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!
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
@@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 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.
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
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!!!!
Really enjoying this tutorial. I'm just watching it straight through so I've got an idea of all the stages, before jumping in and following along. The name you were looking for (the little triangular part of the ear by the ear hole) is called the "tragus".
this video single handedly helped me so much, allowed me to create one of my first honest to god relatively detailed humanoid. Gotta appreciate the effort, thank you so much!
animation student here, i have my final exam due in a month, had my 3d sculpting class in zbrush 2 years ago (im completely rusty and dont want to relearn zbrush) im learning blender with this tutorial and so far so good, thank you!!
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!
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.
Thank you for your tutorial, Keelan! I have been wanting to sculpt and learn to model with Blender for a long time! But when I realized that the thing I wanted to make would greatly benefit from sculpting, I finally went and looked for a video to show me how to do it! And what a great video it is! You introduced me and everyone at an excellent pace and made learning fun! Thank you!
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.
This tutorail really helped me! This was my third attempt after trying the donut tutorial. The donut tutorial isn't bad. I was just unable to truly focus on it. This was well done!! I was invested and attentive troughout all of it!
I have tried to follow numerous beginner sculpting tuts, this is absolutely outstanding, easy to follow, and you explain the steps! Thank you so much. Subscribed and liked, looking forward to other videos.
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.
I just downloaded blender this week and stumbled upon your lowpoly car tutorial. I feel like i've hit the jackpot in finding a great teacher out of the gates! Thanks a lot for the quality content and inspiration. May your coffee never go cold
this really really helped me, when i got blender i didnt know anything, until i found this video, its soooooooo helpful and i made my own 3d avatar in minutes. thanks
this so amazing! so easy to understand 😁😁 i love the way you really enjoy that, it's weird but I have to say this is the most comfortable tutorial clip I've ever seen
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
Hey! While I didn't really follow your tutorial fully, I had it playing in the background while listening to your advice, and now for the first time in a while, im having fun using blender again! Thank you kind sir!
thank you so much for this walkthrough i was trying so hard to learn how to make my pony oc models main longer this is very helpfull they dont give durections on strechting the side bar to see the names of sculpting things ❤
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
Hey so I just had this playing and made a coffee and came back at 8:15 ... Just gonna say that it definitely does not look like a neck to someone just walking in.
I got to the part where I was about to set the eyes, and when I turned on symmetry, the cursors were definitely not symmetrical. I think I may have skipped a step. I'm happy with what I got done, and it's late enough that i'm going to stop for the day, but i love this tutorial, and will take another crack at it tomorrow. Thanks!
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
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
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.
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!
Thank you for the affirmation, that you're using a keyboard and mouse; i've always thought someone needs a tablet and stylus!
@@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 😁
@@KeelanJon your laughing is so refreshing !!😅
:)
Veryyyy hard to make.
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
right I forgot omg!
Where were you an hour ago for me?? Lmao
my saviour XD
Thank u !!
you were a great help!🤩
"If you're still with me now, I'm proud of you." made me so happy, Thank you so much I'm so happy with how this is turning out
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.
Thank you sm I was looking for the apply button but couldn't find it !
I love you
THANK YOU

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

about to give up on blender until i randomly find ur video, really thnx alot man
By far the best Blender tutorial I've tried yet, and I'm not just talking about sculpting alone!
I love that you take a second to point out some basic keybindings and menu things.
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.
This is by far the best blender tutorial ever I watch this in 2024 and it's still the same thank you so much
a calm energy and clear instructions. 10/10 tutorial
When I added the subdivision modifier my shape dissapeared.... What do I do
@@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
I am a complete beginner, and I bookmarked this immediately. No one has a tutorial as good as yours!
watched this a year ago and havent really used blender alot since then ... just watched it again as a refresh ... really helps thx!
This helped me alot. You gave detail SLOWLY but steadily and you showed us what we need to click and where to go. Thank you

Hey thanks man, hope you enjoy this series 😁🙌
got taught more from this video then any of the blender tutorials
they just talk and get me less motivated but you actually gave tips
This tutorail really helped me! This was my third attempt after trying the donut tutorial. The donut tutorial isn't bad. I was just unable to truly focus on it. This was well done!! I was invested and attentive troughout all of it!
This is the only video that’s recent and actually helpful I’ve found, everything else is either outdated by years or impossible to understand
First time I completed a Blender tutorial and learned something!
ive struggled with sculpting in blender and this tutorial completely changed that tysm!
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
As a beginner to blender, I really did enjoy this tutorial a lot. Thank you so much!
Thanks for taking the time to record this; I love that we can learn by watching UA-cam videos. Thanks sir :)
Thank god for your videos, only videos i get recommended is the donut and I can say yours is definatly better
I have tried to follow numerous beginner sculpting tuts, this is absolutely outstanding, easy to follow, and you explain the steps! Thank you so much. Subscribed and liked, looking forward to other videos.

Keelan... instant subscriber. New to blender, day 9 or so, this was my intro to sculpting.
Perfect tutorial. On to step 2.
Cheers
GOATED teacher
Thank you for the remesh tip, it was one of the things that was making sculpting difficult for me
daaamn, amaaazing tutorial, thank you. I managed to sculpt something I liked at the first go. Enjoying this technique. Kudos
This is such a great tutorial!! It simplified the process and I learned more about the tools so I could do my own thing.
This helped a lot. I now understand the basics of modeling things in 3D
I just downloaded blender this week and stumbled upon your lowpoly car tutorial. I feel like i've hit the jackpot in finding a great teacher out of the gates! Thanks a lot for the quality content and inspiration. May your coffee never go cold
Glad I could help! And appreciate the coffee comment 😉😁🙌

This was really helpful for teaching me general sculpting techniques, especially as a starter! Thanks
Thanks my man! The tutorial was very useful to me :D
This is my third time watching this awesome tutorial. Thanks.
The Ctrl+RMB trick for extruding is pretty cool!
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
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!!!
