This sculpt was made to let me focus on facial expressions in ZBrush. I wanted to get the feeling of an old cowboy that had been knocked off of a horse one too many times and it was starting to show. The facial hair presented a tricky problem because it had to feel like hair, but still feel like a sculpted bust. To solve this problem, I focused on the large forms first and found interesting shapes that felt true to the character I was working towards, I then created layers so I could easily discard any work in case I started to regress in the design. After the layers were established, I slowly worked in the medium and smaller shapes to allow the hair to organically emerge and to keep myself from getting too detailed too fast. In the end, it turned out how I wanted and it let me grow in an area I was a little less familiar with.
