Before watching this video, I watched a BUNCH of sculpting tutorials, but only you explained it as clearly as possible!!! Thank you soooo much, Grant!

[@jakkdlaw]

Finally, I sculpted a head! look out world, here I come! Thank you so much for this tutorial, even with knowledge of human anatomy I was still totally stuck until you came along.

[@nickersontommy]

Just made the most cursed image, forgive me for my sins

[@timhoward5]

You're forgiving.

[@aga1nstall0dds]

I think that's his face

[@pr4shantishere]

Grant to the rescue as always

[@BrutalDongshart]

This is brilliant. I can't believe how much information you've squeezed into 33 minutes. I'm as new to Blender and 3D sculpting in general as you can possibly be. This is probably the 6th or 7th video I've watched for beginners, but the first that actually taught me useful information. The others talk too much about concept when I just want to start sculpting. Where they simply showed me the door to a whole new world, you're the one that actually unlocked it. Thank you so much.

[@thyongamer]

I tried on my own and I was struggling with the Sculpting mode and all the "too many" tools to use. You've just simplified it to like 3 tools. That's fantastic to see the gaps that I had in order to progress. Thanks a lot.

[@nateconnelly]

I'm just starting out on my Blender journey and am now on week three - so thankful to have found your channel! Thank you

[@lenmercury7857]

its actually one of the first tutorials, that made me actually understand sculpting! I have trouble learning stuff sometimes due to my disability so thank you!!!!

[@marztecheque]

Your tutorial here is an absolute *Godsend* thank you sir! I cannot tell you how many times I have torn out my hair trying to get some basic sculpting done in Blender. I don't do enough to warrant zbrush at its price. Zbrush core mini doesn't allow easy import of existing models. Thank you so much Grant Abbitt! I had a model I'm making for a game asset in Unity - and right away I see how just having my avatar facing forward along X has been screwing me up - less than 5 minutes into the tutorial and already worth its weight in gold. Thank YOU!

[@Phase_waves]

Thank you, I've been wanting to make 3D models of my characters for a while and your narration makes it so easy to follow along with :)

[@hubertdendraak9313]

An incredibly helpful tutorial for beginners (like me) looking for a first introduction to sculpting in Blender. Just the right pacing, touches on all the fundamentals in an accessible way very clear instructions, invaluable tips. Thank you, Grant!

[@robby_0816]

Simply amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this free tutorial with us!

[@midniteoilsoftware]

I love watching you work Grant.

[@TheSatzy6699]

I like the video pauses that you give for us to follow along, so thoughful !!!

[@Anton_Royale]

First blender tutorial that actually worked out for me. Thank you so much!!!

[@bayupizzy]

I love this guy, the explanation is very easy to understand, the step by step is also very detailed. Thank you bro!

[@rayb.5609]

I havent had this much fun in a long time. I recently graduated with a degree in game design. I am going to look into enrolling in a game art degree program. thank you!

[@CrookedBear]

Thank you so much for this dude, Blender can be super duper confusing to get used to and as a beginner it’s even harder. Awesome tutorial man!👍🏻

[@remusveritas739]

thank you, now my sculpts look instantly better than i ever imagined i would get today. pfeeeeww i knew its gotta be easy if you already know anatomy, i just have to hear somebody tell it step by step how it all works. next your coloring video man, im so hyped

[@bonkyandstebe8187]

This is literally the best step by step tutorial i have ever seen

[@eliellgvs1]

Ok, the best tut abou t sculpting in blender, you convinced me. Thank you, I'll keep watching and practicing w/ all videos in your channel.

[@purposeoflife47]

My first sculpt completed. Thanks Grant Abbit . You are awsome

[@TheBubbajuju]

Amazing pace and tone, perfect instruction for a beginner. So professional.

[@kamius1]

Hi dear Grant, I enjoyed watching this tutorial very much. It is really easy to follow and helpful to gain the skills for sculpting in Blender.

[@grabbitt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DaniZanskar]

I've watched lots of tutorials, but i've never had this much fun and learnt so much. I think i'm gonna like sculpting in Blender now 😊

[@bennyoaks131]

DUDE! Your studio is absolutely awesome!!!

[@CircusOfBedlam]

I just switched from C4D/Zbrush to Blender. I hate Zbrush but looks like Blender is the tool for me. Words cannot say how much this video helped. 100% the most useful tutorial I have ever gone through. Thanks!

