I really wanted to thank you Grant for taking all the time into teaching and sharing your knowledge! I have watched a lot of your videos these last few months, I even bought your character course and had a blast with it, and I learned a lot! Thank you ! Saved this video for later too!

[@grabbitt]

good to hear :)

[@ILLRICARDO]

Blender is getting so many updates this year alone, it's amazing!!

[@danieljolani3404]

Honestly this is probably one if not the best sculpting tutorials to follow along with. Not only do you get to slowly build a project & gains some sense of navigation but also are provided great detailed tips for each step! Thanks a million Grant! 🙏🏼

[@RobertManzano]

Great tutorial, I love that you explain repeatedly which tools/hotkeys you use, it makes it so easy to follow along and learn very fast.

[@garycartwright5137]

Brilliant and truly inspiring to watch you, Grant. As a founding member of a SW company called "Corel," I can promise you that your presentation skills would have deemed you one of the perfect employees. Your ability to speak of your modeling and at the same time as you made slight errors show that your not a 'Robot'. I was pleasantly surprised to hear and see you correct yourself as you went along for what is a simple but fine rendition of a 15th to 18th-century Wizard. I will take my hat off to you Grant Abbitt and join you on your ride with Blender. Cheers Mate...

[@Ryra89]

Actually Bob Ross of Blender,Thank you very much Grant!

[@LeslieSolorzanov]

You make it look so easy. I like your calm soothing voice, like a Bob Ross of sculpting. I get blocked all the time I am always scared of doing something wrong. I used to sculpt with real clay, this is a new world for me :)

[@PixxelProductions717]

Such a great sculpt with few starting blocks, going to try this for myself. Seeing how this is textured will be good too.

[@118andrey]

I used to avoid sculpting like fire when i was less expirienced Now it's my favorite part of creating

[@Willsing7]

Thanks for posting. I learn a LOT each time I watch any of your videos.

[@yusaibali8838]

You are the best teacher . Teaching us really good loved your work sir keep it up and God bless you .

[@alexz198]

Thank you very much for tutorials. Dyntopo turns itself off because of UV maps (which is vertex data). Since Blender as of 2.8 creates UV maps for objects automatically, generally all objects now have them. One way to avoid that dyntopo on/off stuff is to remove UV maps from object (click minus sign in the Object data tab > UV maps rollout). Also shortcut to enable dyntopo in Sculpt mode is Ctrl+D

[@RenierBoshoff]

Had a lot of fun with my own little grumpy dwarf & my new XP-Pen deco Pro!! Thanks!!

[@grabbitt]

Great to hear!

[@tboards271]

Grant thanks for posting another fantastic tutorial. This answered a bunch of questions that just came up in my own project. As a beginner, I really appreciate the pace and scale of your tutorials. Your skill as a teacher and and ability to create accessible content for someone with a beginner's knowledge is remarkable.

[@dragomirpetrov5600]

I was head of T&D in a comoany for 5 years. I always told the trainers, that a great trainer is someone who can make complex things look simple, and using simple elements - create something complex. I strongly recommend watching everything on this channel! If you have poor skills, you will become good. If you're already good, you'll become great! Watch first, and practice on the second watch - you won't regret it😉 Good luck!

[@grabbitt]

many thanks :)

Thanks :) Yeah i still prefer to use dyntopo most of the time :)

[@JayAnAm]

@@grabbitt Ok I see... seems like it will be removed but I'd also appreciate to keep it, but improved in way 3DCoat has it or Zbrush with sculptris pro feature. I would love to have a vertex remesher that works just for face sets or masks and keeps the rest of the mesh as is.

Hi, I am deaf and new with Blender and following your guide by reading the caption. I cannot see how you can choose between objects. You are choosing object by your mouse, in 7:09. How did you do that?

Alt left click but InTouch lock object modes in preferences

When I try to do the mirror at around 2:10, I get an error message that says "Failed to set value" - why? What do I do about it? I definitely can't get it to mirror, it seems like it's creating the mirrored bit on top of the bit I'm clicking. Also can't get the alt+leftclick to select individual spheres to work with the moustache, but it works with all the other bits. Why?

[@grabbitt]

not sure of that error message. Alt left click goes to the mode it was in last

[@TAwintermute]

@@grabbitt Okay. Could I be using a different version than you?

[@Blackness1994]

Whenever I try to undo something or turn my gnome a bunch of my object disappears and I have to close blender to get it that part of the object back. It started around 4:10 is when we finished up the hat and went to the arms. Is it because I'm working on an old laptop?

[@grabbitt]

Yeah to that's some bugs in the remesh. Make sure all your driver's are up to date

[@Blackness1994]

@@grabbitt I'm not really sure what that means.

[@crissarodaeli3793]

Here's the thing that i want to know what i miss actually: 2:35 i followed what you did, deleting 2 object on the left side, then add modifier also the CTRL + L, then the next step is about sculpt the hat but you only draw from one side and the other copied the shape. How exactly you did it? Because when i tried it doesn't work at all Sorry for my broken english language

I had a small issue where the mirrored objects wouldn't sculpt mirrored across the 2 objects evenly after the mirror modifier was applied - it was as simple as setting the origin to geometry, once I realised the origin was not centered evenly on the applied mirror objects.

Of course once I figure it out and hit play again - you mention this after I was confused for 20 minutes... sigh :O

procedural

[@M13337]

Great tutorial! :) For some reason Dynotopo keeps turning itself off all the time and I keep sculpting the already existing mesh... annoying. Also, as someone else also wrote, the Simplify brush doesn’t work for me. I have to use the Draw brush to get the resolution/detail. Odd.

[@grabbitt]

I'll have to look more into it

[@linneaduvstrom5657]

Awesome video! So fun to follow along!! But sometimes when i ctrl+z to go back (when in sculpt mode) everything turns glitchy, like all the different layers (hat, shoes, etc) and to fix it I have to go each of the layers and add/toggle Dyntopo again since it says that it's not on (but it was clearly on cuz I've been working like that the whole time). Do you know why that happens? It's really annoying :(
