Audrey Hepburn — likeness portrait study.
A ZBrush likeness of Audrey Hepburn I finished in 2016 — a portrait study built around facial anatomy and reading the face correctly from more than one angle. Hero, profile, front and close-up passes are in the gallery.

Reading the face
Likeness work depends on getting proportion, bone structure and the relationships between features right simultaneously. The study holds from the front and in profile — where weak likeness sculpts usually give themselves away.
Restraint in the lighting
I kept the lighting neutral so the form reads without atmospheric distraction. Close observation matters more here than render drama — the subject should carry the piece, not the presentation.
Surface at close range
The close-up facial pass shows surface quality at the distance a production review would inspect — pore read, eyelid structure, the subtle asymmetries that make a likeness feel observed rather than generic.
