Hey! I am making my first robot head and since the ones that everyone else got look so complicated, I will attempt to do the head of Clu (Evil guy in Tron Legacy)



Can anyone (skilled in art) suggest where I should start? Then I will start posting WIPs and whatnot until it's finished. After it is finished you guys can suggest how much I sell it for and if I should make a set to match it (Which would be easier than this)

try making the head first... its the hardest part. After that go on with the hands and legs.

in this case the background is very important.
start with a light black or grey and try to add some shadings and details. only dark wouldn't look that nice in this case ;)

Create first layer by adding light black/black background.
Then aadd another layer and add some details,then another layer eith shadings and so on

You need those layers,so you could easy recolor or edit that head.

So your saying that first, I make a background with black/dark grey gradient.
Which style of gradient do I use? e.g: Linear, Radial ect..

Well to do that you must learn how the texture wraps the Shape.



ALWAYS Use this template.
It is a big help!
Each circle equals into a perfect circle, so be careful.

Okay thanks.

But now I'm confused on the details of the helmet...those black lines with shading.

Do I use brush for them?
