Finding it hard to sculpt your characters in blender?

Here's what most persons do when they try to sculpt a character

They add in a sphere

Remesh the sphere

Select the grab brush

Start to pull out the different body parts out of the single sphere they added

Did you see the problem there??

Okay hold on,

Let's use another example that might give you a clearer picture of this diabolical situation.

Let's say you decided to write a book

You get out your pen

And you start writing sentences

And you just keep writing

You never thought to outline the story

But you just keep writing sentences in hopes that the book turns out fine.

Now do you see the problem?

You're trying to sculpt without having a solid foundation i.e a blockout to work from

And that's why sculpting is so hard for most

I'll tell you my super secret sculpting cheat code

It's called using a blockout!!

Using a blockout for sculpting is your sculpting cheat code!

For any thing you want to sculpt, block it out!

Even if it's hair!

Yes hair! block it out!

For your own sanity, just block it out

Especially if you're new to sculpting

You'll have a much easier time blocking out your sculpts before diving into finer details

But I know exactly what you are thinking right now (*probably)

"I've seen SpeedChar sculpt directly from a sphere in his live streams"

Not saying you can't sculpt from a single sphere

But if you've ever seen anyone doing it that way

It's because they have mastered the forms and foundations of what they are trying to sculpt

So it just feels effortless when they do it

"So how exactly should I blockout?" is the next question

The simplest answer I'll give you in order not to complicated this

Is to observe your reference and break it up into bigger shapes

Then you go keep on sculpting over those bigger shapes till you have a nice sculpt!

That's it! Thats how blocking out works!

And once again if you don't use references while sculpting... Stop It, Get Some Help :)

Alright enough rambling,

Hope this helps!
