Sculpting The Planes of the Head | In-Depth Tutorial

Hey all, I wanted to tell you about my new tutorial!

The human head is one of the most difficult things to sculpt. I've seen artist go years without fully grasping the most fundamental concepts needed to work from the ground up. Instead playing around in the mud until something starts to feel right.

Well that's no way to work, so in this tutorial I will be demystifying the head by breaking it down into its primary forms. Taking you step by step through close to 20 different stages of developing the head to build one stage at a time on top of one another until we have a finished bust.

This tutorial is FREE for all students of the Appeal Academy and members of The Rendered tier on my Patreon.
