■ Advanced Techniques: Sculpting the Demon Beast 113
We will now make some adjustments to the bust to help improve its sense of character.
This includes making large changes of the length of the neck as well as smaller anatomical
form details like folds of flesh and shaping the lips.
- To introduce a sense of gracefulness in the figure, you’ll extend the neck. Doing so
will also help echo the long horns. Be careful not to make the neck too thin or weak.
Use Transpose masking to isolate the neck. Rotate and extend the neck using the
Transpose tools (Figure 3.72). - Mask the nasolabial fold next to the nose. Press the faces here in slightly to help create
the sense of a fold of flesh. Using the Standard brush with a small Draw Size, sketch
some crossing wrinkles radiating out from the lips. You’ll refine these wrinkles later
at a higher subdivision level. Finish the ear using the same approach described in
Chapter 2 (Figure 3.73). - Using the Standard brush, create the shelf of the lower lip. Create the soft fleshy parts
of the lip with the Claytubes brush (Figure 3.74). The lips can be further puckered
together, giving the impression of pressure, by using the flatInflate brush (Figure 3.75).
Sculpt the nodes of the lips from the side view (Figure 3.76).
