If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to sculpt, Introduction to Sculpting will give you the tools you need to become a great artist. With over 14 hours of high-quality training, you will be introduced to concepts that will transform your art.

FROM SIMPLE TO ADVANCED

We’ll start right at the beginning with very simple topics like what tools we use, basic sculpting techniques – to more intermediate and advanced topics like sculpting wrinkles, sculpting pores, gesture and appeal, sculpting hair, mid-frequency and stretching & compression.

SCULPTING A DWARF

In the practical part of this tutorial, we will put our knowledge to the test and sculpt a professional level dwarf starting from a sphere in ZBrush. With 5 hours of real-time sculpting, we’re going through every step from start to finish. By the end of Introduction to Sculpting, you’ll have a firm grasp of how to sculpt anything you desire, using the right tools.
