I have been ZBrushing for nearly one year now and decided to post some WIPs. I’m still having a hard time trying to keep up and read the constant flow of great advice and artwork that this community is bringing forward (already spent countless hours in the ZBrush archives). So, a big thanks to the ZBrush community!
Anyway, I followed the advice of studying traditional sculpts on a regular basis to improve skills. I copied a sculpt of a Dante bust. After finishing the copy, I removed hat and clothes to further study the anatomy. The third set of images show where I am now: studying the muscles of the head and underlying skeleton. I will eventually use this set of sculpts to exercise my polypaint and retopo.
I mostly used the standard, smooth, clay tubes and rasp (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/sho...=ryankingslien) brushes. It’s been only a few weeks since I got my Wacom: these images where totally done using my laptop’s touchpad. I wish I’d gotten the Wacom sooner … .
Moni-Poroni: well, who knows: “The Incredible Adventures of Dante; Dante in Hell”… maybe in a new contest… . Anyways, thank you for the nice comment. .

Small update:
I just did a partial remesh on the muscle study: I'm gonna split the sculpt into three parts: Head/ears/neck. This way I'll be able to put in some more detail and hopefully get a clean polypaint. I hate retopo !
