Course Overview
Learn the advanced techniques in sculpting a complex 3d monster bust using ZBrush
In this course we jump into the worlds of ZBrush dynamesh sculpting and H.P. Lovecraft at the same time! We tackle the Old God, Cthulhu, by starting with a simple dynamesh sphere and using several techniques, we pull and push and sculpt a basic shape for Cthulhu's head and make a quick torso and temporary tentacles. We then expand our repertoire in creating more detail sculpting by using a variety of brushes, alphas, layers and some finesse to get a final fantastic sculpt of one of Lovecraft's faves: Cthulhu!

The instructor is extremely clear and well paced. He is far better than most tutorial instructors. He remembers to tell us what he's actually doing and explains why. I am experienced at zbrush, but need this kind of detail to learn new techniques.

I think it was a good match for me....I have some basic Z brush knowledge and so I can follow along, but what i like is he takes the time to cover the basics still like how to do a mask.....so I do not have to keep going and looking things up....so far so good
