Sculpt January 2023 Prompts 🗿🔨
Hey Reader,
Zach here and I have some "bittersweet" news for you.
Let's start with the "sweet" news: 2023 is about to start, so it is time for another round of Sculpt January, the 31-day-challenge to improve your sculpting skills (+ get 20% off for our Blender sculpting course).
The "bitter" news: This will be the last time we are hosting this event.
Although this is a super fun challenge, and we love to see all your great sculptures, we're in the process of re-focusing our time and energy on the projects that really matter to us, to provide the best quality in what we do best: tutorials and courses. This is why we decided to let go of Sculpt January after January 2023.
What is Sculpt January?
It is an online event, where you can challenge your sculpting skills (digital or traditional) over 31 days of January, with a set of 31 topics we provide (list below). There are no prizes, it's all about improving your sculpting skills and having fun.
​
How to take part?
- Create a sculpting inspired by the topics we provide for each day of January 2023 (see the prompts list below)
- Post images of your results on social media
- Tag your posts with the hashtag #sculptjanuary2023 and mention us @sculptjanuary
- If you get all 31 sculptures done, share a collage at the end of the month, and be proud of what you have achieved đź’Ş
You can also follow Sculpt January on Twitter and Instagram, there we'll share some of your creations (we closed the Facebook group, since we are not active there anymore).​

Prompt List
Here you can download the prompt list and logo in high resolution.
Thanks to the community for suggesting and voting for the topics.
Despite the bittersweet news, in behalf of the entire CG Boost team, I wish you a fantastic, creative new year and a fun (last) Sculpt January challenge.

Hey Reader, We are back with a fresh dose of news, inspiration, and resources from the 3D world.

Hey Reader, Hair is one of those features that’s easy to overlook, but plays an important role in making a character feel truly real and alive. Character from Javier Benver “Wild Hair” By the time you reach character grooming, you’ve usually gone through sculpting, modeling, retopology, texturing & shading. Your initial energy and passion can start feeling low, and the temptation to rush your character's hair is real. But this is the very moment to slow down and lean in. Hair can be one of...
Hey Reader, Today I want to expand on the Master 3D Characters Part 3 update and specifically why we teach you to texture an entire character without leaving Blender. First, tools like Substance Painter are widely used for good reason, we are not agains it at all, it’s a industry standard powerful tool. But, it’s also valuable to stay in creative flow, inside one program like Blender. So you can move from sculpting, to modeling, to texturing, to lighting, without breaking your flow. That is...
