Sculpting

Before i started sculpting i drew up some concept sketches on photoshop. i tried drawing over a photo of Rowen along with altering the shape of his face with the liquify filter, i also manipulated my reference picture to fit the shape of Rowens face, it was a fun exercise but not that helpful i needed to spend more time on it but didn't have the skills to properly do what i wanted, below are the results of my efforts, they helped me in desiding what i wasn't going to do and how i didn't want the sculpt to look.

sculpture in progress.... work still needs to be done on the nose, lips and around eyes and just the general shape of the face but it is getting there. The head scarf is there to help me visualise how it will look when finished because i found the shape of the bald head too distracting.



After studying the reference picture and comparing it to my sculpt i think that i need to widen the nasolabial folds, define the form of the eye bags and upper folds. add more to the nostrils just to give them a bit more shape. The neck and jowls still needs a lot of work to create the wait and effect of gravity on the sagging skin. I think over all it needs to be a bit more feminine, softening the jaw line and work on the brow as well as making the lips a little fuller should help.
