Tutorial: Diving Deep into Facial Anatomy in Blender

The course, prepared by a skilled 3D artist and online content creator, Corazon Bryant, covers cutting-edge techniques for character artists who aim to sculpt and texture a realistic face of the character. In this course, you will dive deep into the structure of the human face, and the facial anatomy to find the finest ways for texturing and sculpting life-like skull, fat, and muscles. 

After you acquire the basis of the facial anatomy, you will apply this knowledge to create a realistic portrait. You'll sculpt and make connections between the references and the theory from the first part of the course. The mentor will share the tips and tricks and show how she unwraps, bakes, and textures.

During the course, you'll also create custom skin stamps that you can utilize as high-resolution textures for skin pores and wrinkles. Then you'll work on creating realistic eyes, eyebrows, lashes, facial fuzz, and hair. The mentor notes that for working on the particle hair system you'll use Vertex group, and the clothes will be created in Blender’s cloth simulation. Eventually, you'll learn how to generate a cinematic film shot, that you can further use in your portfolio. 

Among some of the previous courses of Corazon, you can find Female Character Creation – Film Pipeline, Complete Guide to Realistic Character Creation in Blender, and Hyper-Realistic Character Portrait Tutorial that also uncover some great techniques for character artists.
