ZBrush: COMPLETE BEGINNERS GUIDE part 1

Hey everyone! Welcome to the first part in this Beginners series! In this Part (1) We will deal with setting up the UI and getting you started with the basics of sculpting in ZBrush. After that We will start to blockout the slave's head with our newfound knowledge! We will then continue to block out the rest of the model with breaks in between for homework and recaps on the concepts covered... Yes this course has homework, so be sure to get that done if you really want the concepts to stick!

I cant wait to see you there!

If anyone is having issues with Local Symmetry, in the 2023 version they have "dynamic" Local Symmetry. On the button you'll see "dynamic" highlighted in white at the top.... this is actually a button within a button, if you click the word "dynamic" it will deactivate it and you'll be able to lengthen the models limbs correctly :D
