Cowgirl sculpt is back ;)

I had a little time to work on this again, updated her anatomy/face, and hair. Hopefully I can take this to another level with more work.

Planes of the Head-Zbrush sculpt test

 Tonight I had some free time, so I watched some amazing traditional sculpting videos on youtube. The techniques I could most relate to were being shown by Philippe Faraut...truly amazing. So in the interest of applying traditional techniques to a CG sculpt, I sketched this out following 1 of Phillipe's videos and did a little experiment with planar analysis based on a casting he sells on his website.
