Blender Sculpting Tutorial for Beginners - Stylized Head Sculpt Blender Tutorial

[@KeelanJon]

Hey hey, just wanted to pop in the comments and give a huge thank you for the amazing response to this video :) And for those wondering, I use a mouse and keyboard for this, so don't be afraid to jump in and give it a go!

[@AnimatorBlender]

Thank you for the affirmation, that you're using a keyboard and mouse; i've always thought someone needs a tablet and stylus!

[@KeelanJon]

@@AnimatorBlender No problem, a tablet is a great tool, but you can still do a lot with just mouse and keyboard and then move onto tablet later 😁

[@paulbaker2663]

Quick note for any newbies out there like me :D. Don't forget to apply your subdivision modifier before selecting sculpt mode other wise it won't add the extra geometry you need to sculpt if you are following along with the tutorial :D I just spent an hour and a half trying to figure out why my entire shape was moving and not the smaller sections lol

[@user-iz3ss5rb3z]

right I forgot omg!

Thank u !!

[@zilingsng]

you were a great help!🤩

[@gsogaming666]

For those who's dying like "why my geometry doesn't move like his" After you open apply the subdivision modifier, you need to click the little arrow next to the X button then choose "apply". Otherwise your shape is recognized as a cube.

@@KeelanJon I know it's a lot but can you teach us how to sculpt a normal human or something like a knight but realistic

[@KeelanJon]

@@Sll-m3e For realism it's generally easier to use character generators/creators as otherwise creating realistic characters takes too long to be practical. There's lots of great tools out there for this such as Meta human characters etc. Hope that helps 😁

I have yet to find a blender sculpting "beginner" tutorial that didn't require a degree to finish, doing this I've been able to follow your instructions and create my own character without feeling i need to follow you exactly or ill miss something, it's been fantastic, thank you!

Finally someone who explains the mirroring in a way that I understand, that does exactly the thing I want. I always knew it existed, but I somehow never found a proper, quick explanation mentioning the modifiers. I probably always searched wrong.

[@A_Thing09]

Why haven't I seen people recommend this tutorial? It exactly what I look for in a tutorial, getting to the topic of the tutorial, and being FUN to listen to and being able to inform me on how to do things.

you are genuinely so underrated your tutorials are the only ones that keep my interest for the whole video, tell me exactly what to do without confusion or being too vague, being just a pleasant person in general and have useful content! i started this tutorial yesterday to about halfway and then i restarted today (i have bad memory lmao) and even though i had already watched it i didnt get bored at all Thank you for this! i was having a horrible day and the whole *waves hands* vibe of your channel is very calming and comforting :D

[@XteiXcupX]

I appreciate the time you take to explain the toolsets and why we'd want to change a setting instead of just telling us to change it.

[@firewood_mnd]

This is a fantastic tutorial. I just wanted to give special props for the casual approach you've taken, as it shows it's not a science, you're just playing around til you find something you like, and we should do the same. Something I feel is missed from lots of tutorials.

[@KeelanJon]

I really like your video, it is probably the best sculpting for beginners one. Still, got a simple trick for y'all to shortcut from 0:00 to 20:11. Shift + A (Add), Mesh - Monkey, Ctrl + 4 (for subdivide), Done. Well looking, Suzanne is ready for her hard duty :D

EXCELLENT! I began watching your tutorial as a semi-proficient Blender user, clueless Blender sculptor. I appreciate the effort you took to explain what and why you did things a certain way.

You need to be sure you apply the subdivision to the square, after adding it, there's a small V next to the x button. when you click that it'll show up some options, including apply. You'll want to do that

with version 3.4. You want to add a UV sphere instead of adding subdivision. Because, when you add subdivision to your cube, it does not add any vertices. its still the cube vertices, if you switch to edit mode you can see this.

[@KeelanJon]

Hey Joe, thanks for the comment 😁If you convert your subdivided cube to a mesh, it will then give you all the vertices to work with, hope that helps 🙌

[@GodNSense]

@@KeelanJon Yup, It was an easy switch. Man, there are so many tools! Thanks for the lesson by the way. Keep it up. God bless Bra!

[@karlmoore1837]

Started sculpting characters in Blender. My characters are a bit more detailed than the ones in the tutorial video: when remeshing I get some choppy edges, I can't go too small as it'll be a bit too much for my PC, so I was wondering what ways are there to smooth out/fix these choppy/jagged parts of the sculpt outside of remesh feature size?

[@ifthis_]

Keelan... instant subscriber. New to blender, day 9 or so, this was my intro to sculpting. Perfect tutorial. On to step 2. Cheers

[@Dekae]

I was able to start up a goat head and this was explained pretty well! I had a blunder I had to figure out and somehow.. I managed! (I made a mirror copy of an ear.. and it didn't mirror as finished, so I had to delete a side and remirror it!) I'm really shocked how simple things can be but also look so tedious! Thank you. :) I also wanted to add that the eye tutorial was interesting for a goat character I was working on! I figured it out from your suggestions! I ended up sculpting the nose directly on the face.. Is that a problem for later?

[@hubertdendraak4557]

Thank you for this very well done tutorial. It has the right pacing, the right level of information, the right tone and a cute model to boot. Your channel hits all the right notes for me, I will be back often.
