Well today certainly has been a good day. I've been attempting to get the hang of Mudbox for the past couple of weeks. I was getting a little frustrated with it as nothing that I did looked like I wanted to - it looked like an attempt at something that could be what I wanted it to be -if that makes sense. However, today I had a sit down at attempting to create the head of this earlier character.

I am pleased with the way that the face came out, however, the hair looks like veins. I was unsure of how to sculpt it so just did some basics, and will finish it once I've had a look at some videos. The mesh is awful, I wasn't paying attention to it when I started modelling so I didn't know what I was doing to it. Apparently I can import it into Z-brush and create a mesh?

I edited two heads in max (edited from SGMAN/WOMAN) to created the basic shape of the heads I wanted to create. I then began sculpting them, the female character is more progressed than the male. I have learnt much about Mudbox from both of them, such as paying attention to mesh structure and have become more comfortable with the tools in Mudbox in general.

***EDIT***
I removed the hair because it was distracting from the point of sculpt, which is the face.



I also used some tutorials that helped me learn a lot about the tools and processes used:
