If you’re brand new to ZBrush and want a more structured path, I’ve got a beginner-friendly course called Ultimate ZBrush Guide where I walk through the fundamentals step by step, using real projects and practical workflows.
I’ll leave the link if you want to check it out.
https://www.pablander.academy/course/the-ultimate-zbrush-guide
In this next part of the Intro to ZBrush series, we finally jump into some actual sculpting and start working on volumes and surface refinement.
You’ll get familiar with essential sculpting brushes and simple workflows that help you push and adjust forms in a controlled way. We focus on core brushes like Standard, Clay, Inflate, and a few others that you’ll use constantly in almost any sculpt.
The goal here is not detail, but learning how to shape and refine forms cleanly, build confidence with the brushes, and understand how each one affects the surface.
