In this video I will be going over what topology is in the context of 3d modeling and cover particularly how to structure organic models such as a face. It is a very fundamental skills that I believe all 3d artists should have a solid understanding of. So I hope that there is something to be gained for you in this video. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments! Otherwise thanks for watching.

This is the fourth video in my anime character 3d modeling tutorial series!
In this episode we will finally begin the character creation process. In this blocking stage, we will draft our character with simple shapes to get an idea about the proportions and the silhouette. I will also talk about several theories such as simplification, shape language and balance. There is a lot more that could be mentioned, but I hope to have covered the most essential topics.
If you have any additional ideas, make sure to let me know in the comments!

![[The legend of Mr. Arata] Part 1 - Character Modeling in ZBrush](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EQbrLYjwsjw/mqdefault.jpg "[The legend of Mr. Arata] Part 1 - 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 :)
