Starting Again - Topology Template

The lines were very easy to draw the second time because I knew how they needed to look at the end. I followed many tutorials and made sure that the lines were prefect yet minimal. I started by drawing the blue lines but this time i zoomed into the picture really far in Photoshop to make sure that the lines were straight. I also found out that you can easily get a straight line in Photoshop by simply holding the ctrl button down. This came in very useful for making the lines look neater and easier to see.














After drawing all the lines, my simpler template looked like the picture below. Drawing the lines for the second time was a lot easier to do because I knew how the end result should look and where the lines should be.














The picture below shows the finished template.
















The two pictures below show the different between my first set of lines and the second lines after I started again. There is a significant different between the two pictures. The first picture has way too many lines and looks very complecated. The first picture also has many mistakes and looks confusing because the lines arnt very straight. This could have caused problems wen making the editable poly because each square has to made individually and now using the second picture I can easily see where the squares can go and it wont take me long to draw each one individually. The first picture also looks very distorted and looks like I've used the lens correction tool too much because my cheeks look very big and distorted. Whereas the second picture looks more like my face.
