This training note provides an example of modelling in artistic CAD.  Specifically, it shows the procedure of constructive modelling.   This example is based on an online tutorial: http://www.blender-models.com/articles-tutorials/modeling/a-better-face-tutorial/

Procedure:

Figure 1

• A reference image is loaded onto the viewport for tracing.  See Figure 1- Tracing the reference image.

• The reference image is traced into 3D lines.  See Fig 2- Creating faces from the lines

Figure 2

• The lines have faces created between their vertices. See Figure 3: Details are added simply by being meticulous

Figure 4

Figure 3

• Details are done by subdividing and adjusting- see Fig 4 for the final model.
