Hey Reader,
Zach here,
If you've ever tried to sculpt a human head in Blender, chances are you discovered just how tricky it can be to get the proportions right.
Maybe you did end up with something that looked human-like, but it just felt "off". I know I have felt that way many times.
So what was missing?
It turns out, the key ingredient is anatomy and a simple, but effective approach to sculpting in 3D.
That is why I’m excited to share that we’ve just released a brand new, free Blender sculpting tutorial, created by our talented Jim Morren.
In this complete guide, you’ll learn how to sculpt a human head from just a simple sphere.

The skills you acquire won’t be limited to human characters; they’ll enhance your work with animals, monsters, and creatures too.
Speaking of creatures, have you seen the latest update to our Master 3D Sculpting in Blender course?
I added a new chapter with 59 new videos, all about sculpting tools and brushes, and 13 fun sculpting challenges to practice and perfect your skills throughout the course.

Have fun!
