Throughout the journey, students will start by focusing on the blockout stage - establishing the character’s basic forms, proportions and silhouette to lay a strong foundation.
From there, we’ll dive into the refinement of key features. Students will also learn how to sculpt stylized clothing and accessories that add personality, as well as detailed assets like hair and any unique elements that define your character’s style.
By the final week, we’ll bring all elements together, applying polish to ensure a smooth, cohesive look and setting up a final render to showcase a beautifully finishes, high-quality character bust that’s ready to be added to your portfolio.
