Axe tutorial - Zbrush

I started by creating a 3d cube and using the move brush to pull out the points creating the general shape of the axe head.

I then started to use some brushes to smooth it out and use the masking tool to engrave the side.whilst using the move tool to move the
sharper edges out.

I made a cylinder in the middle of the axe head where the handle attaches. Then another cylinder for the handle. i then used the move brush again to make it a curved shape.








I used the mask brush to create the grip of the handle and then using the Dam standard brush i started adding wear and tear to the axe head and handle including the wrapped material look to the grip.

This is the first time ive used the program Zbrush
so i was a total rookie when starting this task. It was a great tutorial teaching me the basics and i actually enjoyed using it. It helped me alot when i came to create my prop task.

Iron woman

This is the initial drawing I did inone of the sessions using pencil.it was only a short timed
drawing i think only a minute or two so its just the basic outlines.

I then brought the image into photoshop and drew over it.

When i read the brief for the task i instantly thought of iron man as i love marvel
and hes my favorite character,. i also thought it'd be interesting to put the suite on a
female which is why i chose this original drawing. I started to add the outlines of the suit.

I started to block out the colours of the suit.

Then painted the skin, face and added details like highlights and lines to the armour

Added hair to the head
