This is the fifth video in my anime character 3d modeling tutorial series!
In this episode we will finally begin to sculpt our character in more detail. This Japanese anime style has some very characteristic shapes, and therefore, as we go about sculpting the face, I will be explaining how to approach it best. Furthermore I will also be covering how to layout the hair, and finally we will also sculpt the shoulders to finish the upper part of the body.
I hope that this video is useful to you as always, but if you have any questions, definitely let me know in the comments!

This video is the 23rd part of 40 in this very detailed tutorial series about modeling. Ill take you through all the steps of anime style character creation in the 3d software called Blender and without any time lapse.
If you havent watched it already make sure to go through part 0! In that video Ill show you the final result and tell you all about the modifications I did with my version of Blender. Also youll find the references in the description of that video.
By the way, the character design was made by the creators of Sword Art Online and all credit goes to them. Im using it as an example to teach how to work with real characters as youd find them in any animation.
Thanks for watching!")

![[The legend of Mr. Arata] Part 3 - Character Modeling in ZBrush](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sLRsYedSDZo/mqdefault.jpg "[The legend of Mr. Arata] Part 3 - Character Modeling in ZBrush
In this video, I am using ZBrush to sculpt a character from scratch. In fact, in this series, we will be working on the character named Mr. Arata from beginning to End. If you catch me on the live stream, you can even participate in making design decisions. Mr. Arata is a creation made by contributions from all of you.
At this point, Mr. Arata is a Magician who tries to get dragons under his control. He needs their power to take revenge against the king who is to blame for his wifes death. His wife was a demon... This is how far we got. Cant wait to get your ideas :)
