Hi, this is my first proper attempt at scultping from zspheres after messing with zbrush for a few hrs. Took about 3hrs. Self taught. Referenced photos for the body. Any help or critiques appreciated. Thanks.
carry on going mate, i would start again with a fresh basemesh. grab a free OBJ base from zbrush central cut off the arms and legs and give it another crack. if u dont see details in something dont sculpt them. i would suggest a really good medical book for anatomy reference or splash out on the www.3d.sk reference CDs there great for human anatomy and textures. as for this one try sculpting in one of the defult materials and use clay tubes insted of the standard brush. the standard brush sucks balls for sculpting with when u start. so hard to control and last time i checked there wasnt any solid tubes and balls in the human anatomy. the clay tubes one will give u a grittyer starting sculpt and a little stryation in the muscle structure and wont deform wildly when u put a bit of pressure on the tablet.
Thanks mate. I hadn’t even tried the clay tubes brush so thanks for pointing that out. I found the standard brush pretty extreme even on the graphics tablet so this is good to know. Thanks for the link and other info too and also taking the time to reply with some info. It’s greatly appreciated. I hope to post some more work soon and hopefully get more feedback. Cheers.
Added a bit more detail to sculpt then painted in zbrush and added dirt in photoshop. Comments welcome.

right you could kill with this sculpt now with one simple move. blend that peck into the deltoid with a little flap of skin. check out the pecks. and do a little post in photoshop which u obviously have experiance of. do that and it will unify those arms and the big pecks. maybe give the impression of streched skin slash2 and smooth brush works well for implying streching. good luck buddy!
Thanks henry. I will give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks for the image, it will be a big help. Do you know anywhere else I can get free reference images like that one? Cheers!
i just googled chest to deltoid muscles in google. google images is the bomb. not enough people use it. that and www.3d.sk is great and flicker is very underrated too. peace.
Another update. Again thanks for any advice and thanks henry for the pointers too. Is this any better?
