Anatomy for sculptors is the best guide you can ever have.
If you are looking for tutorials any tutorial in cgpeers about basic sculpting should do the trick but I would recommend lurking a lot in gumroad first, there is a lot of good tutorials there

>> No.694212

Yeah, a bit of study about face anatomy and facial features could help you.
Since you have your base, you could maybe try to modelize the thing that seems to be easiest according to you and gradually continue to refine the other parts

>people like you easily confuse the "muh drawing skills" with what it actually practices,
I think you're missing the point, which is that drawing is just better to learn form than 3d, because it's just quicker to experiment with and because it forces you to visualize form. Not to mention the tools tend to get out of your way. Even if you go the loomis route, imagine practicing with basic forms like cubes and cilinders and so on, and how much more convoluted that is in 3d compared to drawing a few lines in a piece of paper.

>with what it actually practices, which is observation skills
Observation skills is far from the only thing drawing practices. You can add visualization, feeling form, suggesting form, values, general shape and form awareness (for studying), dexterity, error management and acceptance, and probably some other things, and most of these are notoriously dificult to practice in 3d alone. It's a "the right tool for the job" mindset, nothing more; drawing is better to learn art.

Make no mistake, anyone who's good at 3d is not a stranger to drawing, so stop literally SEETHING and grab your pen and paper, it's not that hard.

My point was that you can practice those things in three dimensions as well, and for that matter the act of drawing isn't necessary. I will agree with you that it may be simper and removes some tools/software barrier that someone not familiar with 3D will have, but if you're familiar with ie. Zbrush though, then there's no real reason to practice volumes/form/shape/etc with a discipline that is not your end goal.

Overall I think we agree but to me it all depends on how familiar or not you are with the tools and what you want to focus on first. Personally I would learn the soft and then anatomy, but someone who would want to learn anatomy/form first then yes, drawing would do the trick.

Finally, no need to use buzzwords and caps, mate - I'm not some trolling blendlet. And just so you know, as a happily employed senior 3D generalist I can admit I'm shit at drawing but learned the necessary complementary skills via other things like photography and traditional sculpting. So yes, drawing is useful, but let's not pretend it's 100% mandatory or even the most productive thing to do for someone who wants to focus entirely on 3D.

I've been modelling and drawing for years, and this is why I'm afraid to try sculpting seriously. I've used sculpting here and there for projects that require it, but never making a whole character or anything closely resembling a human shape.

It's frustrating to go from a place where you're so comfortable making things that you're no longer held back by the programs and can make whatever, to being back to square 1 and joining the rat race again.
To be fair I never really did much drawing or modelling of organics, but still. It just seems like an overly daunting task.

It's a new age grandpa.
There's literally no reason someone these days needs to start with a pen and paper drawing 2d when there's such a hoarde of resources for them to jump straight into sculpting.

Would it help? Of course, but many things help. And sure if you were gonnna do sculpting full-time you would at some point want to improve yourself by studying anatomy, but literally every profession in the world has similar cases where it's good to have a handle on X to do Y.

Let's be honest. Can a sculptor learn anatomy and become a good artist without knowing how to draw? If they can with clay, they surely can with digital tools as well. Drawing would help, of course; but is it really necessary?

>> No.696185

>>696149
I dunno... get a basemesh and just put stuff on top of it based on a reference, then retopo the result? You're gonna get a character out of it. I don't see how you need to be able to draw on a 2D plane in order to create and edit primitives into shape on a 3D viewport.

Unless your rationality is that you have to be able to, and are required to, create everything from absolute zilch on an empty viewport, or else you're not really making a 3D model. Which is a concept held very dearly by zBrush artstation cowboys on their pursuit of the golden rush of likes.

>> No.696186

>>696166
You could learn by trial and error as you look at references of what you're trying to do, over the course of many models. Most of them won't be good, and yeah you're probably not getting a job any time soon, but that's okay, at least you're doing what you want and learning at the same time. In that sense, yeah, you really only need to know a thing or two about anatomy to sculpt organic characters, because you pick more and more of it up as you go.

Thinking that you HAVE to know and study something intrinsically before you can even do another thing in the chain, yeah, sorry to break it to you, but that is kind of a grandpa thing to say. It's like music in the 1500's where masters would have their students do thousands and thousands of bowing exercises over the course of many years before they would be allowed to play even a simple minuet.

Holy shit.
You have to learn to walk before you can run.
At the ''very least'' you must know beforehand the skeletal structure and origin, insertion and names of all the superficial muscles which make up the human form.

Why are you so fucking daft?
Why does the thought of picking up a pen and putting it on paper instil so much fucking fear into you? Fear that you may accidentally shove the pen up your ass?

Why the fuck are you even getting into art if you outright reject the idea of drawing? Or learning anatomy?
WHY.
WHY.
WHY.
I literally can't even.
Is it feelings of inadequacy? Holding yourself to high standards? I doubt it, since the internet's standard for depicting the human form isn't Michelangelo. Unfortunately, I'd add.

You don't need to become a WoTC card illustrator, but sculpting is too time-consuming if you're just starting out. Exploratory sculpting won't be superior to drawing until you get into the tertiary forms.
For gesture, primary forms and major secondary forms? Pen and paper. Besides, if you can't even get the primaries right, it will do you no good to sculpt on top of those.

But what goes on in that head of yours when you think "yeah, I'm totally gonna get into art and sculpt naked people, but I refuse to know anatomy" and think of it as anything other than a NON-SEQUITUR?

Maybe I'm biased because I'm literally paid to ensure anatomically correct deformations on high-end characters/creatures. But still.

the best way to go to organic sculpting is practice organic shapes, either by drawing or sculpting, if you do both you get more skills but it doesn't matter if you like one more than the other, your end goal is understanding organic forms.
I started by drawing people, then I discovered zbrush and used the observation skills I got from drawing to make human shapes, and again, I think it doesn't matter if you want to jump right into sculpting because it took me quite a while to make decent shapes, it is a different way of thinking about the shapes you make.
The best advice I can give is: start somewhere, get good references and practice.

How do you equate walking to doing some shitty sculpts in 3D? What a reach, dude. Yeah you can make it up as you go, like I said you're still learning and it's far more important to get comfortable with the software and lose the fear of trying than it is to worry about where exactly the obunga wunga plexus revengeance is on the human body. By looking at tons of references, you start to see patterns and learn what's supposed to be there and what isn't. Until then, go ahead, make a mess, screw up all the bones and muscles, who's gonna care? You're a beginner.

You don't HAVE to pump out the most anatomically super correct thing right from the first sculpt you do. You're not gonna be arrested for it, worst that'll happen is you'll get a member of the sculpting secret police to shit themselves out of anger on you. Kinda like what you're doing now, actually.
