Hi Andrew, Finally found time to make my final project. Lots to improve but I prefer to start a new project 😉. Please advise where I can do it better. Thanks. What is the next step for me? I’d like to improve my portrait skills. Thanks for your advise.
LESSON NOTES

We’ll cover various aspects of the portrait sculpting process from building an armature to capturing the likeness from different angles, and finalizing the sculpture’s details and texture. Consistent practice is important here, and it’s a good idea to modify some of these steps to fit your own workflow.

Nicely done it's really coming to life! I like the shadows from the lower view looking up at the sculpture. Now I would start using a tool to soften the transition between the forms and remember to try to texture across the form and in different directions rather than along the form in the same direction. Keep up the great work!
