So you like making human heads but they tend to look a bit bad?

And you wanna reach a pro level in a few hours?

Hmmm, it is not really possible!

But what is possible is to improve your head sculpting, anatomy and forms with the exercises in this tutorial!

Starting from skull, making a head over it, male heads, female heads and couple of  feedbacks on beginner heads you will bump up your understanding of head anatomy, shapes and forms in a matter of days, instead of months!

 My name is Niko and i am a 3D character artist and teacher with over 20000 students with my online tutorials of anatomy, character creation, Blender and Zbrush. I am also a youtube standup comedy/sculptor/streamer with my two youtube channels - Speedchar and Speedchar live.

In this tutorial we will go trough the main shapes of the human head. The differences between male and female head. Skull shapes and their importance in the face constructing, sculpting and drawing. 

The tutorial is for all levels, it is done in Blender, but you can do it in Zbrush or even draw in Photoshop or Ipad. 

In the beginning we will start by doing a test head to see where our starting level is. Then we will make a skull with it's main planes, followed by a more detailed skull, all starting from a sphere. Then we make a head over the skull, explaining thickness of facial features and comparing it to the skull. Then we will make series of planes of the head exercises to better understand the forms of the human head. Then few heads from another artists works and scans. Following i will explain the difference between male and female head by making a female out of a male head. Then we will do couple of female heads, and we will go to the feedback section.

The feedback is very important since it will give you the idea of the most common mistakes and how to directly fix them. There will be around 7 female and male heads, made from different beginner artists, that i will fix and make look almost decent :).

At the end i will even go back and fix some minor issues on my own heads made in the tutorial. 

The tutorial is for everyone who wants to improve their knowledge on face and head forms and shapes. Also for those who want to know what exercises to do for fast and efficient level gathering in facial understanding. 

Face sculpting or drawing is essential for all character artists, both 2D and 3D, and i see many people struggle with that for a long time, not knowing what to do. That's why i did this tutorial. To help those in need. So if you feel like you can improve your face sculpting or drawing, you are welcome to the Head anatomy and sculpting exercises tutorial.
