zspheres and ears

[system]

Hello everyone. I have been using zbrush for not too long, been learning and all that stuff. I’m trying to put out some work, but I’m stuck on the head at the moment. I searched the forums and couldnt find anything to help me.

Specifically, I’m making an anthro character, and I want to put short dog ears on it, as well as a slight extension to the jaw to give it a canine look. I’ve been using zspheres. I got the base of everything I wanted, but as I delve into the ears and face structure, I’ve gotten stuck.

So, should I be using zspheres for this task? Or would just modeling it with the other brushes be more effective? Any tips or help are much appreciated, and thank you in advance!

Zspheres aren’t for the end result. They are more for getting you some geometry to work with. You then take that base and sculpt up to what you’d like to have. After that you mostly have to retopo the object to get the most out of the mesh that you’re sculpting on. This doesn’t answer your question out right but it should give you a little more to work with.
