Question on adding colors/textures

Hey guys! I recently started using Zbrush and had a quick questions that you guys can hopefully answer.
Once you are done sculpting your sculpture it is in the clay form (the red color). How can I start adding colors and textures on it? What I want to get is for it to seem realistic. If it’s a leather jacket or a plate armor, etc… how do I add the textures to make it seem that material?

Thank you!

There are a few ways to do this. However, If you are planning to use the model outside of Zbrush, you will want to first uvmap it. Most importantly: Don’t be afraid of the forum’s Search function!! It loves you, and together you will create many happy children together. lol. Seriously though, try something like “polypainting” in the search box. Alternately, you could probably do a search on youtube and find some really good ones as well. Good luck.
