Our Sculpting Toolkit ■ 7
7. Now we should have a fairly good approximation of the face. We should have clear
planes, but the separation of planes may not be very precise. All in all, our model
should look like a blurry but planar version of what we want.
To create more precise breaks in the form, we use Trim Adaptive. Click on the side
plane of the nose and use Trim Adaptive to create a consistent plane. With Trim
Adaptive you have to be careful where you start your brush stroke. The brush will
take the orientation of the first place you click and extend that orientation through
your model.
To get the most out of Trim Adaptive, repeat the stroke while pressing Alt, and the
brush will lift areas of the surface as well. Using Trim Adaptive and Trim Dynamic
and experimenting with Trim Front should get your sculpt to the level of Figure 1.8.
8. Masks allow us to isolate one part of the model and keep it safe from our brush.
Press and hold Ctrl and brush on the general shape of the ear. Then choose Tool

Inverse to invert this mask. Using the Move brush, pull out the backs of
the ear and set up the simple planes as shown in Figure 1.9.
