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 😁

Veryyyy hard to make.

[@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!

[@mollyoglesby5149]

Where were you an hour ago for me?? Lmao

[@samireagle4349]

my saviour XD

[@loganhaddad4020]

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.

[@lullaschneider8525]

Thank you sm I was looking for the apply button but couldn't find it !

This is by far the best "How To Sculpt in Blender" tutorial around. Easily explained. You see the results happening in real time. And it works if you try it! Thank you for this and all your videos!

Still Can’t believe this is free. Thank you for making and sharing!

[@KeelanJon]

You're very welcome :)

[@blobof4294]

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

[@Transitionsband1]

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!

[@Dreplays2]

shut yo npc lookin

[@gachakittenyt6763]

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.

[@Andriej69]

By far the best Blender tutorial I've tried yet, and I'm not just talking about sculpting alone!

[@TrickyMickTrucking]

I am a complete beginner, and I bookmarked this immediately. No one has a tutorial as good as yours!

[@rileyb3d]

Fantastic tutorial and introduction to beginners! You've got some great teaching skills and a nice edit too. I'm definitely subscribed.

[@JA-in3hw]

I love that you take a second to point out some basic keybindings and menu things.

[@desktechies2175]

This has been easier to follow than most other tutorials. Thank you very much.

[@davids9027]

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. If I can digest the information you presented I'll be on my way with a current project of making a chibi style raccoon as a mesh gift for a 3d grid world. Thanks.

[@LeneChibi]

It's so much fun watching you having fun while explaining everything :D never smiled this much while following a tutorial. love your videos!

[@nathitappan]

Such an easy teaching style and an approachable method that I feel like I don't hate sculpting anymore. Definitely going to finish the series and subscribe. Thank you so much for putting this out there!

[@irfanabdurrahman3592]

I just found this tutorial on the suggestion bar while i watch other turtorial and this is the best tutorial video i have ever clicked, man, the way you guide us in the video is just so easy to follow, thank you so much for the time and effort to make this video. You are helping this newbie so much

[@MartiQwx]

I love it when you at 14:09 say "I've recorded it about three times" with this hopeful, near giving up voice 😆

[@youngdochoi3434]

Keelan! You finally did this! On behalf of blender community, thank you so much for this! Such a legend. 💯💯💯

[@KeelanJon]

Hey thanks man, hope you enjoy this series 😁🙌

[@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'm happy you enjoyed and I appreciate the kind feedback 😁🙌

[@MacDonellCashRicher]

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.

[@shawnwoodrow1930]

Oh man, I love your uplifting teaching style. The character is also looking great

[@NicoleSummer8]

Your explanation is clear and easy to follow for beginners! Love it!😍👍💪

[@Shomeurtitz]

Great tutorial! Haven’t messed with Blender in years. Used your tutorial to re familiarize myself with some of the tools. Great starting off point!!!

[@bakongous]

There has literally not been a more helpful tutorial for blender this is the best one i could find

[@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.

[@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.

[@fayefaerii]

Hi! Absolute begginer here! Never used Blender before, its my third day and you helped me a lot! Thank you

[@rahhimramly5530]

i love the way you explain with every keys on keyboard and the tips.. because i'm totally newbie using blender. thank u so much :D

[@iPeanutbrain]

this is actually really helpful! I really wanted to sculpt my fursona, but i had no idea where to even start or how to navigate the app. I followed this tutorial, but created my own shapes and it turned out really well!! :D thank you so much!!!!

dude wth is a fursona

[@nerdudi5745]

This is such a great tutorial!! It simplified the process and I learned more about the tools so I could do my own thing.

Thanks for taking the time to record this; I love that we can learn by watching KZbin videos. Thanks sir :)

[@movepigeon]

This is a wonderful tutorial, so glad I came across it and your channel! I was getting a bit lost/frustrated with modeling characters from a geometry angle, and sculpting feels so so so much nicer.

Love it. I wish I had looked at this sooner. This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@cj-cv7zv]

so much better than the other tutorials, they go too fast and really arent beginner friendly even if it says beginner in the title, the inputs also help more than you could know, thank you

[@RareFilesClub]

bro, those black and white transition card screens along with your intro are FIRE!!!!!! perfect example of classic elements and techniques will always be better than new flashy effects

[@GrilledChickenRamyun]

What a life saver. Been stuck with my 3D characters project and miraculously stumbled upon your tutorials. Anyways, as novice myself. Could you perhaps create timeline, marks for easy reference

a calm energy and clear instructions. 10/10 tutorial

[@aimeejacobs2323]

When I added the subdivision modifier my shape dissapeared.... What do I do

[@janvangils5560]

@@aimeejacobs2323 I suggest you undo, if that ship has sailed it will be tough to fix but I suggest you at least check if the object has all its faces and no holes, might be causing it

This would be a good start for me to get into sculpting. Oh and you can use the Shortcut "Shift+R" to adjust and visually see the voxel size in the viewport and then "Ctrl+R" to remesh. Thank you.
