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?
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.
~Zach

Hey Reader, Alan here, We’re excited to share that CG Boost is looking to hire and collaborate with new course creators.
