Description Hope I didnt mislead you with the title, lol
This is something I threw together whilst learning the ins and outs of zBrush - awesome bit of software, once u get the hang of it. You start with a base head, which really isnt anything much to look at, then you sculpt away. The software recreates the way you would sculpt using clay, i.e. pushing in, pulling out, etc. It's a work in progress, I havent done much with the ears yet.

Anyway, to challenge my artistically challenged brain I was thinking of attempting to sculpt someone famous. Any suggestions on who to do?

I'd say start with any likeness, then get into the complex stuff. Doing a face is the easy bit. Analysing the difference between Antonio Banderas and Johnny Vaughn - that's tricky! If you really want a challenge find two people who really look alike and get it to a point where people can tell which one's which. If you need inspiration try Private Eye's Lookalike section. It comes down to the subtle differences at the corners of the mouth, the angles of the brow, the proportions of the face, the corners of the eyes etc. Just doing a face that's similar to your subject isn't what separates the men from the boys! That said, that's a great first attempt...

I was thinking of today's Jack - [link]

but there are plenty of other good ideas, a wrinkled ape/monkey face?

Oh Jack Nicholson would be great! He's got a really pointy face

It would be great if you could do Tom Waits, his face is a veritable feast of cracks and crevices!

Sounds like a really cool bit of software. I like the sound of a sculpting type doobery. Can't wait to see how you will progress cos this guy is lookin' sweet already. The slight smirk suggests deviousness to me XD
