How do you get good at Zbrush?
polycounter lvl 5
Hi all.
I've tried following paid training on digitaltutors, the introductions were way too big and the character made was heavily dissapointing for the time spent on the course... so I moved on to Zbrush central and learned the basics of UI and zbrush tools... now I try to follow intermediate to advanced tutorials on interesting character development and I suck at it. I mean I understand what's being made in the tutorial, I use the same tools but my sculpting skills are just so sloopy I can't do anything smooth and symmetrical. I would look into Gnomon Workshops, because the final product from the tutorial you make is much more eye catching, but the tuts over there are more for artists who already know their stuff. It's more like speed up walkthroughs...
Can anyone recommend any tutorial that is informative for beginners and where you can actually make something cool at the end of the tutorial? I don't feel like making worms and creatures like that, even if for learning.
Perhaps I'm being a bit narrowminded and for learning I have to go through these steps, but I'm just overloaded with college work and study sessions to learn such intense software like zbrush with tutorials of so many hours...
Heh, sorry for the long post!

Just got to dive in and sculpt as much as you can!
You could try and do a few 1hr speed sculpts a day to train yourself to quickly define important features that defines a character, pick one and spend one day to refine it, practicing your detail sculpting, then rinse n repeat.
Probably not the post you were hoping for but hey..
