We’ll sculpt a grotesque screaming man with Zbrush, working with a demo head as our base mesh. This tutorial is meant for complete beginners, and we’ll keep the approach simple so we can hopefully demystify the program some. We’ll cover: setting up visual references, masking, moving, scaling, polygroups, subtools, dynamesh, my favorite sculpting brushes, and a basic way of exporting a model.
