Hey Cesar!
Just come off line from your live webinar.
You just blew my mind man!
I dunno if you could see the comments, but there were so many people there, 20 to 40 years old. ALL of them suddenly realised they are not as old as they first thought, me included! It’s never too late to start over and work cleaver.
I realised too that the thumbnail method you showed could be used for refining an idea before I take my pencil to paper.
Honestly I got so many notes here and your life lessons, yet again, made me think you are watching over my shoulder.
Thank you for both the Zbrush techniques and the life lessons! Really mate!
Mark
Cesar,
Thanks for the free webinar!
As Mark just mentioned it was really an eye opener for me in many regards…
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here with these free videos you’ve put out recently… As artists we all have our own insecurities. Instead of tip toeing around this, you’ve made it a point to seek this human flaw out and make it known! Insecurities can manifest into many forms, my personal battle is with procrastination as I’m sure many on here can relate. I’m now more aware of this than I have ever been.
I think what you are really doing here is simply giving us new tools. Whether they be mental tools, or zbrush workflows, these are tools. For that I thank you!! After all it’s the tools we posses that separate us from the rest of the beasts.
It was also refreshing to see people logging into your talk from all corners of the world and from a wide range of ages! The zbrush user base is simply exploding, and after seeing your thumbnail techniques today, it’s clear just how dominant this ever evolving piece of software really is!
Again thanks for sharing and I’m very much considering taking your course after today.
One last thing.
You seem to have a great “Just do it” attitude, any advice for someone that has trouble turning the art side off?
I find myself sculpting in my head while I’m trying to go to sleep for the night.
This happens a lot, and while this isn’t terrible it sure has led to some restless nights.
Just wondering how you separate your “work” time from “personal” time, or if yours bleeds over as much as mine does?
Take care man!

Hi Mark.
I was not seeing the comments.
It’s really cool knowing that people were responding enthusiastically to
the method. I truly appreciate you taking the time to drop in and express
your feelings.
Hi Jerod.
I have that feeling every single day I work with ZBrush.
There’s not a day that goes by where I do not have my insecurities, the point is to understand… that is human.
The important part is how do to deal with that insecurity so that you feel confused and frustrated you can use that
to your advantage.
As for turning off the artist mind.
It’s all about balance… learning to keep sane is just as important!
it comes down to priorities, it will take time to train your brain to focus on other things.
I suggest literally telling yourself out loud, (KNOW IT SOUNDS STRANGE).
It’s now time for __________ insert your topic.
Force yourself to have other interests, occupy your bran with something else.
Over time you will begin to have control of what is important at any given moment.
I hope that helps.
Here’s the recap video from today’s Webinar.

hey Cesar is there a syllabus out for your class? i emailed the visualarium but they haven’t replied.
if you ever decided to start hosting classes on your own (without visualarium/ryan) I’ll definitely sign up.
Hi Pabgo,
Let me look into this.
Cesar Dacol Jr.
Hey Cesar I noticed it’s somewhat hard to find your class registration page on visualarium. managed to find it through the preview webinar link (if anyone else was looking for it?). Best of luck
I have been teaching for over 10 years.
It has been an incredible ride. Extremely fulling.
Time for me to strike out on my own. Come and help me make my dream come true as I take a scary step into the unknown.

Hi Everyone.
A few weeks ago I sat down and recorded a lesson for Stan Winston School of character arts.
I’m very proud of the fact that I am their first ZBrush lesson.
It was an immense honor to be invited, Stan was a huge influence on my career and it was a pleasure
to some how give a little bit back.
They have launched it here;
Check it out.

Cesar Dacol Jr.
It has been a month long epic getting the site up and running.
Excuse the construction dust as we roll out more features over the next month.

Looks great, good luck man. Might take a course there in the future 
Just watched that thumbnail video(visualarium) and myself from a year in the future appeared and told me to thank you for changing my life and my mind set! You have a style of teaching that i WISH more people did, teaching ways of thought is equally as important as techinical stuff and I couldnt be more impressed with the gems you were dropping about life. Your awesome thank you soooooo much!!!
