All of Blender's sculpting functionality lives in Sculpt Mode. From brushes to features to tools, this is where you'll find everything you need to sculpt amazing things with digital clay!
Brushes are your primary tool when sculpting and Blender offers a long list! Additionally there are a plethora of features, menus, and parameters to customize your sculpting workflow.
Beyond forming digital clay, there are tools for posing your sculptures as well adding color through painting.
Blender offers 3 sculpting 'formats' to accommodate various situations: Multires, Voxel Remesh, and Dynamic Topology. Each has powerful benefits as well as limitations to inform our workflow.
Finally we'll apply the tools toward the reason they exist in the first place: Sculpting cool things! In chapter 3 we'll sculpt a stylized shark character from concept art, start to finish.

A great jumpstart on sculpting in blender, this course will give you all the knowledge and skills to spark the passion of sculpting.
Kent delivers this course in a very detail oriented manner but in a way that is easy to understand. As someone that has tried sculpting before with little success, this course has started back up my passion for sculpting :)
For years I've seen professional sculpts and never even considered trying my hand at it because of how complex the sculpting interface looks. Kent does an excellent job of clearly explaining all the various tools, their settings, and use cases.Β
The first time I had ever sculpted in blender was the OG fundamentals of sculpting, and so I came back to this one as a refresher, but picked up a lot of new technical information as well as developed my confidence to push myself beyond the shark assignment.
10/10 would recommend to a friend.
Never took time to fully complete a course for so many years.
Good to be back with an updated course and blender 4.2
Always easy to follow unlike Sketchfab (ending up with an Epic game account and still error 13 with a blend file)
I hope Kent will also update his Human realistic portrait course.
Great job, keep it up.
I have taken the original Fundamentals of Sculpting course and it was an amazing experience. I wanted to take this version too just to see how the tools have evolved/changed and if Kent would approach the sculpt any differently. It was yet another amazing experience!
His approach to teaching is very easy to follow along, while still being super thorough and leaving no details behind.
Sure, it will take practice as with anything, but this course truly gives you all the fundamental knowledge to tackle any sculpt you can imagine! 10/10 recommend.
