Sure, I get that deadlines loom but you can’t just throw away the poetry of pores. Keep a hierarchy: do a rough shell, lock in the silhouette, then drill into the highest‑impact creases—those that actually catch light at 800 % zoom. Use reference layers and sculpt only what the camera will actually show, then stash the rest as a backup, and set a timer so you don’t get lost in a thousand tiny bumps. And remember, symmetry is a lie; keep your brushes varied, avoid over‑cleaning the mesh, and treat each tweak like a secret poem you’re willing to reveal only to the closest eye. That way you get the feeling alive while still finishing on time.
