    What are some other problems you, or sculptors you know struggle with?

    I have too many ideas. It's like living in a constant blizzard of creativity. Focus on the first idea is near impossible. I start trying to sculpt a cat, and end up with a unicorn.

    Developing only one side of the body or face and regrettably procrastinating the other side is one of my biggest mistakes.

    Great tips - thanks. I have fallen victim in the past to putting detail in too soon, then having to redo a lot of stuff because the volume underneath wasn't correct. The other common mistake I see in beginning sculptors, that I fell into early on, but thankfully got out of fairly quickly, was smoothing things too early. Seems there's a tendency for people to want to make things smooth because, ultimately, the skin is smooth. But they end up smoothing things that are incorrect, then sort of thinking of that part as more complete because it's smooth, even though the volume is incorrect.

    That last mistake and what you said about improving those areas. A comic book artist said something similar. We went in to Marvel(I think) but wasn't good at drawing hands at the time. They said he could never be a good comic book artist. He took that and really started practicing hands and got hired on by another comic book company.

    Would this course be useful for an aspiring digital sculptor in Zbrush? I want to do character art but figure sculpting is really hard to learn.

    My art tutor said ‘never polish a turd”, in other words get the foundations right before wasting your time on details. You will only end up destroying them later because the anatomy is wrong.
