In this tutorial, we will be covering how to create a realistic human while we'll be touching bases on how to create skin textures, how to composite scenes, how to shade and light those scenes. Also, we'll be talking about how to develop realistic hair and just my philosophies and techniques on character modeling and character art in general, so sit back, relax, buckle up because you're in for a ride, and let's get started.
