This class is beginner friendly! I explain every step along the way to ensure that you don't miss a beat. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I will help as soon as I can!

If you find the Zbrush user interface challenging I recommend you check out my class Zbrush For Beginners! It is a full overview of the main tools and functionality that Zbrush has to offer, and it will help get you up to speed with how to use the program!

You will need a working computer that can run Zbrush and a license for the software.

If you don't own a permanent license for Zbrush, I believe they now offer a monthly subscription, making it much more accessible to students and beginners!
