Theory
ππ οΈ 20. Creating a Panda
Welcome, young creator! Are you excited to dive into a fun and creative project? Today, we’re going to sculpt a digital panda. This guide will take you through each step to bring your adorable panda to life. Let’s start this joyful journey!
Starting with Spheres
- π Begin with two spheres: a large one for the body and a smaller one for the head. Position the smaller sphere atop the larger one to form the basic shape of your panda.
Aligning the Spheres
- π Use the mirror line to ensure the spheres are perfectly aligned. Check from the front and top views to verify everything is correctly positioned.
- Creating the Face
- π Shape the panda’s face using the drag tool, adjusting the radius to drag the face downwards slightly. Decide between dragging to create the eyes or using two small spheres for a more defined look.
- Adding Ears and Nose
- ππ Sculpt the ears by dragging and pushing them slightly inside the head. Use the crease tool for the ears’ shape and the brush tool to create a triangular nose.
- Smiling Panda
- π Give your panda a cheerful smile with the crease tool, ensuring it looks friendly and not like a joker.
- Panda’s Legs
- πΎ opt for spheres or cylinders for the legs, placing them at the body’s base. Duplicate one leg to easily create the other.
- Adding Arms
- πͺ Use circles or cylinders for the arms, adjusting their size and positioning them on the body’s sides. Copy one arm to complete the other side.
- Final Touches
- β¨ Adjust the arms and legs with the drag tool. Use the smoothing tool for any odd-looking parts and don’t hesitate to delete and redo if necessary.
- Painting Your Panda
- π¨ Unleash your creativity and paint your panda any colour you wishβblue, black, white, or any hue that sparks joy. Don’t forget to paint the eyes and add any desired designs.
- Adding Accessories
- π Add a unique touch with accessories like a Taurus ring around the neck, adjusting its size and angle for a perfect fit.
- Final Check
- π Review your panda from all angles, making last-minute adjustments to ensure everything is just right.
