Description

In this series, we jump into creating textures in ZBrush using polypainting. We'll examine the mesh and review references for the model and then we'll do a small exploration into matcaps and colors. We'll then begin to layer in a foundational skin tone before using the spray brush with an alpha to help create the imperfections usually found in skin. We'll use cavity masking to help us creating some shadowing and then the spray brush again to help give our demon head a five o'clock shadow! We mock up some ideas for eye coloration before finally adding a base color to the horns to contrast with the skin of the demon!
