Starting from a sphere, you will look at the concept and learn to identify building blocks. On week one you will build basic anatomy.

Week 2: Focus on face and hands
On Week 2, you will build the most difficult parts of every character – face and body. You’ll make sure that she has a personality, too!

Week 3: Craft clothes
Piece by piece, you will create T-shirt, jacket, boots and pants for your character, ensuring she has all the details, and that the folds look right.

Week 4: Adding accessories
You’ve heard that details matter, right? During Weeks 4 we’ll create weapon, chains and other pieces that make the character complete.

Week 5: Beauty pass and topology
You will go over the character looking at your work as a whole, ensuring all pieces work together. We’ll also fix topology where necessary.
