Apologies for the slightly overexposed intro. My mic was dead on the morning of recording and I had to default to my iPhone.
Watch as I bring a chill little capybara to life. I start with a 2D reference image and break it down into simple shapes. It's a great way to get started in sculpting. Do you use a similar method? Let me know in the comments!

I am absolutely in love with my capybara from you! You did such a good job capturing their body shape, and the face is so peaceful. Really wonderful to see the process!

I love the shape blocking you did that’s brilliant! I want to try that as I struggle with pulling shapes from forms. The different layers of fur makes such a big difference I love these peaceful guys!

It's helped me SO much! I first started doing shape breakdowns when I had to sculpt Toothless for the first time. His body shape is so confusing to sculpt. I think you will notice a huge difference just by simplifying.

It's fascinating to see the difference with your usual process, without the internal armour. Those little creatures look like the very picture of calm 😀

We could all learn from the capybara haha! I am glad you enjoyed the process. I change things up depending on what my subject matter is. The goal is to always make things easier on myself!
