Interview with
Figure Modeler 23rd
Question.01
What is the most difficult part of creating a female character with simple clothing and accentuated folds??
Clean surface treatment and subtle detail expression are most important when creating a female character. However, at the same time, the parts that need to be expressed must be clearly expressed. Many people say that as they work on sculpting, the more they sculpt, the messier the form becomes. In these cases, rather than relying on special techniques, it’s essential to practice proper pacing based on a sound work process. Therefore, in this class, I’ll also share the expertise you need to achieve both clean and delicate pacing during the sculpting process.
Question.02
Was there anything you specifically focused on when designing the curriculum for this class?
The most important point of this class is, of course, emphasis and omission in sculpting. The contrasting expression techniques created through emphasis and omission can be considered the most important techniques for stylized characters. I’ve designed the curriculum so that you can firmly grasp these points.
Question.03
Who do you recommend this class for?
This class is recommended for those who are already familiar with ZBrush and have a drive to create female figures ASAP. As this class focuses on learning sculpting skills rather than ZBrush's tool functions, it’s particularly useful for those who are already comfortable with ZBrush but find it challenging to create aesthetically pleasing figures.
