characters. Any char who is not a child, teen, or highly stylized has SOME loss of mid-face volume. This manifests in concave areas below the "eye bag" & in the cheeks. #2 is insufficient cranial volume in the back or lack of sloping in front top of cranium. You mention this, too. #3 is the neck, just all of it, I realize it's incredibly complex but so many 3D guys just model a cylinder neck & it really detracts from the char. #4 lower part of skull by mouth not properly convex, seeming flat. I tend to also observe low nose bridge but this varies widely by ethnicity so if your 3D team isn't accustomed to sculpting Westerners, they need to be told to pull out the nose bridge.
I could go on, but you've covered quite a few. Your sculpting is beautiful, A+
Happy you back great work kris
Inspiring and full of great information as always! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!

Thanks a lot
Thanks for the info =)
Holy shit, that's the most useful video on this goddamn site.
Thanks, Kris!
big like for you before i watch anything
Valeu Kris ♥
great video . Can u make video on the face proportions thanks
Great video, really amazing info! :) Sound distorts a bit though, maybe need to be a bit further from the mic ;)
Only youtuber I hit the ringbell for
Some of the things you're going through is also anatomical differences;
All the bones are varied in different individuals - the teeth and mouth not the least. Overbites, underbites etc. Something that is not explored enough maybe! Because both are normal variations.
But otherwise it's nice watching your tutorial :)
nice!
Are you planning on creating a bundle with your last three classes?
I don't think I ever truly realized how important Weta's Tissue system is until I watched this. At some point of fidelity it actually becomes much, much harder to fake it than to accurately simulate it. The body is just too intricate even in a static form, let alone in movement.
Belissimooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kris
Thank you so much master!
the ear 1km from the face XD
Whooooa!
Beautiful work! Reach out to us if you need a high resolution picture.
I would LOVE that! How can I get a hold of them? Thank you :)
❤❤
the render looks like JK Simmons!!!
Cripta era muito massa mesmo!
Wonderful video. I'm currently sculpting a character for a college assignment and this video is a welcome resource. Thanks man!
your sculpt so far lowkey also looks like Jon Hamm from MadMen
❤
Frazetta is the best fantasy illustrator who ever lived. Guy's like Boris Vallejo try to do the same, but fall way short.
what do you charge to create a model of someone's likeness?
At first I thought it was G-Man. Put him a military haircut and a suit. "Time, Mr. Freeman?"
looks nothing like G-man, clean your glasses!
Human binocular vision is 35mm lens on a 35mm camera, 50mm is equivalent to monocular vision on a 35mm camera. And zbrush cameras just suck. Pro photographers usually shoot portraits with 85mm to make people look better.
and just think; the romans and greeks had no z brush, no 3d printers... just stone and marble with a chisel
The main anatomical mistake people make when sculpting the face is not learning anatomy at all. I don't know why people don't... A lot of people would rather stumble through the dark for years trying to get good with just reference when they don't need to. Anatomy can be daunting but there are amazing courses and teachers that make the process of learning much easier. There's Kris Costa, Scott Eaton, Ryan Kingslien, and quite a few more. But people would still just poorly copy reference and have all these models with weird random lumps and bumps. Where as if you just spent a few weeks learning the actual anatomy, you're like 70% of your way to becoming an advanced skilled sculptor. 70% anatomical knowledge, 30% reference.
luckily I got into sculpting faces cause of historical facial reconstructions like they did with Richard III, so I got all the info from that
True and Kris is a master. We're blessed to have his wisdom here.
After starting to learn drawing and painting, I realized its not all about Anatomy either. You gotta also understand other fundamentals like simplification/shapes, values/lighting, basic forms, geasture, types of folds, big medium small, contrast etc. Only knowing Anatomy does not guarantee to make an appealing sculpture that has life in it. Albeit it is an an imortant basic part of the equation, it will only get you so far if you stop there. There are lots of examples also of the opposite end out there: Sculpts that look like medical charts, done by the numbers, overly symmetrical, stiff, with a lack of feel, emotion, and interptetation of the subject, and an obvious lack of observation skills. There are multiple levels to this. Anatomy is just one of them and overly focussing on it can also be a crutch to blend out that it in itself is not all we have to learn.
follow in the footsteps of Frazetta
get fucking yoked so you can just pose in front of a mirror and you never have to hire a model
