Do you want to create 3D sculptures you can be proud of?

Are free Blender sculpting tutorials on YouTube only giving you a basic understanding, but they don't teach you all the steps necessary to create stunning, high-quality sculptures?

That's why we created this extensive Blender course, that teaches you all important sculpting workflows using only free tools.

Learn in a step by step sculpting project how to bring a cute 3D creature to life, by sculpting from references, adding color and rendering a turntable animation.

So, pick up your graphics tablet (a mouse will do too, but it's much less fun) and start your sculpting journey.

Sculpting Challenges – Practice your sculpting skills

We spread 13 little sculpting challenges throughout the course, which are little random exercises, to give you a break from the bigger project, and also give you a chance to sharpen your sculpting skills. You will get a prompt, set yourself personal limitations, like sculpting for one hour only, or only use a sphere as sculpting foundation, and then you let your creativity flow.
