A complete 10-week course on character sculpting with ZBrush. It consists of 20 live classes (two per week: one content lesson and one review session with feedback), totalling 40 hours. We cover the entire process: from the ZBrush interface and initial blockout, through anatomy, portrait, hair, hands and feet, clothing and hard surface, all the way to 3D print preparation and the final KeyShot render with Photoshop post-production. That is 10 weeks of classes plus 2 extra weeks to finish your project and present it with feedback. Limited to 12 students, with live classes recorded and personalized feedback throughout.