[@a.m.7438]

11:59 absolutely awesome advice and tip, thank you. I really need to get used to using shift and ctrl. But I've only been using Blender for 1 week. Been putting myself through it with tutorials and practicing. Lots of personal work and it's really fun. Learning so much.

[@Mightydoggo]

Great video, as always! Btw for anyone wanting to support the guy and struggling with organization, I can recommend the courses. I decided to give it a try because it´s really hard to get a coherent learning experience when suffering from adhd, but the way the lessons are structured, the length and the missing of any fluff have been a pretty smooth experience for me so far. Big W.

[@grabbitt]

Thanks 🙂

[@Blender.ads.]

شكرا لك من اعماق قلبي لم اجد في كل اليوتيوب شخص يشرح افضل منك

[@MyCrystalPlaid]

This tutorial was a delight to follow, Grant. You sounded like you were really enjoying what you were doing and having a lot of fun with the sculpt. That made it a ton of fun for me to try to replicate your sculpt. Thank you for making so many tutorials available. You were recommended by the instructor in my very first Blender class, and you're still my go-to tutor.

[@grabbitt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@smilgu]

Thank You for very detailed tutorial, Mr.Abbitt! This is what I looking for :)

[@baboucheka9400]

best sculpt tutorial i've ever watch thank you :)

[@whatdaro]

great instructions and right to the point. clear and smooth flow of work, subbed!

[@szabolcsdenes6626]

I never taught I will learn sculpting from a 30 min video, u are amazing man, we love u . :DDD

[@ryeloafbreadmen1080]

Excellent video! Been having a hard time with sculpting and this really made it click with me

[@tacticallubricant]

Great video, I needed to learn sculpting for a project and this nailed it!

[@NJFletcher]

This looks great. Just watched the full thing, and looking forward to following along. Thanks for putting in the time to make this video.

[@Gairsh98]

Thank you for your great, free tutorials Grant

[@JakOfAllTrades]

This has been amazingly helpful in understanding and using the sculpt tools in blender! On a side note: I got serious Bob Ross feelings during the entire tutorial and felt like I was watching The Joy of Painting as a kid again.

[@Twe1veofc1ubs]

i can''t describe how much i thank you for this tutorial! This is the best guide i''ve seen so far. Definately gonna check the rest of your videos.

[@grabbitt]

Glad it helped!

[@chrisclark784]

Great video! I'm absolutely horrendous at drawing people, but for some reason sculpting in Blender comes naturally.

[@Tomy_Yon]

I like you adding in pause moments. It is so considerate. And, hey, I'm actually sculpting a head from scratch. 😊

[@god0faxolotls4]

Thank you so much! This tutorial helped me tremendously!

[@patcowley6378]

EASIEST TO FOLLOW LESSON...OMG DID MORE IN 5 MINUTES THAN EVER BEFORE ...LIKED AND SUBBED

[@anthonyobryan3485]

This was a fun experience. I have next to no artistic talent at all, and I learned a lot. I first jumped into your dragon tutorial, and I got nowhere at all. I've been using Blender for about 17 years to make very simple models (I'm now in my fifties), and have learned a lot along the way, but I've been avoiding sculpting for as long as Blender has had sculpting, for the above-mentioned lack of artistic talent. My immediate failure with the dragon was quite depressing, as I need to create a child-friendly dragon for one of my projects. I resigned myself to having to learn to walk before learning to run, so I found this sculpting tutorial and made it all the way through. My head looks reasonable, given my near complete lack of artistic talent, and I've regained my motivation. I'm impressed with how much can be done with sculpting for someone like me with just a few tools.

[@staraffectus2651]

Thank youuu!!! Me and my friend are starting a claymation series and i need to know how to use blender because we'll be 3d printing props and all of our skeletons for our puppets!!!

[@Markus86J]

This is so helpful! I never knew which of the sculpting tools in Blender to start with. Thanks!

[@bojangles684]

Doesn't just teach you how to do it, but explains what you are doing and why. Thank you

[@Ashtarot77]

I'm well chuffed with how mine turned out 😁 Going to try it on a realistic character next. 🙌

[@Brett3am]

Amazing video as always... very informative! Thank you so much!

[@GabeDStudios]

I'm glad i watched your video. i learned a few new things. Thank you. Your voice is also very relaxing.

[@streamingvideo6654]

Awesome, as always! Thanks!

[@zimmmerit6308]

You are the best teacher!

[@mariabellaguarda5645]

great tutorial! thank you so much

[@andabien3]

Excellent, as always.

