Week 11 - 6th of December - The female figure

The female figure

The female figure was surprisingly easy to sculpt.  This was due to the fact that I spent three quarters of the trimester studying anatomy and sculpting it.  So when adjusting the male figure, all I had to was look at reference of the nude female figure and adjust it accordingly.  Like any endeavour, I began with a fair amount of anxiety.  However with the incredible amount of resources available, I was confident that I would be able to complete this task.  

To get the female figure into a sense of believability, I had to bring down the muscle tonality a fair bit.  This meant using the clay tubes/clay build up with low z-intensity to fill in the recessed places of the mesh.  This meant the muscles would be filled in, giving the impression of the fatty deposits of the human body.

The one thing I wasn't entirely happy with was the hair.  I may actually change the hair when posing because for some reason all I could see when sculpting the hair was the male figure.  

In addition, I had difficulty with sculpting the female legs.  I had to really go in from a low subdivision and shape it out and then in higher subdivision levels create the bony landmarks I wanted.  I got a bit confused as to whether this girl was a fit girl or a little bit chubby.  

Below is a video of my sculpt.  Next time I will be posing the female and finally finish this entire project by rendering out the male and female figure.
