Course Description

Have you tried sculpting and texturing a realistic face and no matter how much effort you put into it, it doesn't turn out the way you want it? Are you just fed up of not getting anywhere with your skillset? Then welcome to the Facial Anatomy and Portrait Course for Blender Artists. My name is Corazon Bryant, professional 3D artist and educator. I will be your instructor here.

In this course, we will take the time to truly understand the underlying structure of the human face. We will dive in deep and study the facial anatomy the correct way by dissecting each important parts of the skull, fat, and muscles. You will gain exceptional observational skills that will allow you to identify every little bump and forms that show on the surface of the human face.

After you obtain the foundation of the facial anatomy, you will apply what you have learned by creating a realistic portrait. We will sculpt and make connections between our references and our anatomy knowledge. I will show you have to retopologize, unwrap, bake and texture. We will create custom skin stamps that we can utilize as high resolution textures for skin pores and wrinkles. Another huge part of creating believable skin is understanding the nodes of Blender and how to construct a network of them to achieve lifelike results.

We will make realistic eyes, eyebrows, lashes, facial fuzz, and hair. Vertex group and weight painting are significant methods we will use to control our particle hair system.

To create our realistic cloth, we will use Blender's cloth simulation. I will show you how to create fabric and how to project a photo on the mesh to add an extra texture on our jacket.

Once everything is done, you will learn how to generate a cinematic film shot of your character that you can use for future job opportunities.

If you have the patience, time, and self-motivation, then this course will do extreme wonders for you. If you feel that your character creation skill is not improving, then it is time for you to learn the anatomy. Come and join this course at Victory3D.

Great course. I learnt a lot. The pace was perfect for what I was looking for, not too slow. cant wait to get onto the next one :)

By David Legg on 5/19/2023

Great idea to give Blender artists the tools for making more realistic facial images. Can't wait to try it out on the family!

By Žasmīne Kubiļus on 1/25/2023

I really enjoyed the course, and way how teacher give information. I made my first Character portrait using this and really happy about result! Ofc sometimes i skipped some parts of videos becouse the teacher spoke too slowly. Posted my work on ArtStation https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8w2dY6

By Catherine TRITSCHLER on 10/15/2022

A lot of operations and manipulations should go a lot faster, nearly one video for merging vertices between the collar and the shirt is way too much. The teacher is talented but she doesn't seem to have perfect command of blender and its shortcuts

from being a pencil portrait artist, i'm learning to see more of the facial features by the anatomy analysis. cant wait to start the sculpting and how the knowledge of this will help

By Josh Batterson on 8/23/2022

the teacher is superbly knowledgeable about anatomy and blender. i'm learning a lot of things about anatomy that i didn't know, and find this to be a challenging but good learning experience. i do have some feedback which isn't a complaint, rather a comment about the intermediate rating. i agree it's intermediate w/a small amount of advanced knowledge of blender sculpting involved. the teacher does very well in preparing the student for the challenges of the course by going into very thorough anatomy primers pre modelling tutorial. due to my being an intermediate skillset learner if possible, a few more cues on brush switching, brush size, and so forth would be great.

i'm a portrait artist and have been looking for exactly this, to learn how to creature portraiture in 3d in blender! amazing!!!

By Sabri Alperen Goktas on 7/27/2022

I contain very valuable information both in the use of the blender program and in human anatomy. Thank you very much for the education

By David Calderon on 7/4/2022

Corazon Bryant has some of the best character creation courses for Blender I've seen, I haven't finished this one yet but I've been watching the parts I'm most interested in and already got a lot of useful information. It's nice that she really explains everything you need to get things done from start to finish without adding trivial or repetitive information. I'm really glad I found this course and can't wait to follow it and improve my realistic 3d portrait skills with it.
