I started this sketch out of a sphere using photo reference. I found it helpful to use inflate brush to block in the hands and legs, and i found that zremesher was helful in the early stages to be able to build up forms with the clay build up brush. Hope these sketches i made are helpful.
the move, rotate and lasso mask tools were helpful to begin posing the sketch
here i'm beginning to use damian standard brush together with claybuildup to begin blocking in muscles. Using a photo reference that shows muscles clearly is helpful to begin to block in the forms.
In total this sketch took about 1 hour.Thanks,
Nate
