SEE THROUGH THE MAGIC Sculpting a realistic face is often seen as an almost occult experience, reserved for only a few. In this tutorial series, we’ll show you that it’s not magic – and that there’s a clear formula you can follow. Once you understand the steps, you can start to truly learn how to sculpt anything.

SCULPTED FROM A SPHERE In order to truly understand the fundamentals, we are starting off from a sphere instead of a base mesh. This makes it’s a lot more challenging, and you’ll get a better understanding of how to truly sculpt a human head, instead of simply moving proportions of a base mesh around.
