Lumpy Teddy - 1st try

[jpiazzo]

Hi everyone,

 

This is my first attempt at modeling anything like a face. I think I have to many splines, probably all in the wrong place. Things really got away from me when I attached the ears. Can I improve on what I have, or should I start from scratch again. I really learned alot just getting here!

That's a cute Teddybear and well done. That's really pretty good for a first attempt. You could lose alot of splines in there but get some practice in and do a bit of tweeking of bias handles to smooth out some of the more extreme lumps.

 

Keep it up.

I'd say it's a great start! Keep up the good work!

I like the basic shape you're going for. Just get rid of any splines that seem even a LITTLE bit redundant, and it will clean it up a lot, and get rid of the rumpliness of the face.

Thanks for the encouragement! My original face mask, eyes and face were alot lighter in splines. Then I added the mouth - OK, the mouth area needs detail.

Then I tried to turn the face into a nice round head - OH BOY!

 

Then I modeled the ears and attached them...thats when things got messy.

 

I am really glad you all like the overall look though - I was going for cute and sympathetic - the poor bear, after all, he spent most of his life, in my story, wired to the front grill of a garbage truck as a hood ornament!
