Introduction

This project introduces students to digital sculpting fundamentals in ZBrush by focusing on anatomical accuracy through the creation of a full character design. The assessment develops observation, proportion control, and digital sculpting workflow, serving as the foundation for more complex character sculpting later in the course.

Project 1

Fig. 1 Exercise 1: character sheet

Based on the character sheet I created in Exercise 1,  I started to sculpt the character from shepere to do rough blocking. When I combine other body parts, I also used cylinder and so on.

After finishing rough blocking, the detail was added to the block. At this stage, I adjusted the body balance and some parts. The first 2 stages were done.

Next, I moved on to creating the props and outfit. Since the character has an asymmetrical design, my teacher advised me to switch from a asymmetrical base for the main body, which also required me to adjust the accessory designs accordingly. For the clothing, I focused on the inner layers to ensure there were no visible gaps between the body and the clothes. Unfortunately, my computer crashed at this stage, preventing me from fine-tuning the final details. The outfit is separated into two parts: the top and the skirt. After shaping them, I added holes to the skirt following the character sheet. Finally, I successfully completed Project 1
