Week 2 – Friday 27th of September. 1000 word proposal


This week I spoke to Jason about my interest and was met with good faith.  At the end of week 1, I ended up purchasing a laptop that would help me work at Uni with Zbrush as Qantm does not have the programme as part of it’s learning curriculum.
At home I continued researching tutorials and books.  I wanted a book that talked about anatomy for artists in a traditional sense, as well as a book that explained digital sculpting.  I found 2 good resources.
-        Human Anatomy for Artists: The Elements of Form by Eliot Goldfinger (Oxford University Press, 1991)
-        Zbrush Digital Sculpting: Human Anatomy by Scott Spencer (Wiley Publishing, Inc, 201

I began typing up my 1000 word research proposal and learning agreement.  I decided to split up the remainder of the 13 weeks into the way the digital sculpting book split its chapters.  Breaking it up into stages, it began by creating a zsphere armature for the base mesh.  Then moved on to creating gesture and the general form into the figure.  Then focused in on each specific area of the body ie. The head and neck; the torso; the arms; the pelvis and legs; hands and feet.  Finally it moved on to finishing the naked figure.  I added another week which focused on clothing, however I may remove that to focus on posing and rendering.
