Lesson 1
Creating Your Sketch
In this first lesson, Arsen will help you to harness your artistic inspirations and unleash your creativity. You'll learn about Arsen's journey through the art world, and he will break down three of his previous pieces so you can see what made those sculptures tick. Then you'll come up with your own concept, gather references, and create the sketches that will inspire your design for the rest of this course.

Lesson 2
Sculpting Your Model
This lesson will cover the full sculpting process. First, Arsen will take you through ZBrush, along with his favorite shortcuts and tools. While Arsen personally chooses to use ZBrush when creating his art, it's important to note that his same techniques and philosophies can be applied to any sculpting software. After getting comfortable, you will block out your model based on your sketch from the previous lesson, and continuously add more detail until you have a finished sculpt. Finally, you will pose your model. At the end of this lesson, you will be ready for texturing.

Lesson 4
Rendering the Image
This lesson is where your hard work pays off. After importing your model into Blender, you will be able to experiment with different lighting and angles for your final renders. Feel free to explore various setups you hadn't previously thought of. Stumbling onto interesting compositions is part of the creative process, after all! Once this is complete, you will take your images into Photoshop for post-processing. At the end of the course, you will have multiple portfolio-ready pieces.
