I've got some more free time, so I decided to check your older content this time, and you did it again! You left me speechless with the amount of knowledge you pass to the viewers in your videos.
I was always wondering why my characters seem to have crossed eyes, and the angle Kappa seems to be an answer for that. I would never think that the rotation of the eyes outside is actually something that happens in nature. A great tip here.
But it's not just this one thing. Using anthropometric data for validating proportions of the head is such a simple idea and yet never tried it as I did not know that the transpose line has actually a 'hidden' measuring feature.
I guess, I also need to mention the amazing trick with low res mesh used for a scalp when using fiber mesh. This automatically created polygroups and the amount of control you gain thanks to them is just unbelievable. Of course, there were tons of other useful tips but I don't want to make this (already quite long) comment any longer.
I just wanted to say thank you, for all the content you share with us. It's easily one of the greatest content on YT. Thank you, Laura!

when you sculpt facial likeness have you ever use photomatching technique to sort of line up the sculpt with the reference?
or you just sort of eyeball it for the most part?

This is supercool. How long time you learn to make this one? So realistic. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up 🔥🔥🔥

Is it safe to think that movies and especially tv shows will generally use one focal length through out filming?

I admire the shape of Mads Mikkelsen's skull.
