[@Nintendward]

This man is simply one of the greatest tutors on youtube. Thank you very much Nikolay

[@bobmcbobby5211]

You are absolutely incredible. No other KZbinr or course has helped me so much as you. You really help me to understand how to sculpt things and how the anatomy really is. Your humor is also super nice. It makes watching an hour long video extremely enjoyable and go by so fast. Thank you very much!

[@aneebartist7207]

Agreed

[@Darkrikou62]

I'm amazed to see how some little move action can change the feeling so much. Very good video! It's the kind of issue all the beginners are doing, very helpfull. Thank you. I'm still with your course on female anatomy on udemy, I learnt a lot with it, I really recommand it!

[@pabloG3d]

a few millimeters can completely change the way the face looks.

[@londonnoel7336]

i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released series online?

[@kristopherjoaquin2037]

@London Noel try FlixZone. You can find it on google =)

[@aneebartist7207]

You are the best face guy and you are giving this knowledge free here. I have seen so many artists but your knowledge and indication are too the point and helpful. anyone can understand

[@jimmy-k6770]

Believe me Or not this is the only existing full hearted tutorial. You are great sir 🙏🙏🙏

[@daviseldho679]

Man... You are one of best teachers on youtube.. Funny, Entertaining and Informative… thanks a lot for the tutorials… keep it up

[@ghaznavipc]

I'm a Blender user and I want to thank you for every muscle that you added to that burned victim :)))

[@niggurathart6706]

постоянно руководствуюсь Вашими уроками при скульптинге,огромное спасибо!

[@brandonmarquez7396]

Amazing as always Niko !!! , I bought several courses from u just to thank you and they are worth it every cent , It's always nice to see that you upload a video ! ,keep it up! cheers :D !

[@ВладиславКотельников-я1и]

I especially want to note that in addition to the useful content of your videos, they have such a pleasant atmosphere. I don't even know how to convey it correctly. The atmosphere of such calmness, the feeling that everything will be fine and everything will definitely work out.

[@xxxflash1471]

yeah, I agree. such a chill, entertaining video with so much advice, it's a really great educational source

[@mpej429]

I really like how you explain, in a understandable way, your process to improve your work and the work of other. You give very valuables tips. Great thanks !

[@radoman1234]

One of most useful tutorials I ever see. Some kind of retro engineering. Regular tutorials can't cover some things. btw. live stream. Even 100 people is too much, especially when "teacher" want to answer to everyone :D

[@SaChInRaJpUt-pc7wp]

thanks man you are great i just started to sculpt on zbrush and your tutorials helped me alot

[@davidgeorge6278]

Before watching your courses on Udemy, I was incapable of sculping people. I could not even make a head like your student Vladimir. After watching your course for the first time, I was able to make shitty people, with bad volumes. So I watched the course and all your videos again, and again, and again. Now it is a month or two later, and I am able to not only sculpt people well, but I can sculpt people exactly. I am currently working on a sculpture of robocop (original robocop) with his mask off, and he is looking exactly like he looked in the movie. I am also working on a sculpture of Smurfette from the smurfs cartoon, but photorealistic. She is looking soooo good, that my wife is actually jeallous of her. I have wanted to be able to sculpt ever since I was a child, and saw the movie Groundhog Day, where he leans to make ice sculptures, but I was never able to sculpt anything, no matter how hard I tried. Investing in your courses was some of the best money I ever spent.

[@SpeedChar]

Thank you man. It was an inspiring story :). I am so glad you found the stuff i do helpful :).

[@mentertainment7608]

U r an awsm artist & the way u explain is mind blowing. I have never seen someone explaining like this amazing way. Its really helps us.

Your videos are the best! I improved a lot just by watching them, you were far more helpful than any other tutor around youtube. Thank you so much! :)

[@SpeedChar]

That is very flattering, thank you! :)

[@edwardro3779]

7:36 I'm cackling This is a very good critique by the way!

[@commanderdante3185]

You do some things I've never seen before. I think your style is amazing. The way I learned I'm constantly using the move tool to pull sections like the Eyes or Lips into their correct orientation whereas you create the shapes more organicaly. This is a really great video for any future viewers.

