I’m new to this forum and I’m also kinda new to Blender. I knew about this program for a while now but I only started out with it two weeks ago.
So a total noob like me should probably start with teacups or something like that xD but that was too boring for me so I started to model a character! The character is from an Anime called Rozen Maiden. She’s a porcelain doll and her name is Barasuishou. Here’s a picture so you know what I’m talking about.
The first attempt was a complete fail. xD I started with the head because it had been the easiest thing for me to do at that moment.
Oh I should add that I watched multiple character modelling tutorials along the way.
Yeah I know…It’s an abomination. shivers I couldn’t fix it so I started anew. That’s where I’m now. I’m kind of struggling with it. xD I can’t even really explain my problems…
Looks decent. The joints looked really weird at first, then I reread that your said the character is a doll, lol. Could you post a wireframe? Also I really like the anime style eyes. I could never get the eyeballs to fit and animate right, so I use a more realistic style myself, but good luck to you on it.
Have been looking at your model and the sideview of the head is a bit off. I googled a bit around and found a very good reference pic for the model you are making. See http://e-shuushuu.net/images/2007-06-02-57280.gif. Cut this sheet up and use the front and side view as a reference. You can place them on a plane or use them as background in the front and side view. If you need more tips follow the character modelling tutorials from Daniel Kreuter found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlX-wVx-NNU&list=PLvgIVNDU-DxhGiBF31-0o2e6QxI8T3Mxs. If you like 3D anime join the G+ forum “3D Anime”.

I actually am watching the tutorial from Daniel right now. xD