[@macofish1]

Sweet I've got a couple of yours that are older...I think all the way back to 2.8. Wow that was like 4 years ago? I was thinking of starting one of those today, I think it was the one where it was a tree stump on a floating island but it's a couple of hours (I'll get to it) but this is a quick 1/2 hour...can't wait! Cheers sir!

[@PaulEmsley]

Great stuff! Looking forward to painting/shading. Curious to see what you're going to do with the eyes. (re: the part between the nose and mouth, it's "philtrum", btw).

[@catmanc]

What a great tutorial video!!!

[@IlseMulAuthor]

Thanks for an interesting tutorial! I'm going to try this in the future :)

[@andromeda4257]

i have a hard time with 2D stuff and can't always get my hand on clay to work it myself, so i wanted to give blender a go to sculpt my characters. i finished the donut tutorial a few days ago and I'm excited by the comments to see what this tutorial and the playlist you put together has to offer :D

[@HeroNatio]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@HaikuTutorials]

[@mervecelik5689]

thank you for this amazing tutorial! I was looking for a good one to learn sculpting but they were lack of detail and not beginner friendly. it was an amazing tutarial which taught things that I couldn't learn from the other videos. This is the first time I've written an youtube comment so you can understand how good this is 💣

[@grabbitt]

Glad you liked it!

great upload, got me all fired up to sculpt :D

[@sral8769]

Thank you that was really helpful

[@Keras___]

Thanks for the tutorial.

[@1223santigato]

I think that smoothing shouldn't be used till the end. Is better to increase the policount as much as possible from the beginning to really experience digital sculpting, use a brush that builds form fast. Do not care much about weird textures at the beginning but think about building the right forms first and once that is accomplished then refine with smoothing. Don't start refining from the beginning, Do it at the end. Thanks for the tutorial, you are a fantastic teacher and beyond that, you are a fantastic person for giving away this information for free.

[@cleberlimacls]

Just want to add something for beginners who also use a graphic pad/pen: Another option for views instead of using gizmo or pressing numpad is "ALT + Hold and drag left click" to the direction. I felt very intuitive and easier to work since my finger are already on Shift or CTRL. Tks Grant, great content.

[@jackcleveland1175]

Thank you, Grant! Woot!

[@chahan2566]

thank you

[@GaryParris]

great work Grant.

[@YellowCowz]

Thank you sir!

[@user-mp5tu9su3v]

Jest waw You are so professional, greet video more information less time. Allah bless Your efforts

[@afafmellaha]

YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE BEST TECHNIQUE TO TEACH , this tutorial was really super cool and very easy to follow , its my first time sculpting ever , and i skipped a lot of tutorial because they wre really hard to follow , thanks a loot and will definitely buy your paid course too

[@grabbitt]

Thanks very much

[@authordsf1440]

Thancs man!

[@RatQueen3D]

Thank You again so much! See u more at Gamedev! :)

[@IamBLAA98]

Wow. You’re like the Bob Ross of 3D art - I came to learn about sculpting (and I did) but I can easily see myself coming back to this video for a good night story. You have such a soft voice! 😍 And funny “evil“ laughter hehe

[@grabbitt]

Haha. Thanks 😀

[@pellzysgaming]

Great video. Seems easy to follow, haha. Could you make another of these videos but full body sculpting. Meaning head, body arms, hands, legs, and feet. If you're able to.

[@adalissaaa]

My hero

[@TruthSurge]

wow, I had no idea you could remesh over and over. I thought it was something you did after you were done. Ok, so remesh just sort of finds polygons that are too large and converts to more detail and also ones too small? and ups them so that most of them are in a tight range? well, I guess all that matters is you can keep equalizing to your target range every time. Yeah, big to small. Foundation and form first because if you go in detail first, you'll not be able to easily change your big shapes or maybe its iffy but this is very interesting and helpful to see what youre supposed to be doing. thx

[@selv_]

I learned blender from you, I know all your videos are blender only but it would be great if you did 3dCoat stuff

[@evang3720]

thx bro

[@MrMandarin20]

very good

[@th3n0thin94]

Gettin major 3D Bob Ross vibes, lol! Also, clearly an artist would say "an upsidedown W shape" vs just saying an M shape 😎 Super awesome vid and is a massive help to me. Thank you!

[@grabbitt]

Yes, M's often have straight edges 🙂

[@davidk4856]

thank you

[@konradwelz8752]

This is honestly like watching Bob Ross... calming magic.