[@TheNerdOnTube]

I was struggling because I wasn’t understanding what was wrong with the eyelids I sculpted. The way you fixed it pretty easily in this video made me realize the error I was making. Thank you for all the free work you’re putting on KZbin, looking forward to buy your female anatomy course. Cheers from Italy!

[@lastbaiken1177]

You're my role model and I aspire to be as good as you someday Niko. Thank you for all the content you give us.

[@ВладиславКотельников-я1и]

1000 likes and no dislikes. Nice result and nice video!

[@SpeedChar]

Yeah it is very rarely seen these days especially when people are depressed and frustrated about the quarantine something to not have dislikes. It is strange even :)

[@reginaldarmah2381]

This is exactly what I have been waiting for

[@JansifyArt]

Simply out of appreciation i bought your female anatomy course on Udemy! Even though i use blender instead of Zbrush (like you do mostly) i really like your universal way of explaining things making it easy to follow along regardless of the software you are using. Keep up the good work your content is extremly helpful :)

[@gamepat9]

Great Video! I wish I had this when I started sculpting. Would have saved me so much struggle. As a veteran character artist I would like to say...watch and listen closely to what he's explaining. He is covering all the areas every character modeler has problems with in the beginning (me included). The best advice I would give is: Look ad 3d scans and real faces and learn and understand WHY things look how they look. This is when I learned the most.

[@kenechukwuuzongwa6786]

i love you in every artistic manner!

[@IGarrettI]

Im not exactly a beginner, but I know a lot of these issues might have carried over without me addressing them. Thanks !

[@Agherr08]

super helpful, many thanks! I make the same mistakes and didn't know how to solve them.

[@ardon.89]

I'm a Mongolian watching this and the transition made me laugh. Pretty on point I must say. Your tutorials are great, man!

[@SpeedChar]

haha :). Thank you! :)

[@truscorpion4383]

He did look like you i said that to myself before you mentioned it but thats easy to because you know your face better than anybody from memory ay least you should. I've done it several times or i make my model look like someone i know or someone I've been seeing a lot and may have been subconsciously studying their face! good video thanks.

[@petras741]

Awesome video, love it, please make more. Oh and hopping over to Udemy to buy more of your courses :0

[@Ultramini]

Thank you, great video, as usual very high quality contents, like all your tutorials and courses. If I may suggest a topic: could you think about a video on sculpting stylized hair? Greetings!

[@SpeedChar]

I have touched that topic a bit in the stylized girl head video, two videos back :). Maybe at some point i will make one only for that, why now.

Hey man thanks for your video that really helping me can u think in the future make a tutorial on how to texture skin and add hair with xgen etc.. ! :)

Yep i can think about it, but that is all i can do atm, because i haven't touched XGEN and Maya :).

[@VitoFabrizioBrugnola]

Hi Niko! Is the model dynameshed or subdivided? And, if is dynameshed, at what level? Thank you for your content! Looking forward for your next course. Also interested in sendin you one of my models to have feedback!

[@SpeedChar]

The model is dynameshed on 256 i think. But it doesn't matter, it would be easier to work with lower polycount when we redo big forms :).

[@VitoFabrizioBrugnola]

It was probably a mistake, because today there is no dislike :). Or he just was scared by your comment :).

[@dimitry9817]

Thank you 🙏

[@canylmaz2484]

I have purchased 3 courses of you, and I would be very happy if you could make a course about making stylized game-ready character (Fortnite or Overwatch style). I wonder about your workflow.

[@SpeedChar]

Doing that course right now. It will be a high poly only, but later we can do a retopo in Zbrush and some fixing in blender course, we will see.

[@RAMPAGE618]

отличный формат, ждем еще разбор ошибок

[@WarkolakA]

a little bit of an alien, a little bit of a burn victim... im dead lmao

[@truscorpion]

A little bit off hes being nice you guys i like that humility but if he a beginner i think he was doing good so far every body more or less will pass through stages of evolution into a highly crafted object or image or whatever your doing! and dont forget a lot of patience and determination make lots of mistakes and learn from what you might at first perceive as negative turns positive its all in your perspective! but in general the instructor is good and zbrush is one awesome 3d tool If you know how to tell zbrush what you want it to do!"the more you know the further you go" Tru
