Making The Thing: The Step Most People Skip

Alright! In this first video of the series (1 of 5), I’m starting the sculpt of The Thing with a super simple blockout. It’s all about getting the main volumes and proportions right using basic shapes… nothing fancy, but it really sets the foundation for everything that comes next. If the blockout is solid, the rest of the process is way easier (and more fun). Hope you dig it!

Let me know if you’re following along or just watching for fun… either way, cheers for being here!
