Different Mouth I Practiced

 

WEEK 4

Features: Ear

Anatomy of Ear

• Helix
• Antihellk
• Superior crus
• Inferior crus
• Triangular fossa
• Tragus
• Antitragus
• Lobe
• Scaphoid fossa

Attached vs free hanging lobes

 

Cauliflower ear is a condition that occurs when the external portion of the ear suffers a blow. Fluid collects under the perichondrium(the connective tissue that surrounds cartilage and helps with growth and repair).

This separates the cartilage from the perichondrium that supplies its nutrients, causing it to die and resulting in the formation of fibrous tissue in the overlying skin.

As a result, the outer ear becomes permanently swollen and deformed, resembling a cauliflower.

• By holding ‘Ctrl’, ‘MASK’ will activate, select area u want to sculpt.
• Then press Ctrl and it would invert the Mask.

   

• Now Scale it out using ‘MOVE‘(B D S ) and press Ctrl to remove Mask and then hold Ctrl and click and drag it & it will increase the resolutions. Use Move to give perfect shape.

• Use ‘DamStandard‘ Brush to make Helix, Notch, Tragus and more.
• Then use ‘Trim Rect‘ to trim the sphere and then press ‘Ctrl + Shift‘ and drag the cursor to part wanna cut out.
