Bro I am a beginner and I don't know that my question make any sense to you or not but want to know Why don't we just use blender sculpturing tool to create this model ?
Man, when i learnt first making a simple character like this on youtube. It involved a lot of sculpting, the Retopology etc. Was hell of work. Thanks for this!

@@xHazzatomic Bevel, which is Ctrl+B, then pull the mouse until you get the correct shape, using the wheel to increase the amount of segments. This tutorial absolutely assumes a good comfort level with Blender already.
Great tutorial. Since I'm still quite bad at this, I shaped the ears like a goblin and decided to make my character more like one so that my imperfections would still fit in 😆
I enjoyed this tutorial, but if I'm honest I found it very frustrating as I got further in. The pace ramps up considerably as it continues and it feels like useful adjustments being made aren't mentioned or don't get enough explanation. Those details and adjustments are what really take the mesh from being a faceless head to an actual face. For example, the adjustments being made when it came to filling out and closing in the lips feel glossed over/rushed through. I found myself really struggling to get the mouth so come together in a similar manner. I kept having to repeat 3 or 4 seconds just to get a good idea of how I should be moving or scaling something.
im so glad that im found this channel (im bout to sleep tho). I already subscribes when i watch ep 1.... thank you for uploading this video and add ENG subtitle. really appreciate it
It is excellent but definitely not for complete beginners. There are a lot of information not explained about how, why and results. If you have been watching other tutorials you might be ok but if you don't you will probably be lost. He knows a lot and because of that it seems to me he ignores what could be a good idea to explain better because it is natural to him. His basic course is also great. Very detailed. But here I feel something is missing. Maybe it is just me. However, definitely exceptional content to be available for free.
enable extra mesh objects in the user preferences, there is a option add rounded cube, in that there is a preset quadrasphere. This make it more easy to create head
im really getting stuck at the part where you try to make the nostrils be circle 8:30. when i click the circle in loop tools, it becomes a weird shape. pls help
Hello) Thanks for the great course! Great job really! I would like to see more videos on how to create exactly the head of a character) it would be cool to see in one video the process of creating characters of different characters, their heads more precisely) I have now completed the creation of shoes) very cool!))) thanks !!!!

Can anyone help, I'm stuck at 15:45. The extrusions (if that is correct) I do for a the depth in the ears isn't working as well, its still sharp despite the sub-division modifier enabled. Have I missed something after you did the inset? Was there a command you did which isn't mentioned?
Im having trouble with 14:52, whenever I add grit fill it turns out to be rounded instead of just filling the circular face. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for thee awesome tutorial! Learning a lot on my first try to create a character. btw is there a problem if the vertices get hidden inside the skull? every time I modify the shape a few of them get hidden and on yours it looks very clean on top of the head.
for beginner but you forgot to turn on Key-recording screen for the ease of learning, I got stuck for 15mins for just how to adjust the proportional editing circle size :/

Hi, I am learning alot from you. I have seen preview of your course where you use 'bsurface addon' but I think 4.0 is not supporting it😢. Would you give me a solution for this. Thanks
I am currently trying to model dumbeldore head in blender. I have used two different shapes for the face and the beard but now I want to curve the beard around his chin. How can I do it? Which modifier can I use or can I use snap only? Please tell
Try shrinkwrap modifier with predefined vertex group to restrict influence of the modifier on selected vertices. Assign it on beard mesh and use head mesh as a target for modifier. Before using shrinkwrap it would be great to fit the beard mesh closer to the head using simple deform or lattice modifiers. Just to define overall shape before precise fitting.
