In this tutorial I will be going in depth on the process for creating a base mesh/ blockout from scratch.

We will begin by looking at foundational concepts to better understand our process. With the correct mindset and tools for the job, we will then proceed to practice these ideas in an actionable way by creating simple forms in a character's leg. Finally I will walk you through the step by step process of creating a complete base mesh/ blockout from beginning to end.

I want to redefine what we consider a good base. Why? Because the early stages of form creation are hands down the most important part of the process. In short, it is the foundation.
