Fast Way to Sculpt Hair in Zbrush - No Plugins, Only Default Brushes

This short tutorial will teach you how to sculpt easy 3D hair and fur in Zbrush using only default tools. This technique is perfect for speed sculpts, sculpt-offs, portfolio pieces, and more. Beginner and Intermediate friendly.

We will be using default curve brushes, editing them to create a nice hair-like silhouette, applying them in layers to create the hair, breaking them up to get a more natural look, and then detailing!
I believe this method can be easily adjusted to work extremely well to work with 3D printing.

Hope you enjoyed this video! What other quick sculpting tips would you like to see from me?

As a suggestion from having used this video as a tutorial, when mentioning the part about completing the curve (where you click off of it to make it uneditable), would have been a good idea to mention that you have to click on the background mesh, not just "off" because by default, that means "on the background" like with mask brushes or anything else. I'd spent a full hour of trying to figure out why it wasn't working and searching for fixes online before I gave up, just tried working with it being unable to finish a strand. And then by accident I clicked on the base mesh and it did the thing. It might seem really simple, but that was a lot of pain for something so simple. "Click on the base mesh" not just "click off"
