Blender Sculpting Tutorial for Absolute Beginners

This Blender sculpting tutorial is for absolute beginners. We will cover the basics of the Blender sculpting workspace, sculpting brushes and sculpting settings. We will also touch on sculpting with a drawing tablet, setting up a base mesh for sculpting and masking.

How to sculpt in Blender? We sculpt using the sculpting workspace which gives us all of the default sculpting tools we need in Blender. We have the sculpting brushes the left of the 3D viewport, the brush settings on the top of the screen and more brush settings in the tool properties panel on the right.

We can only sculpt with the geometry we have so we will look at using Dyntopo and then the remesh function. We will also cover using symmetry in our sculpting workflow and how to symmetrize a mesh after we've edited part of it. If you're new to sculpting in Blender, this tutorial should be a good place to start.

Thank you so much for covering this! Sculpting is one area I don't know a lot about, so I really appreciate you doing a basic tutorial on.

Awesome video, Brandon!

I hope you and your loved ones have a great week! 😃

[aleksvitek]

You deserve a medal, this video was super useful and concise.

Finally, I found someone who explained the sculpt tool by group color, many videos explain detail one by one, but blender not will group tools by color without the reason, Thank You, sir Brandon's

[Yorkieborkie]

This is a phenomenal video. I've been trying to get back into sculpting for years but every video I found didn't cover exactly what I was looking for in a clear and concise manner like you have done. Thank you so much <3

[peterdavies]

This was great to watch and re-watch!! You mention short-cuts and options not covered in other sculpting videos. Straight down to business!! Thanks!

[andrewallan]

Thank you Brandon. I clicked through a few videos which were too shouty and annoying before finding yours. Perfect, just what I needed.

[barakamunene]

Just started my blender journey (just finishing up my donut haha) and this is the sculpting video I had no idea I needed but could not have been more timely! Earned a sub my guy!

[ginho]

Thank you for explaining very clearly.

[abigailparnell]

This is awesome! I’m trying to sculpt my own figures to 3D print so this is really useful!

[JonToons]

Cool I wish I can do it like that too.

[listenhere]

wowow sooo usefull you the most awesome💕💞💕💓💞

[emryspaperart]

i'm looking to learn how to use blender to create character meshes to use as references (i started with tinkercad cos honestly i just need to be able to paint my design on it and the mesh doesnt need to be super fancy, but transferrin it to procreate was a mess to say the least lmao) and honestly i've been pretty overwhlemed, but this video really made it feel like this is smth i can actually do. thank u so much!!

box trim doesn't work with Dynotopo on and in general is very slow and almost crushes blender. Fill brush is also way slower than lots of other brushes that would normally do more complex jobs. Almost unusable. For beginners I think is worth pointing out some important limitations of the sculpting system in Blender.

[orphydiancg]

keeping the subd modifier on and not applying it will work with the sculpting tools? Do brushes work on top of it?

[RaadMambles]

you need to make your blender shortcuts into some kind of pdf or something so we can download it, thatd be nice. its some work copying it from your site to a doc

[biocronic]

missing basics for beginners . ABSOLUTE :D so poor

[elliejohnson]

I came here for a tutorial that would at least briefly go over texture brushes, and not only do you do the whole song and dance of "You must have a tablet!", but you also intentionally skipped textures.

Probably a great tutorial for beginners, albeit the recommendation for tablets as a "must" for BEGINNER sculptors is tiring to hear, but not what I'm looking for sadly :(

[lonesomealeks]

yet another tutorial for "Absolute beginners" for blender... It seems to me that every failed blender 3D artists starts making tutorials for beginners. does nobody see the irony..

I wanted to make a 20th Century fox animation with the "Your Fatherless" text, I watched a few tutorials but blender used too much of my pc, it used 100% of the CPU, 60% of the disk, 98% Memory %10 of the disk
So I Uninstalled the program
