This is an animal anatomy study focused on structure, silhouette, and presentation.
Mentored by the wonderful Gael Kerchenbaum (Artstation link).
Gael approaches sculpting from the inside out: skeletal structure first, then muscles, followed by skin and fur. Posing comes last.
I’m nearing Week 7 now, and it has been an eye-opening and deeply rewarding journey so far.
Sculpted on Zbrush, rendered in Maya.
I have a turnaround movie, if you’d like to take a look.
I was heartbroken when CG Master Academy closed just before the animal sculpting course was about to begin… I reached out to Gael and was delighted to learn that he was offering mentorships instead. One door closes, and another opens.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
