What I was thinking is that we could share a space for our “Bad” models, or “learning” models, because I am sure we can all relate. I am pretty good at sculpting with the Clay buildup brush. But I had never tried to do a sculpt with the move tool… big lesson. Fun. So much to learn. Anyway, I hope some of our best artist as well as beginners to soft modeling, like me, will share some not so perfect sculpts. We can all laugh together. Thanks

Yes, I did the shark boy tutorial. I was laughing at myself and that’s why I started this page. We should all laugh together… at me.

I feel better about my attempted at this tutorial. But… It is going to take a long time to learn how to sculpt with expression. And I know that form when I started drawing in my youth. I will get there with practice. The great news is, buy trying to make her hair, I learned how to make dripping ice cream. Brown, dripping ice cream. Thanks Steve James for the lesson. I am so stoked to be a part of this community. !

These are all looking really good! I can tell you have the foundations to move you forward. I also drew as a kid. Those fundamentals really carried through to ZBrush - especially the: drawing (perspective helps a lot, painting + anatomy knowledge really go a long way. Also, if you ever want to sculpt along with some of our streamers, you can ask them questions and see how they approach some of these concepts you’re learning.
Leaving this here in case you would like more resources:
- zbrushlive.com (the live streams)
- zclassroom.com (more free tutorials from us; Pixologic)
Keep goin at it!

Thanks for all your help. I stayed awake again all last night again to work on this. Just like in the olden days when I would paint all night in LA. I am learning so fast right now. I want to put a Navajo blanket pattern
on the papoose. So, I guess I need to learn Texture mapping… Right?
