2nd attempt at sculpting

[Dr. Pepper]

1st attempt did not go well. 2nd attempt present, was an attempt at making some kind of super hero character. I think it is okay for someone with no experience, plus I saw how bad my first try was.  What do you think?

Well speaking as a chap with two left hands (frequently stuck together with Super Glue) I think thats not a bad first effort at all! The helmet is a bit strange but the body parts look pretty damn anatomical.
I tried making stuff with DAS once - I managed to make a rectangle - almost.

Looks ok for a 2nd attempt characature of a superhero.  If you're looking for feedback (which I assume you are since you asked! ) then I'd suggest you might want to compare what your chap looks like to a superhero in a similar pose so that you can start to see for yourself what might be improved.

I think that perhaps his hips and torso could be a little larger as a starting point for improvement - but keep at it Dr. Pepper, its a good start and I think your next few attempts could get better


@MCS: Stop sculpting in superglue!  It is not an appropriate sculpting medium!

Is that where I'm going wrong??

Here is my 3rd attempt to make a super hero. Not good but better than the last attempt.  Still can not figure out how to do a face.

Do you use a wireframe or armatures? The mini doesn't look bad at all for a true second try. A good way to do faces is doing them in parts. Start with a small blob, that's what you'll get when starting with prebuilt armatures. Add a chin and cheeks somewhere up to the eyes. Let id dry a bit and add a mouth. This can be done as easy as using a small knife to cut a mouth, pressing it a little into each direction to achive something like lips. Let it dry again. Next add a forehead and or a nose.

Now you'll have a basic face without eyes. That's as far as I got on my second mini. I then added ears, hair a comset and finally mirrorshades, so I have no idea how to sculpt eyes on humanoids. My first mini was a procupinefish-kitten. A mini inspired by the fugu-kitten stuffed animal a friend of mine has... weird idea, weirder mini...

But then again I'm not sure how to classify my attempts. Sure those were my first tries at whole minis, but before I've modifyied minis countless times and tried a lot face sculpting with putty left over from modifying.
