Studying the face

Hello folks…

I’m studying more anatomy than ever.

I’m seeing  everybody like mini-ecorches these days….

So, with the help of some of my books, that you can see at my “new LIBRARY“, I’m doing a lot of exercises, without details.

Just trying to understand some of the principal muscles and diferent shapes of the human face.

It’s amazing. There’s billions of expressions, volumes, shapes in the face.

Here we go with my last exercises.

I’m trying not to spend more than one day in anyone of them.

Actually, I did each one in about 40 minutes, but the point is sculpt without time, focusing on the anatomy.

They are coming fast maybe, but nevermind. As exercises, I try to just sculpt, have fun and study.

References are beeing used all the time.

I using drawings, pictures, sculptures to do this.

I received some e-mails asking me about the workshop that I did here in Brazil last month.

Yeah, I was amazing guys!

Thank you for the nice words and comments there. I hope I can do another one in a short period of time….

I really like to “teach” and talk about my studies, it’s always a pleasure!

I was there with Zbrush and some of my clay studies.

The important thing that I tried to say is…if you wanna be a figurative modeller/sculptor, study anatomy.

I said this like 30 times in a hour, kind of funny, but I really believe in anatomy.

Ow, I said one important thing about Talent x Dedication. Some people there asked me if I was always connected to art and etc, and my answer was NO! I used to skateboard all my day, during 10 years of my life. As I say in my bio, Art just appeared to me in 2006, so, there’s no secret. (Well, if you know one, please tell me ). You just have to study more and more. Really spend your time thinking and living art. (actually I’m doing this and I don’t know if it works, but let’s go)

My jukebox has to say thanks to Mister man in black, a.k.a. Johnny Cash. It’s amazing how Cash could transfer so emotion with just his voice.

Well, More updates to come…I’m working almost full time on my new demoreel, 2010.

I’m working as a freelancer too, so, if you have something for me, just let me know!

As always, it’s my pleasure receive some good emails and talk a little bit with you guys.
