What you'll learn
In this series of lessons, we will be studying the little explored subject of male and female facial differences. We will examine the main features that make each gender look the way it does and learn techniques and workflows in order to apply it to your own models. We will start by creating a male face, focusing on bone structure, and then transform it into a feminine face. By the end of this training you should have no problem sculpting either men or women inside ZBrush. Software required: ZBrush4R6, Photoshop CS6.
