This is by far the best Zbrush tutorial I’ve seen. Every other one is focused on showing every tool before getting you sculpting.

thanks... watching this back now is easier to comprehend. Trying to work on this real time and listening at the same time is hard!

Z brush: nope and the brush you’re looking for is called Damien.
