The course will start with an overview of the primary forms and fur flow of an animal, and then move on to blocking out the shapes using primitives and basic brushes.

You'll explore how to refine proportions and avoid common mistakes in digital sculpting when sculpting animals.

In addition, you'll learn how to use the geometry of your model to plan directional fur, create custom alpha brushes to create the hair, and use layers to refine the sculpt. You'll also learn how to create Morph Targets to blend layers, create brush modifiers to help with your custom alpha applications, and create VDM brushes for curly hair.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of the tools and techniques used in digital sculpting for animal pet portrait in ZBrush.
