Hello,
In a few days i will finish the course “ZBrush 3 for Windows Essential Training” from LYNDA.COM (http://www.lynda.com/tutorial/642-True). It’s not a bad course to get a general idea of the program. I am looking into making another course more complete than these.
I have been looking for in the web for other courses of Zbrush (version 3 or 4) like:

  • ESCAPESTUDIOS: (http://www.escapestudios.co.uk/zbrush-for-3d-artists/) Seems a serious course with an average price. As negative point is that perhaps it is too complex for somebody with so little knowledge .
  • GNOMON: (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/product/433/) They have many tutorials. The one from the link is an introduction to the Zbrush.
  • Jason Welsh (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...8FE85B2A969BD3) artist 3D that has posted in youtube sometutorials. In his Web it also possible to them in higher resolution.
  • Meats Meier (http://www.3dartspace.com/index.php?.…=106&Itemid=89) this artist made a course for Gnomon that now offers free from its Web. It seems interesting.
  • FORMACD: (http://www.formacd.com/v2/public/pag...8&dalang=uk,uk). in the Web they indicate that it is a course of 35 hours of duration, reason why I understand that must be quite complete. On the other hand the voice that makes the narration is not human , this is something that i don’t like at all.
    …
    Do you have any recomendation on which course should i do? (of course it can be a different course from the ones indicated)
    I am a beginner and I prefer larger explanations than an quick information.
    Thank you very much for your interest!
    Greetings from Madrid, Spain!!

Hello, and happy new year.

Here’s a great collection, 11 weeks of good zbrush classes.

Also, have you considered taking a look at a book about ZBrush?
I figured since Gnomon came up, you are willing to invest some money into your education, and…
well, can’t go wrong with Scott Spencer’s and Eric Keller’s Books.

I got em myself, and they are truly worth the money.
According to amazon, there’s 2 new titles coming out in late february.
Those will be about ZBrush 4 and up to date.
The others, while a little older and about Zbrush up until 3.5R3, they contain informations and tricks still very much applicable and valuable even with future versions of ZBrush.
Here are the Links on Amazon - the first one is the latest one (which is still on ZBrush3.5R3), but highly recommended. The other 2 are coming out soon.

Hope it helps you out a little.
